Today is our oldest son's 16th birthday. I can hardly believe it!! time goes by so quickly. It seems like just yesterday he was learning to walk, then ride a bike, then skate.....
We are so proud of the wonderful young man Austin has become. He has lots on his shoulders yet he deals with it with maturity and grace. He has lived with my parents since he was 12 to continue on his path to one day play professional hockey - his ultimate dream. Through all the adjustments he has done so well. Through all the scouting and scrutiny - especially this year - he has thrived and handled it with poise. On top of that all he has kept up his grade point and focused. We are so very proud!
Just an fyi - watch out because he will be getting his license in February or March!!!
We love you Austin - Happy 16th Birthday!!!
