Master James

My baby just turned 9.... so hard to imagine... he used to be able to fit on my lap!

He was my first born, and I was scared to death. Now I know, he was sent to us for a reason, and my life would never be complete without him...

Since he first came to this world, he has made us laugh and smile. He's the Guardian Angel in our family, always putting us, including his parents, first and foremost... guiding us in the direction he knows we need to go.
He's always had this knack, of wrapping us all around his finger, because he was always so sincere and caring.

Now, he's 9, and growing like a weed... I was putting shoes away the other day, and realized that his shoes are only a 1/2 inch shorter than mine! That's when it started to hit me. He has big feet. It's not going to be long, before he really grows up, in personality, and height. I don't know if I'm ready for that, yet!

So, I am trying to take in every moment. I still wonder if he takes care of me, more than I take care of him. He has this 6th sense, and knows exactly what Todd and I need, and knows exactly when to do it. It's amazing, and we love him so much for it. He's our glue that sticks us all together.

He's becoming our little chef, and cooks us marvellous meals... Shrimp stir fry and tomatoes with basil and parmesan... FABULOUS!

He's Ellie's cuddle bug... she loves nothing more than to lay down and cuddle with James in the morning, when they are both still waking up!

He's the best big brother anyone could ask for. Always watching out, and taking care of his younger siblings, without any complaint.

James truly watches over us all. We are so blessed to have him in our family, and as much as I hate to admit this, I do look forward to watching him grow up, and become who we know he can become.
