18 years ago today my second child was given to us.
He was the easiest delivery of all
looked like my dad
had a great head of hair
came out talking...
ready to argue his case.
By the time actual words were formed,
he was hoarse...not kidding.
So this morning, in honor of this little devilish imp
who has turned into a young man who is his mother's joy
we ALL{insert shock and awe}
gathered around the table before school
and had a little birthday breakfast
Shortest birthday celebration ever...
