One day, it’s Dan’s birthday. The next day, yours. Ever since you were a little girl, you’ve been a friend. One day I bought a new picture for the wall, and the guys all marched past it, didn’t even notice, but you did. You came up the stairs and paused and pointed it out

After the Go-Carts, the Bumper Boats: Hyper kids got super wet, completely drenched. Two curly-whirly girls: And Tim? Fourteen years of you? Who could have imagined it? You’re growing like crazy, one more year at home before you head out to pursue your EDUCATION, Man. You’re a talented baby-wrangler, and an endlessly patient uncle–so much
