I find it so crazy to believe that this little guy is 9! It seems like this time has flown by so very fast. Alex is such an amazing young man. He still has a good hold on my heart strings. I love that he still thinks I’m important enough to tell me he loves me every morning before school and gives me a hug. He makes sure that if I am home at night, he does the same before he goes to bed. He is such a hard worker and it truly shows. If he decides he wants something, he finds a way to make it happen, wether it’s lemonade sales or shoveling snow.
