The Chamberlains

 11 years old...and handsome, and smart, and silly. We went to the Classic Fun Center for his birthday. And Tim Tams for a birthday treat? Absolutely! That much easier for me! Oh, and did we mention that this kid landed the role of Michael Banks in the Mary Poppins school musical? He was so nervous to try out, but he practiced like crazy (with a British accent I might add) and went in and nailed it! So proud! Can't wait to see him perform in March. Park has a calming and even personality. He is grounded and is just a good kid. How did we get so lucky?

 I think this is Surgery number 4 for Scott since we've been married. This time it's for a bunion and hammer toe. Doesn't he look so hot waiting for his turn? :D

 We are officially into the teenage years with this girl! 13 years old! We went to a trampoline park for this one. And she wanted an apple pie for her birthday treat. This girl is so kind and thoughtful. She is an incredible example of goodness to her friends at school. She often talks about how so many of her friends from elementary now swear and say mean things at school, but they know not to around her. She has such a desire to be a good person and to help others. She is an amazing artist and has a beautiful voice. We are so proud of her and love her to pieces!

I got this note from Indie the other day. It makes my heart happy when my kids tell me they like me, maybe even more than when they tell me they love me. At their ages I think liking me means more than loving me.
