Happy Birthday, Tony!

Birthdays of my kids always remind me of past years, memories of the day they were born, favorite memories throughout the years.  Today has been no different.  Twenty-six years ago we changed from a couple to a family.  What a fun, sometimes challenging, adventure our lives have become since then!

We have loved watching Tony grow up, from preschool days spent playing with his brother Craig "fixing" things and playing with toys pretending to farm like Daddy, to new adventures as he got older.  
School years brought plays, programs, room parties, spelling lists, homework, AWANA, and later on music concerts, basketball, track and many more activities. 
In recent years we have been priviledged to have Tony come home from college to join us on the family farm.  We are happy to see his dedication to his family, his love of the land and farming, and most importantly, his love for the Lord. 
Happy Birthday, Tony!  As you celebrate your special day, may you know how much we love you.  We pray the coming year will be one of love and much happiness and blessings for your growing family.
