Happy 12th Birthday Joshua

How can it be that our oldest grandson is 12 today!  

He is  an amazing young man.
He is quiet, yet full of words when he is interested in a subject.
He loves sports and FUN!

We SO enjoyed celebrating him last evening ~
his favorite 5 Guys!
We talked alot about sports and his life in general.
He was so talkative!
We loved our time together so much.

I gave him a book on World War II ~
and some pictures of his great grandfather (my dad)
during the war.  He loved hearing about my dad.
It meant so much to me to see that genuine interest.

He has THE BEST smile!!!!!!

He enjoys family time ~ loves his siblings {most of the time!}

He is studious and is good at school.

This seems like yesterday.......

Joshua, Papa and I love you so much.

Happy Birthday to you ~
may God bless your year ahead!
