Happy 16th Birthday Uncle Jeffrey!

In keeping with a time-honored tradition, my mother showed up at my younger brother's high school today with a clown, balloons, and cupcakes! oh yea. Penelope and Millie thought it was fantastic, but of course the 16 year old was more than embarrassed. He had heard about this tradition for years--the time my mother came to my school with a bouquet of mylar balloons while dressed as a clown for my sister and my 16th bday... and he didn't think it would happen to him?! come on! I told Penelope to just wait, her day would come. She thinks it's great now, wait 10 years! ha! I managed to embarrass myself a little bit, wearing my "Tex Fan" balloon hat like a good fan, and Penelope was proud to read her self published birthday book to Uncle --complete with secret surprise flaps!! Go P!

How on earth is he 16 already? Has it been that long since I worked in Service Learning with you? Wow! What a fun day...if a little embarrassing! :)

We are so blessed! What a wonderful memory. I am SO glad you are part of it all. Is it a memory or a nightmare being that you still recall your 16th birthday experience?
