We officially have a teenager in our household! And as far as teenagers go, he's pretty great. After driving home from the Meine's cabin and a quick stop at home to unpack, we headed to take the birthday boy out to dinner. Unfortunately, the place he chose was closed for New Year's Day so we went with plan b, which was one of his other favorites, Umami, and it was great. I made him a yummy dulce de leche cake for his birthday. I hope he felt very loved on his birthday, because he is!
Found this selfie he took on my phone on his birthday.
I am so grateful for Jackson. He's such a great kid. He's done so well in making the jump to junior high. He's doing well in all of his classes (many of which are A.L.L.-accelerated learning). He's making new friends, and finding new strengths and interests. He's really taking off in tennis this year and jumped up the tennis ladder, where he is currently 3rd in varsity as a 7th grader! Jackson has always been kind and thoughtful and he's such a great leader in our family. Very grateful for this boy who is growing up so fast!

One of the recent changes for Jackson is he got glasses and contacts! I didn't know he had impaired vision at all, but at his well-child check at the pediatrician he struggled on the eye exam and they suggested we see an optometrist. We found out he did need vision correction, so he's the proud new owner of contacts and two new pairs of glasses. I think he looks very handsome with the glasses!
