Alex's 13th Birthday!


Alex's 13th Birthday was spent celebrating the week. :) Adam and I are on opposite work schedules. I'm off weekends and he works them. So, we celebrated with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Reba at Pizza Hut one night and with Daddy two nights later. Here are pics from Pizza Hut. Our girls are officially both teenagers now.

Alex's Artwork

Random moments I get to slow down and I am so surprised at how old our girls are getting and just how beautifully talented they are. This is one of Alex's latest sketches. It is of Link a character on one of her video games. It is amazing to watch her draw something like this at the age of 13. I keep wondering, what will her art be like 10 years from now after college? This is her dream job, designing artwork for video games. But for now, I cherish the moments like this: Walking in from work the other day to find Adam and Alex sketching in the living room together. Alex was shocked, "Dad I didn't know you could draw! You are really good!" I smiled and told her to tuck that away somewhere safe. Adam throws away his sketches, just for fun he will say. I hope Alex pursues art for the rest of her life. So grateful that this gift was passed on. Generational Gifts! A celebration of life. The past, present and the future.
