HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUBLE DIGITS:

WHEN YOU LEFT YOUR FACE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL

AFTER A WEEK OF NEOSPORIN

IN THE WIZARD OF OZ

FIRST COMMUNION

YOUR FIRST TRIATHLON

WITH YOUR SIX BROTHERS

WHAT A GREAT SWIMMER!!!

AS AN ALTAR BOY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sweet son who is our little family Poster Child!!! You are the one who dresses nice and grooms yourself when we are at social events. You go around and say hi to the people making the rest of us look good. You love all sports (and are good at them too), you are a good student(except when you decide to help the little guys-which I love), and you have a great imagination!!!

I love the notes you leave around for us!!!

Like the one you made when you were 6: yu com in the room i brek yur face

Or the one you left for us on the night before your birthday explaining what you wanted for your birthday breakfast in bed:

Instructions for his little sisters: warm not Hot coco moshon (motion), with six marshmellows, one candy cane, and a spoon, and a napkin, wip cream on hot choclate and best odessy tape ever.

Instructions for his brothers:
scramble egg with a little cheese, pepper, salt, old bay. Toast on the side with butter,bout(put) toast on three(temp toaster!), bout(put) toast next to eggs. Saulsa next to egg. I guess the word put will be on your next spelling test!

I think he enjoyed it and dividy up what he didn't like to the five scavengers who stood and watched him eat it in bed!!!

My favorite part was having all of us (except the two oldest in college) at 8am mass together...oh my heart!!! What a great way to start the year with a blessing from our great Monsignor who remembers the fight over to baptize you. I am so glad that Monsignor Hogan won the fight, because you were one of the last baptism he got to do.

THY WILL BE DONE!!! +JMJ+
