Max is playing soccer again and really seems to like it even more than last year. He has become more aggressive (in a good way) in wanting to follow and kick the ball. He gets to play with some of his good buddies from school, so that is also fun. And, Greg and I have loved getting to form friendships with these parents. Oh we have got to get Max into some type of music or instrument. He can still listen to a song a few times and know it. His current favorite is, "While I am waiting". It's a song about praising God or serving Him while we are waiting on Him. Max literally belts it out. He told me the other day that he wasn't going to practice it again because he didn't want to make me cry!
I love seeing how God made each of our children so different. Greg and I often dream about who they will be and what gifts God has given them. Whatever they do or become is fine with me, but I do want to build confident men.
Love you Max...and I love seeing you grow and change over the years. It's hard to swallow and I do get a little sad watching you grow so fast. But my mom & dad always taught me to look at the good...and the good is that you are growing into an amazing little man. Your dad and I are proud of you!

I agree Laura! And no pressure to you or Max, but it sure is nice to have such a wonderful role model for our boys. You have no idea how many times I talk about Max to encourage Owen!
Your boys are precious and it's such a joy to watch them grow into wonderful young men. And we are so blessed that our children are so close in age and can enjoy childhood together!
wow! Max has filled out...I almost thought the pic was Sutton. He is such a neat kid. We know that God has amazing things instore for him. Wish we were closer to see what buds him & Si would be....hopefully some day!
Miss you all!
Max is so handsome and he IS growing into a Wonderful young man. What is really WONDERFUL, Max is a boy after God, Laura, you and Greg are raising your boys to live for God, that is the most a parent can do for their children. I cannot believe he is has old has he is, it just seems like the other day when I saw him as a baby, and my goodness, Sutton and Luke have just came like the wind. Life flies by, we really NEED to embrace it and ENJOY EVERY moment we have with our family and friends. Well I have tears in my eyes, I can't go on. Love you all.....
What a handsome young man...seriously I can't belive he's so grown up! I'm sure your heart is beaming with pride when you look into his sweet little eyes.
And I'm with Max...While I'm waiting is my new favorite song...the 1st time I heard it, I couldn't stop bawling...oh how I needed to hear that song as we were going thru fertility treatments...God had a plan all along :)I just needed to wait and praise him!
I don't even know where to start. I look at this picture and I am really stunned. I think it takes a picture to show me that when I look at him, I still see him as a little boy. In my mind I have not let him grow up.....but Laura...he looks like a big boy in this picture....
He is such a sweet boy....and is so much like his daddy.
