This one is my oldest. My first baby. The one who made me a mommy. The one who was so easy, so helpful & so darn cute. Well, at 16.5 with a Learner’s Permit, and a Junior in high school, he’s still pretty easy, helpful when encouraged, and well, as you can see, he’s pretty darn handsome, too! I just love this kid {well…I love them all, but this one is about him, so..}. As many know by now, we moved to Seattle just a few weeks ago, but not all of us. 3 of the kids stayed in Phoenix. I love Seattle, I love the weather, the city, our cute house, everything about it…but I miss my 3 boys who stayed in the Valley of the Sun. So so much. I text them all the time and technology has kept them close, but not seeing them has been a struggle for this mommy. I took these pictures shortly before we said our goodbyes and they went with their dad, and we hopped in the car headed for Seattle. I smiled as I edited these because they turned out great, he’s getting so old and more and more handsome; and I teared up because I miss him so much, and it’s only been a few weeks. As you can imagine, there will be miles racking up, as I will be going to visit and they will be visiting us in Seattle, too. I’m itching to book the first flight!! In the meantime, I harass him with texts![]()
