On November 10th Cody turned sweet 16. Happy Birthday Cody!! Although I was at camp, I managed to sneak away to have dinner at home with my family to celebrate this special day. It was good fun to come home to just the older kids, as Brett and Travis were staying at friends' houses. (thanks Linda and Sonya!!) You don't realise how much of everyone's attention the 2 youngest get until they're not there. We had a great evening, with lots of undisturbed talking and game playing.
It's amazing, thinking of Cody already turning 16. It doesn't seem that long ago that we got married and soon after our first baby was born. A little boy who pooped on the doctor's shoes as he was born. I remember thinking how easy the whole parenting thing is because Cody was such an easy baby and toddler. You just had to say no and he listened!! He was an easy-going, contented baby and still has that same character today. He doesn't get overly excited about things but is content with whatever comes his way. He was lucky to have such a character because being the first born he was, and still is, often the guinea pig; trial and error parenting... Thanks be to God, he has grown into a wonderful young man and I look forward to the next few years as he enters into adulthood.

Wow, and I was feeling "old" having a 13 year old in the house! Congratulations to you!
It is nice to spend some time with the older ones sometimes, always amazes me the thoughts and insights they have.
Isn't it amazing how time flies? Do you get to do the driving/licence thing already? When does that start for you? John will be able to get his learners already in June, when he is 15. In some ways I look forward to it, in some ways it's scary! Don't you just love these teenagers though? Sure brings a whole new meaning when the jokes start flying, and they are the ones making you laugh instead of the other way around. Just lovin' this parenting thing!! God bless! Love Elaine
