13

13!  Winston is 13!  Where did time go?  I know I seem to be saying this a lot lately, but we have had a lot of milestones this year and it seems like yesterday Frank and I just met on Whidby Island, Washington. Here we are now with a second teenager in the house.  Winston is such an awesome kid and I am so glad he is apart of our family. He is our winner.  He is a baby whisperer.  He is helpful and considerate.  He is easy going and a peacemaker though he likes to stir the pot sometimes with his younger brother Roman.  He loves soccer and loves a good meal.  He doesn't ask for much.  Most the time you wouldn't know he was here because he is so quiet.  He loves to travel like his mommy and loves history.  He could tell you all about the American Revolution or the Civil War.  We adore you, Winston.  Thank you for being apart of our family!  You are going to do great things!

We celebrated Winston's birthday first on Friday with a special pre-birthday dinner at Longhorn. This is becoming a favorite tradition between the boys and their dad. Saturday morning he got a breakfast of french toast. We sprayed him with silly string to introduce him into being a teenager followed by cake and pizza.
