Amazed

Amazed about sums it up. On Monday our "baby" turned 17. I know I am just as shocked! For his 17th birthday he invited some friends to go paint balling with him and then invited them over for pizza and a movie. It was a perfect birthday party for him :) Then on his birthday we do what we do every year and that is eat their favorite food. This year Bran chose broccoli soup in a bread bowl and pot stickers.
I still cannot believe that he is 17! I am truly shocked! And yet I think I am one of the most blessed moms out there! He is incredible! This year he is being homeschooled and has been such a wonderful help to me and his dad. Plus, we get to spend extra time with him before he heads off to college in a couple years.
One of the things I love the most about him is how much he can pick on his little brothers and sister and yet love on them like no one else! It is so sweet to see Mason curled up asleep on his lap, Joshua wanting to show "Kuya" how he wrote a J, Annika wanting to play with him, or Mikey wanting to just be near him and do what he does.
Just wait to see how shocked we all are when he is 18...!
