Eighteen years ago Michael made his entrance into the world. Here he is with dad on the way to the nursery while the doctors finished up with mom.
Michael was the center of our world, what first baby isn't? This is in Long Beach at about 2-3 months old.
Thomas the Tank was HUGE with Michael. Here he is with Katie and Dad.
Look how big my baby is now! For Michael's birthday today he got 1 candle on his strawberry shortcake to represent the beginning of his first year as an adult, well, also we couldn't fit 18 candles on his portion. One of the traditions we have for birthdays is the birthday person gets to choose what we eat for all 3 meals on the day of their birthday. These are usually their favorites of everything. Michael's birthday happened to fall on fast Sunday so we ate his favorites on Saturday. Then for dinner on Sunday we had his choice: steak, baked potatoes, salad, zucchini, homemade raspberry lemonade and strawberry shortcake. We had a great day. The Seniors were invited to the Church Educational System fireside, these are generally for young adults, and then stayed after refreshments for a testimony meeting. He didn't get home until 10 so we had dessert late.
Michael also earned his Duty to God certificate for Priest and earned the medallion for earning all three Duty to God certificates. We are so happy with what a fine young man you are, Michael!

So fun to see your kids as babies! I can relate to the Thomas the Train obsession....Congrats on being a mom to an adult.
Happy Birthday Michael! I seriously got all teary looking at those baby pictures. I CANNOT believe he is 18! Such a cute baby and a great kid (i guess adult now), but I'm glad they all still have to sit at the kid table.
