Tanner's 19th Birthday

 Happy Birthday Tan Man!
I love this young man!  He didn't come to this earth very easy and he has never stopped moving since the first time they put him in my arms.  I love his creative thinking and adventures! I love watching my children become young adults.  Tanner has experienced a year of great growth and acceptance of things we can not control.  Last month he moved out of the house.  It was time and I am so proud of his grateful attitude and the connection and bond we are developing.  He continues to be that old spirit inside a youthful body.  We were cleaning up his "stuff" and organizing his old room when I came across his black leather penny loafer shoes.  He wore them everyday when he was 5.  The shoes, white sox, white tshirt and jeans...nearly EVERYDAY.  After he out grew the shoes, I kept one and my Dad kept the other.  We now have them both together and I look forward to the day I show them to his children.  Tanner keeps us laughing and how I love finding our moments together.  Great opportunities are in store for Tanner.  He will accomplish great things, he bless others and he will become a great man.  I love my Tan Man...I am honored to raise such a wild spirit!
Meanwhile, Jordan continues with her baking and made his birthday cake!
