I HAVE A TEENAGER!!!

On this day thirteen years ago, Alexander Robert Dolan was born.  This handsome baby boy was the first child for an excited and nervous set of parents and the first grandchild on both sides of the family.  He was loved before he was even born and became loved more and more with every breath he took.  Fast forward thirteen years and I am the proud mother of a wonderful TEENAGER who is kind, generous, polite, funny, responsible, creative, mature, helpful and loving.  I am so proud of the young man he has become.  I must say, though, I can't believe that I have a TEENAGER living in my house... one that shaves, gets emotional, questions me, doesn't tell me everything and would much rather play video games in his "man cave" than anything else.  I can still remember the day he was born and all of the days in between and it seems crazy how fast time has flown by.  Happy Birthday to my amazing thirteen year-old son, Alex!!!  We LOVE you SO SO SO much!
