Happy 13th Birthday to my boy!!!

Sometime in the wee hours of the night tonight, I will become the mother of THREE teenagers (help!) My middle boy, Daniel, will be 13 at 3:42 AM. He is a boy of many talents. Here are just a few of his many sides:


With his friends:



With his sister:

In his natural habitat, playing his Nintendo DS:
His many sports:
Soccer -

Football-

Track-


The following black-and-whites were taken by my oldest son, Joseph, at the Track Championships. I think they're really good.



With his girlfriend, Stephanie:




He always has a smile!
As you can tell, I am immensely proud of this boy. He was my baby for almost 6 years. His birthday gifts from me are a membership to The Fitness Zone, where he can begin supervised strength training, and a movie/pizza party for him and his friends tomorrow night.
Happy Birthday Daniel!
