Dear D,
Your Auntie Mary nicknamed you that...("D") and here are some things your mommy thinks it stands for:
Delicate & Darling (as a baby of course, you might not like be called these now, huh? Well you still are darling to me!)
Dedicated, you've always shown this quality in everything you set your mind to and love. You are dedicated to your friends, your school, your brother, your parents and to God. I'm proud of you for that.
Dynamic, to me it means more special than the regular person and I believe this about you!
Deep, you get this from your papa and I am so very glad you do. I love to sit and listen to you talk about things that I can see you really are concerned or care about. Your mind has the ability to go to such a special point that many other people are too busy to. This quality will be so valuable in relationships and life. I love how God made you this way.
Devoted, to your family, friends and to your relationship with Jesus. I know that you will always try to pick what is good, right and true!
Determined, I am proud at how you stick to a task and finish it with confidence. Being determined has helped you learn, build friendships, work thru problems and I have seen you rewarded in many ways for this quality!
Daring, you are cautious but take the right risks. That is smart and that is why grandpa lets you drive the ATV all by yourself!
Dashing and Dreamy, these are too words that worry your mommy because I know you are and pretty soon other girls will see it too! These words also mean a tenderness to me, that you are bold but gentle.
Discrete, you know how to keep secrets and information that is important to yourself.
Delightful, I bet for those who know you...they'd surely say this is one of the first "D"s that comes to their mind. You are so enjoyable to be around. Sweet, kind and compassionate.
I get such a hoot out of how you enjoy it when I come up and push your cheeks together and "look" for baby D and squeal when I see him there! My sweet son, you will always be my baby no matter how old you get. 10 is such a fantastic age. Have fun this year. We have seen you grow into such a responsible, loving and wonderful boy. I really look forward to the next 10....as long as they go by NICE and SLOW!
Happy Birfday Buddy!

Happy Birfday D-Man!!!
Oh, double digits- exciting for boys, hard on mommies! I found 10 and 6 to be the hardest on this mama's heart. This year we have another 6, 10 and our first 13 coming up- gulp! Happy Birthday to your D man! Love the collage of pics- you are so great at things like that!
Happy Birthday, D!
Your mom rocks, doesn't she? Isn't it cool that she can list all these things about you in such a special way? Maybe you haven't read this post, but when you're older and you do? I know you'll feel really good, and that's so great.
And P.S. Just because you're ten doesn't mean your mom is old.
What a cutie pie!
Happy B-Day "D" ;-D
I love that middle picture. So sweet.
Happy Birthday!! Love the pictures!
My oldest son turns 10 on Friday. Seriously?? Didn't we just bring these baby boys home from the hospital?
BEAUTIFUL Post!
Blessings, Carolynn

Today is Thursday and my blog watcher thingie has Growin with it at the bottom on the list. Where are you????

"discrete"...now that must be a boy thing! lily can't even keep herself from telling me where she is going to hide when we play hide and seek!
Happy Birfday, D-MAN!!!!
And thus begins the tween years!
What a sweet pea!
Happy Birthday D!!!!
I hate to remind you Linda, but, I'm pretty sure a couple of little girls thought he was dashing and dreamy a long time ago. (Roman and Hannah) With Hannah out of the country, maybe Roman has a little better chance now...
bwahahaha
