A couple of weeks ago, our tender-hearted, fun-loving, precious younger lad earned another candle on his (King Boo of Super Mario Brothers) birthday cake. He remains imaginative, thoughtful, sensitive, generous, cheerful, friendly, and enthusiastic. In the past year, he has grown taller, kinder, sillier (if that's possible), rougher, and keener than ever on being a valiant
young squire. How blessed we are to have him in our midst.
