Today my third son is sixteen! He was our first quiverfull baby and my first v-bac. He has been a pure delight since his birth. He's sensitive, introverted, loves to play the piano and full of leadership qualities. He loves midevil (sp) movies, Lord of the Rings and those types of shows and books. He's very smart and I imagine he'll get a degree in music. He's stated that he would like to go in that direction. He's also very, very funny.

He started working last month at a local Italian restaurant. He works the lunch hour as a busboy. He seats customers, keeps their drinks filled, sets tables, clean tables and takes orders from other people. (Now that is a good thing!) He doesn't seem to mind doing the little things we ask him to now that he is in the work world.

He will get his driver's license in a few weeks. His driving instructor said he's a very good driver and should have no problems on the road. If he can survive our winding two lane road he'll do fine. He makes sure he stops completely behind the line at stop signs and he even tells me (ole' lead foot) to slow down.

Today we will go to a restaurant at the mall with about twelve of his friends. Oh my-that will be quite the noisy bunch! They will then go into the movies while I take the younger boys home.

                                              Love you Big Guy!
