Fourteen
Firstborn
Overgrown bangs
Unusually understated
Rarely ruffled (in public)
Terrifically techno-savvy
Enviable eyelashes
Enjoys a good joke
Necessarily nonchalant

I consider myself like that sometimes. After reading such lovely acronyms!
Love this post!
Cut the cake!!!
Fourteen was an usual age for me. I don’t want to relive that again.
That’s fun! My favorite is “overgrown bangs.” Looks like my big boy!!
Mary, some of his teachers say they think he likes the long bangs so he can remain rather elusive. Tamika, you know, I don’t know that I’d want to relive it either, truth be told! Though I’m drawn to write about and to that age group. Maybe because it was a rather imperfect time in my life. I’m still sorting through it. ๐
He is a handsome young man, Roxane. Love the poem! ๐
Beautiful photo and great thoughts!
Your oldest baby is fourteen! He is very handsome..I think the overgrown bangs thing is popular with that age group..I have a Grandaughter that is thirteen..hair in the eyes drives me nuts. so I just move it away from her beautiful eyes!
Fourteen..such a scary, strange finding yourself kind of age:)
Very delightful cake. My favorite is the Black forest torte,by the way!
cheers for all ๐
