"a portrait of one, two, or all three of my children - once each week - in 2019"
Jaden: You scored a 50-yard touchdown run on the very first play of the game this past weekend, and your team went on to beat Waterloo West pretty handily. One game left, one more practice, and one week shy of your first basketball tournament. We're living out the glory days, these days.
Brandon: I watched you at the end of your last practice of the season last night, and I was so dang proud of you. While the rest of your team was getting rather rambunctious by the end of practice, losing focus on the coaches and the practice itself, you kept urging your teammates to pay attention, get back to the huddle and "focus." You lead in a business-like manner but with kindness, too, and when I watch you among your peers, I can't help but think we've done something right...
Kaitlyn: Oh, my dolly. You now clap along to "When you're happy and you know it..." -- and you think it's super fun to escape to Brandon's room and climb up top his big boy bed. I do most of my Christmas shopping in November so the other day I was planning out your Christmas gifts, and I think I'm going to enjoy them more than you are! But even so - I can't wait to dive into the world of pretend play with you as you grow and develop more and more.
