Posting on birthday eve...because tomorrow
is insane (x2).

Happy Birthday to my tall drink of milk...Josh.

No, literally--my tall drink of milk. Man,
that kid can put a gallon down faster than
any human I know.

Josh came into this world on
Saturday October 9, 1993 @ 7:30 a.m.
All 9 lbs of his big fat head! Shoulda known
it was a sign of things to come.

Dear Josh you are...

*Smart, unbelievably.

*Tall, we already knew that.

*Athletic

*Funny, some say the "funniest person
they know".

*A thinker, don't try and argue with him
about religion, politics or curfews--he
will always win. And not just because he
is right, he isn't always. BUT, he will
never get agitated or mad and just calmly
keep pressing his thought/idea/opinion
so you just keep listening. Eventually you
come to see his point of view, and if you
don't agree with it--you at least appreciate
it.

*Artistic, man you're good!

*Musical, just think what you could do if
you actually TOOK piano lessons? (I'm jealous)

*Fun to be around.

*Our Chinese "ham fried rice" ...you always know
what to expect and what you're getting with
Josh. Although, he may someday still surprise
us and that is OK too.


I am so glad his gentle soul resides in our
home. He blesses our family with his
presence, just ask him--he'll tell you that!
;O)

HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY "Big Josh".

We love love love you!

Your family

(p.s. i can't find any baby pictures on my
hard drive--imagine him smaller and there
you have a baby picture.)
