Mr. A Turns 17



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 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!

Awww, how cute! Happy b-day (late)!

It's always worth the pain knowing you did a good job raising a fine young man.
