Fourteen….You Have Arrived!!

Hey hey….Zach is 14 today!! Can you believe it?!  We can’t but then again we can.  Zach is a full on teenager and loves a late night of video games and movies with friends which is exactly how he rang in his birthday.  We are in Chicago visiting friends and family so naturally we are hitting our favorite spots and hanging with some of his best buds.  

How would we describe Zach at 14?  He is a young man of few words until he’s really excited or it’s late and well past time to go to sleep.  At that point, he has a LOT to say!  He does well in school, swims 4-5 days a week, plays some ultimate frisbee, gets sucked into videos on his phone, dabbles with recipes/cooking from time to time, and loves video games as well as a good game of frisbee golf or mountain biking with friends.  And for now, he’s still ok with hanging out with his parents a bit.  

When we get back home Zach will be taking a few friends to celebrate with a game of paintball.  Nothing like boys running around and shooting each other with paint!

Cheers to 14 Zach!  We love being your mom and dad and are excited to see how you grow, learn and have fun over this next year.  Happy Birthday!!!

Oh…even Herm’s gave him a gift this year….
