ELEVEN. 11. eleven.

                   eleventh birthday
on February nineteenth 
 can it be my little boy

Anders just tipped over the edge of ten into his eleventh year and it seems impossible that this many years have passed by so quickly, so miraculously!   As he enters this  new year, he will exit elementary school, begin middle school, visit Sweden,  and edge just that much closer to puberty and his teenage years.  Yet still, he is firmly rooted in childhood and maintains a certain level of naivete; he plays with toy animals and nerf guns; loves being with his little brother; gets excited about holidays and his birthday and still believes in the possibility of the magic that comes along with them.    It's been a remarkable life, this life with Anders and I so look forward to the path up ahead.   Happy Birthday Anders!!!!!    I love you so much! 


These are some photo's from his birthday morning and his birthday party....

a lazer tag party with his friends.   





In addition to a lazer tag party with friends - on his birthday Anders got to shoot off rockets with his whole class ( blog post coming!) and he and his friend Sophia were chosen as Magical Mailbox magicians in school for their creative stop-motion animation about a mythical creature.  Whata birthday!!
