My first baby.... my son..... born today, 17 years ago. I cannot even begin to explain how fast the time has flown. Wasn't he just a baby with crazy hair? Or the three year old chasing us with water guns? I just heard him telling us jokes that didn't make sense.... I swear it was just yesterday he talked us all in to getting roller blades (
ack!)... He did, after all, just start high school... didn't he? Right before he became the best big brother, like 5 minutes ago... really!

I am so proud of the young man our son has grown to be. His love for his God, his family, his friends and his country are such a beautiful example to his little sister and those who have the privilege of meeting him.

Josh... you have been an amazing blessing to us and we are so proud of who you are and what you will be. I only wish there were words to describe how much you are loved. Thank you for being such a great kid! I love the relationship we have and I love that you love it as well. You have accomplished much and will be successful at all you put your mind and heart in. Now... about that room.....

Happy Birthday Josh!
