I don’t know where the time went, but we have a nine-year-old and a twelve-year-old. Big Bro celebrated with a gametruck party at the park with about a dozen of his friends, all running between flag football and video games, pounding pizza and powerades and having a great time. Little Bro chose a local Lego store where he and his classmates built cars to race down a track and left with their own minifigures. It’s so much fun to watch them in their element with their friends, telling jokes, running around and just having fun. We’ve had a lot to celebrate this week with these two, and loved every minute of it.
At age 12, Big Bro is a true leader. He runs the show during his Lighthouse Leader in Me club events, including speaking in front of crowds of 50-100 people! His reports cards have come back straight A’s so far, and he’s a team player on the basketball court.
At nine, little b is a dynamic, wisecracking ball of energy and creativity. His favorite time to ask deep questions about the universe is right after bedtime. He has found a new love of engineering through joining the school robotics club, and he’s in his sixth year on the same soccer team surrounded by his best friends.
Both boys still love Legos, dinosaurs, Pokemon and Minecraft. They dislike bedtime and grocery shopping.
