Our oldest, Michael (pictured to the left), is 15 as of yesterday.  Below you’ll find pics of the boy who’s too quickly becoming a man.  Be fearful since he’s driving in less than a year, but also know that he continues to amaze his parents every day.  I doubt we could be prouder of what he’s continuing to make of himself and I know we’re both grateful for the kind, big-hearted young man he already is.  Happy b-day big guy.

Related: Last year’s birthday.  It all still applies, but even more so.  You’ll notice that I’m back to calling him Michael since his efforts to get us to call him Mike have failed miserably at home.  Also, if you don’t think kids change fast just check out the picture of him in last year’s post, taken in July, 2006 and the picture above which was taken in August, 2007.  I think he’s grown a foot.  The pictures below are Michael as a toddler, on his 7th birthday, on horseback in the summer of ’03 and Christmas, 2004.
