My Youngest is 16!

Earlier in the month my youngest turned 16.  He is an amazing young man.  It is humbling to see how much he loves the Lord and wants to honor God in all he does.  Now don't get me wrong he is still a teenager at times.
This past year has been a challenge for him but he is rising up and I am just in awe at how he handles things.
Without further ado here are some photos of my young one.

Wishing him happy birthday with his favorite - Yardley Ice House

Since running has been difficult, he wanted a bike.

Out at PJ's Pancake house - another one of his favorites.

Being annoyed - I mean loved - by his older sister.
