Today, our boy is TWELVE!
Happy birthday, Smith!
Smith is our kid with the most going on…but would most likely prefer I say the least, and not make a huge deal out of his birthday.
So, here are just a few pics of our main man to share with you on his 12th birthday…
Smith is a true Renaissance man. He really and truly does it all…from baseball to football, snowboarding to fishing, hunting, reading, studying his Bible, playing the violin and making the A Honor Roll at school, Smith just has an insatiable appetite for everything.
It takes a special kind of guy to be squeezed in-between three very vocal sisters, but boy, he not only does it well, but he is without a doubt EVERYONE’S favorite.
I am just super, super, super proud of this kid and cannot wait to see how God continues to grow and develop him this year.
Twelve years old.
Wow.
Happy birthday, buddy. We sure do love you.

A new ‘Bestie Breakdown’ gave me the strength to brave below freezing New England temperatures and take my dog for a walk…just so I could listen! This is a GREAT episode, love it. Just the two of you laughing together made me laugh, and it was the best start to my week. Keep up the podcasts-love ’em!
Mix and Match Mama says
Ohhhhh! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Enjoy your beautiful (and freezing!) New England day!!

Carly says
Happy Birthday Smith! Soooooo glad the podcast is back! I missed it so much! I know that your resolutions aren’t for language this year and you don’t need a new app BUT I am LOVING LOVING LOVING duolingo! It’s so easy to use and to keep you accountable. I think you’d like that you have to keep your “streak” going and it could only take two minutes
Alison says
Smith is so handsome and sounds like an incredible young man. He is the perfect blend between you and Andrew! Happy 12th Birthday, to your Renaissance man!

Happy Birthday to your sweet boy! If you’re still looking for post ideas for 2022, I would LOVE one on how you pack/outfit plan for overseas travel. We are going to England for two weeks in April, and I am in desperate need of tips!

Happy Birthday to Smith!
Also, had to chime in that I use the pointer finger when texting. Never even thought about it. Are we in the minority?!
