Proud

I am a proud mama. I am not going to hide it, I think my baby boy is amazing and I love to share his accomplishments and to show off his pictures. He changes so much from day to day, and it is amazing to watch him grow and develop into his personality and disposition. He is the light of my life.

Isaac is not the only person I aim my pride at these days. I am always proud of my family and friends, but there are two people that really deserve a hefty pat on the back.

My little brother, who is sadly not so little anymore, became a League champion in track this weekend! @$$ haulin' Colin, as my friends and I have dubbed him, won the mile race with a time of 4:36. He is only a sophomore! And he came in second place for the 800, which he only lost by a second, if even. I mean, seriously, who runs that fast? Morever, I got the chance to see this little flash in action when I was in Ohio, and he makes it look so effortless! The kid doesn't even look like he is winded in the slightest! So big CONGRATS from the California branch of the fam, Colin! We couldn't be prouder of you! :0

And then there is one of my nearest and dearest, longtime BFF Z. After about 10 million years of school, she is becoming a Dr. of Drugs very soon. That, alone, makes me very proud. Not just because of the title or the graduation, but because it illustrates her drive, hardwork, and determination. She also has started her own photography website, and gosh darn it, is she good! The things she is able to accomplish continue to amaze me. I have known her since 1st grade, and I have seen her go through many stages in her life. I am so proud of her, and to call her my friend. I could not have picked a better godmother to Isaac. Snaps for Z! :)

Your little boy is beautiful - and while I don't know your brother, he sounds incredible. I am incredibly proud of Z as well, she's my cousin ;-)
