Happy birthday, Mike!

Wow, it's hard to believe we've been in the parenting business for 17 years! Somebody wiser than I once said that the days drag, but the years fly.

He's lifeguarding at the waterpark today, working on his tan. Tonight we're going to take a couple of his friends and go to Jailhouse Pizza in Brandenburg.
