My son Christopher is 13 years old today - a teenager! In fact, we have two teenagers in the house now. Over the years people have always warned us with those "just wait" comments. "Just wait til your kids hit two. Just wait til your kids hit 13. Just wait til they start driving. Just wait til they're both teenagers." Of course the comments are meant to imply that when they hit some particular milestone that our kids would somehow turn into the monsters that all kids really are. Well, our kids are not perfect and we are not perfect parents. But I could not be more grateful for or proud of Christopher and Lydia. They are great kids who both love and serve God.

Christopher, I love you! I love everything about you. I am so proud of you. Most of all, I love your love for God, your love for others, and your love for our family. I'm not exactly sure where you get your craziness, lack of shame, and sense of humor (probably Mommy), but I love it all. I'm not sure what it means, but I'm pretty sure you are uber epic! I hope you have a wonderful day - the day of your birth! By the way, for what it's worth (maybe one Shrute Buck), today is also Tom Cruise's birthday!
