Happy Birthday Tommy!

August 9, 2010

Thirteen years ago Tommy was born.  I am having a hard time getting used to saying I have a "teenager." I just am not ready for all that comes with THAT.  Lucky for me, he is a pretty darn good kid.  For example, I asked him on Saturday night if he had clean golf clothes for Sunday or did I need to wash something.  He said, "I have clean clothes, Thank you."  An unsolicited thank you from a sometimes surly teen.  I just smiled ear to ear.  And then complimented him on his good manners.
P.S.  Look at those cute little freckles on his nose...they appeared after summer camp in California.

Happy Birthday Tommy.  I am blessed beyond measure.

Here we are at his birthday dinner which we had last night because today was, ugh, the first day of school.  (see next post).
