This incredible human. Our Alex. From his dramatic entrance a month earlier than expected, to his launch into adulthood, he has not ceased to bring joy, drama, and laughter to all who cross his path. He does not do anything half way. His head and heart is all in with whatever he sets out to do. He is creative, opinionated, intense, a force to be reckoned with. He is smart and savvy. He is funny and serious. He is adorable. I am blessed to witness his journey and am grateful to be his mother.
