Damian celebrated his 12th birthday last month.
12...where has time gone??

Unlike his brothers and dad, Damian is a night owl and will gladly stay up as long as I let him. He takes after me that way and it's kinda fun to finally have someone to share a bowl of popcorn with 11:30 at night.
Damian also has a thing for birds. We'll all be outside and I'll notice that he is standing perfectly still, listening, and then excitedly pointing out a parakeet, or hawk, or some other flying creature. I'm loving the innocence- it won't be too much longer before all that thrill will be coming from pointing out members of the opposite sex-yikes!-and I am in no hurry for him to grow up!

May God bless you and keep you,Damian, may you live your life fully for the One who created you. I am forever blessed to call you my son!
