There has been alot going on for Devlyn the past few weeks! His birthday was July 30th and he turned 12!! I can't believe my baby boy is twelve now! Time really does fly by, treasure those moments you have with the kids because they are gone before you know it! :( He had a great birthday and loves his gifts. He is really into the illusionist/magician Chris Angel so he took all the money he received from out of town family and bought a ton of "magic" supplies. He is actually doing really well with it!
Devlyn was ordained a Deacon this past Sunday at Church, and that was a really cool experience for both Devlyn and myself. (Jeremy was out of town of course!) My little baby boy can now pass the sacrament......crazy!! This past Weds the youth in our Church ward took a day trip to the Columbia South Carolina Temple to do baptisms. Which has to be a day trip since its the closest Temple to Charlotte and its still over 2 hours away! I vote for a Temple being built here in Charlotte, but yet I see that they are building yet ANOTHER temple in Utah! I guess our time will come. Anyway...since Dev turned twelve and was ordained this past Sunday he was able to go with the youth group!!! He had the best time ever!! He was glowing when he returned home and was telling me all about the trip. He said "It was so beautiful and peaceful and I just had the best time! I loved it there. I did 15 people and I feel like a missionary now. Its cool!" I am extremely proud of Devlyn and really glad he was touch by the spirit and able to feel a little slice of what the Temple is all about!
