Lucky 13

I am now the mother of a teenager.

Lucky?

Yes!
Very!

Why?

Because the teenager is Austin!
Any parent would be lucky to have him as their child!

Austin,
You bring such joy to our lives.
We are so proud of the wonderful young man you are becoming,
and Jake and Allie couldn't ask for a better big brother!


We love you!
