12

 

My boy is 12 today.

 If you see Colin, 90% of the time he will have a smile on his face.

He is a good friend, always willing to stand up for those around him.

He is a lover of soccer.

Playing soccer. Watching soccer.

He is a student of the beautiful game.

If asked, he would choose to be on a field, with a ball at his feet, over anything.

"We can go to a movie, or you can go to a soccer practice"

Colin will pick practice. Every time.

Colin also enjoys reading and spending time with friends.

His dream came true this year, and he finally has a dog.

Colin is a good student and while he denies liking school, he does well. 

We are so proud of you, Colin.

Keep being kind.

Keep defending those around you.

Keep your funny sense of humor, your killer "Dad" jokes and your quick wit.

(But, please try to be nicer to your sisters)

We love you and are excited to see where this year takes you!

Happiest Birthday, my love.
