Twelve years ago today...

We welcomed Andrew John into the world. I can't believe he's nearly a teenager. He's been such a joy to us - he has a gentle spirit, despite his recent penchant for teasing his sisters. He's beginning to mature to the point that he's a real help to his father - and a friend. He's so tender with his baby sister that I wonder what a good father he will be, if that is God's plan for him. If he's destined for religious life, he will certainly be a most beloved uncle.

He's been a blessing and I'm proud to be his Mama.
