Donovan turns 11

Eleven years ago yesterday I became a mother. I can't believe my oldest son is eleven. Where has the time gone?

yesterday was not a normal day, at least not a normal birthday

I was sick, Van had two ingrown toes nails cut out. ( he did wonderful, I am so proud of him!)

We did have cake and ice cream last night, but Van didn't want a big deal made of his birthday, no party or anything. 

 here is a quick picture of Van's cake. 

Transformers.

looking back, here are some pictures of Vanny through out the years.

It seems just like yesterday....

that you changed my life....

I became a mother.

to the most wonderful little boy....

I've watched you grow...

and grow.....

and grow.

You've turned into a smart,

funny,

helpful big brother,

I am so proud of you.


I love you.

Happy Birthday.....

Vanny,

I am so Happy You came into my life!

so, even if my big boy doesn't want a big fuss, party and pictures and all ... I am so proud of you!

I love you Vanny!
