Happy 18th Birthday Josiah James!!!!Joey,
I don't even know where to start...thank you for being the best little brother anyone could ask for! Seeing you grow this past year (and I don't just mean physically :) has been so encouraging. I have noticed the way you look out for Mel and me, serve at home without being asked, and your obedience to Mom and Dad. Thank you for being our comic relief...I can't stop laughing when I'm around you! I love it when you come into our room right before bed and just won't stop talking! Though Mel and I get upset at first, we soon forget about being tired and ask you to sleep on our floor so we can keep talking and laughing. Your leadership among your friends is so apparent. They look up to you a lot. One thing I admire most about you is your desire to battle sin. Your tender heart and sensitivity toward your sin is something to be grateful for Joey! I can see that it has made the cross all the more dear to you.
I love you so much and I hope you have a wonderful Birthday, my little Martin Luther! You have finally passed me in height but you will always be my dear kid brother!!!

I had to post this one...yes, I was basically bald!
Birthday Morning!!!
Josiah had to get up early this morning because he and Dad are driving up to Ohio with a bunch of other boys and dads so that tomorrow they can spend the day at Cedar Point! Luckies! So we made Joey a birthday breakfast before they headed out. Josh and Beau came over to eat too. (Relient K and Everyday Sunday music just for Joey)
PS:
You have to check out my cousins' post here....probably one of the best blog posts I have ever seen! Go Bones :)
