Happy 14th Birthday

I am definitely going to miss you this fall when I am at college, your goofing moments, the serious talks we have! You have grown up so fast... starting out at 2 and a half pounds, you are no longer that tiny little baby that fit in the palm of Daddy's hand, you are the hard working young man that puts many hours in on the farm, but know that no matter how big you get, you will never out grow your Heavenly Father's Hand!

Little Known Facts:

• He was the smallest baby in the family at 2 1/2 pounds, he was so small my dad could fit his wedding ring around his wrist.
• He was 2 months old when he got to come home from the hospital...for the first time.
• My sister wanted to name him Beethoven M&M Wolf, because when we found out we had a brother, she was watching Beethoven, the movie about the St. Bernard..., and eating M& M's.
• He loved going out in the field with Dad in the tractor, and was known to sleep the whole time.
• He broke his thumb playing at the park, when they took the cast off he had flax sprouting inside it.
• He broke is elbow wrestling when he was 9.
• He found out that cars can't swim this last fall.
• And quite recently he ran my sisters bicycle into a power pole. (He needs to work on his driving skills.)

I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
1 John 2:14
