To my First-born Son -
Today is your 17th birthday. This is the last birthday I can claim you as my little boy. For next year you will officially be a man. Next year your father and I will share you with the world. Everyone will know how amazing you are. But for now you belong to us. I plan to be selfish this year and savor every moment with you.
There are so many things that I could write here but I know I can sum it up in one sentence...
Thank you for making me a mom.
I love you.
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Mr. A!
Happy Birthday to your handsome young man! I love the last picture--he just has that "I'm tolerating you taking this picture, Mom" look on his face!
Aaaww!
Happy Birthday Mr. A! Oh, to be seventeen again. Back when I knew everything!
:-)
Happy Birthday, Mr. A! Congratulations Mom & Dad on a job well done so far!
Bittersweet, isn't it? I'm right there with you...
Awww, how cute! Happy b-day (late)!
It's always worth the pain knowing you did a good job raising a fine young man.
Happy, Happy Birthday A-man. I hope it was a day just like you would have custom-ordered!
A happy belated birthday to your big "boy"!
