HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MERE!!!

Time of Birth

6:11 PM

Today in history…

…God blessed us with a precious baby boy. One year ago today we held him for the very first time! (and we thought he was big then!) We praise God for a happy, healthy, smiley lil’ boy, and we give Him thanks for friends and family who are a part of raising and caring for him.

Happy Birthday Luke!!!

Check out pics from his first birthday party!!

THANKS, SWEETIE!!

So, Friday was my birthday. I am my age last year + one. I’ve had tons of awesome birthdays, but I must say (no disrespect mom!) this one was an incredibly special one! It started off like any other day of my “adult” life: go to work, go to school, come home. The special part was in the coming home! I walked in the house from the garage and was met by my son looking cute as usual, my wife dressed up, a birthday cake on the table and a package next to it. What a treat! Luke was all smiles and Mere had baked a birthday cake and had a surprise present for me! Then she took me out to dinner!!

The surprise present turns into an invitation to all of you (though I may have to say “no” at some point[see previous post], but keep nagging me…I’m weak):

COME PLAY SETTLERS OF CATAN!!!
