I can hardly

believe that our oldest grandson, Jackson, turned 15 today.  When I hear his deep voice, with its Missouri twang to it, saying "Hi Grandma," my heart melts.

Today when we called to sing him Happy Birthday, he told us that he made the Team USA in baseball.  He is one of 16 others in the Midwest region that get to play in a tournament against other Team USA regions.  He loves sports of all kinds and is dedicated to doing what he needs to do to excel.   I'm very proud of his accomplishments, but most of all I'm proud of the kind of young man he is and the man he is becoming.  

We love you, Jackson!
