Soon to be 13!!!

Where has the time gone???  In just about 7 weeks Zach will be 13!!!  It has been fun to watch him grow and develop this past year!  This year he is in honor's science and loves it!  He also scored beyond the 9th grade level in math!!!  His writing is getting better week by week and he is enjoying school!!!  In his free time he still loves football, and he has a huge heart for the elderly and loves to serve them!  An 82 year old friend by the name of Juanita came into our lives recently and my heart fills with pride when I watch Zach carry heavy items for her, open doors for her, and takes her hand when they walk!  In the moments, when Kirk and I are frustrated with living the life with a almost teenager we look at this picture and are quickly reminded that he has a huge heart and what a great and wonderful kiddo he is!
