Adam is a fun, fun teenager. He keeps us entertained with a constant string of jokes. He used to be quiet with little to say and now he has a lot to say and something on nearly every topic. Adam loves food, and thereby soccer and weightlifting. He is big and strong and very useful and capable. When I read about Nephi and Mormon being young, yet large in stature, I have an idea what that meant now. Adam is young, yet large in stature.
At 14 he is more physically capable than his three older siblings were, so he does a lot of the heavy work around the house and yard. He has been up on the roof this week replacing ripped shingles, and he is the man who carries the big heavy packages of shingles up. When I read about fixing your own roof, the first suggestion was to try and carry a package of shingles up a ladder and put them on your roof and if you were okay doing that, then you could do your own roof. It's a good thing we have Adam!!
Adam is a friend to all of us, and is often Sam's sibling of choice. When Sam is sad, he likes Adam to carry him around. The other kids love to draw with him and jump on the trampoline. He makes up wild games that they all love and John and I do not.
Adam plays the piano all the time, but he prefers to learn it his own way. He doesn't have much interest in learning the hymns or the notes particularly, but he learns difficult classical pieces and plays them all the time. Adam also LOVES classical music and keeps good, wholesome music playing in our home. The younger kids know a lot more about classical music because of Adam.
We love our Adam. He brings a lot of joy to our home.

Wow he's changed so much from the picture on the sidebar! He's no longer a little boy. I love the way you describe Adam and Johnny and hope that my girls can marry them or at least someone exactly like them. I really admire the way you raise your children. Good children like yours are scarce in the world today. Keep it up!
