The Boy turns 13

Today in Chicagoland we celebrate the Boy's 13th birthday. We are now the parents of three teen-agers - one in college, one in high school, and one in junior high...oh my. It's been a good day for PTL - breakfast in bed, easy day at school, football after school, his favorite dinner, a YM activity with all his buddies, and then closing the evening opening his gift - 'Rockband' for the Wii. As we speak, he's showing his mom how it works. Classic.

It's great to have a son like the Boy, PTL. He's awesome and brings us a wonderful mix of happiness and terror all at once. He's amazing and continues to evolve into quite the young man. It will be quite an experience the next few years watching him grow and mature. He's quite the character, as this picture reflects:

Happy birthday, chief!

Happy B-day, Parker! Love the costume. Must have been a fun night when that all went down!

Hope the next year brings you many wonderful things!

Happy Birthday PT! I tried to call, but you were gone all day. We love you and can't wait to see you at Thanksgiving time. xoxo
