And...Another Birthday Rolls Around

My middle son is 20 today.

It just can't be true because I remember that day like it was just yesterday.

- I remember when he was born that the doctor said he was bigger than C.J. was.  Not true...he was, in fact, 2 ozs. and a full inch smaller.

- I remember having a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup for lunch (after the big event) while shaking uncontrollably, an after effect of the epudural.

- And I remember feeling so completely and totally blessed to have another healthy, beautiful baby boy!!!

Jon, you have been such a blessing to our family.  Such a strong-willed child






with a kind and caring heart... who has grown into such a great young man who is strong in his convictions, intelligent, and personable.
