Yes, Austin is 12 years old today. He is such a handsome young man whom we adore. Our firstborn . . .I can remember it like it was yesterday. Where has the time gone. . . Austin is our quiet, but strong-willed, very smart and athletic, kind and helpful, respectful child. At parent-teacher conferences last night, his teacher just raved about his huge and kind heart. He is an excellent student, and he definitely does excell at everything he does. Most importantly, we are beginning to see him become more Christ-like in the decisions he makes. Yes, we still have a long way to go, especially when it comes to sibling rivalry, but as a whole Austin is keenly aware of who he is representing in life, and desires to please the Lord in all he does. We are so very proud of you, Austin, and we love you so very much!!
Now, to explain the picture you see!! (Disregard the date on the photo, I just changed batteries and didn't fix the date) Austin took Hunter's Ed. this summer, and Jeremy took him out today on his birthday for his very first hunting trip. And as you can see, it was a very fun and successful day. He took his very first white-tail buck with just one shot!! Good job, Austin!! It was a proud moment for his papa!!
