Remember when you were 11?

I remember when I was 11.  I felt like I was practically a grown up.  I was nearly a pre-teen for goodness' sake!  But...I'm not 11 any more.  That was a while ago.  Almost 6 years ago in fact. 

Guess who's 11 now?  My baby brother.  I know.  It's totally crazy!  He's growing up too fast.  I'm considering putting a brick on his head.

You know, when you watch somebody younger than you grow up you totally know what all the adults mean when they say they feel old because you're so big.  Or when they say time flies.

Ok, here's my happy birthday letter to my bubby. :)

Dear Logan Joe,
Today's your birthday.  Congratulations!  I hope you have an amazing day!  I can't believe you're eleven years old already!  How crazy is that?!

Did you know you're the only one I remember being born?  I remember when you were a baby.  I remember wondering what you'd look like, or how you'd act, or what your hobbies would be when you grew up.

I think it's cool how I'm the only one (other than Grandaddy sometimes) who calls you Logan Joe. ;)

Did you know that you're a lot like me?  I think it's very neat that I can understand you because I'm the same way.

I want you to know that I love you so much!  No matter how many birthdays you have you'll always be my baby brother.  Don't grow up too fast, ok?  

  Love you bunches little man,

P.S. I didn't take all of these photos.  I just put my watermark on them so nobody would take them or nothing like that. :)
