Yup -- This is My Boy ... rrggghh....Man

We live vicariously through Cody. He's the cool one. I have told him, since I can remember the little booger of a kid trying to climb up me to give me a hug, that I was going to be depending on him to keep me cool, but who was I kidding...I'm pretty awesome!

Cody has been dating this girl, Emily, for quite some time now. I haven't met her, but she seems real nice. I'm hoping to get to meet her at Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Cody will be 18 soon. My heart breaks to think that my kiddo, my Sir Cody Lot, my Star-Feet Stinky Toe Hair, my first Little - will be a grown man in no time. He has, of course, had his moments, but as far as teenagers go, he's amazing, and I couldn't have asked for a better kid to be unexpectedly brought into my life and more importantly, into my heart.

I love you, kiddo!
