{ 17 }

'Tis the season at our house.... the birthday season!   We have three birthdays, a "gotcha day", Thanksgiving, and Christmas... all in a three month period.  Whew!
Justin is now 17.   Seventeen???   Seriously?   I'm speechless.  How is it possible that we have a 17 year old son?

His friends decorated his truck (I should say, the truck that dad lets him drive!) at school and filled it with balloons (apparently the truck was stuffed full of balloons when he first opened the door).

One of his friends gave him 2 goldfish.  Points for originality, but I am curious to see how the new owner keeps up with the maintenance.  ;)  Jason and Sarah were very interested in watching them eat the fish food.

Happy birthday, Justin!  You are a fine young man who loves God and strives to do what's right.  You are so smart and funny-- there's never a dull moment at our house!  You are a great example to others.  We are very proud of you and love you!
