It’s also bittersweet yearly as you develop extra right into a younger man. Time goes so quick. You’re doing so effectively.

These two footage from the final yr seize a June day in Sioux Falls once we had been taking household footage, and our mom/son Mom’s Day photograph that I require of you. Your hair has gotten longer since then and mine has gotten shorter.
You’ve left your teenagers behind you. You’ve a lot to sit up for within the subsequent yr, and we sit up for supporting you and witnessing it. Have an awesome second semester. Get pleasure from your rising relationship with Halle.
