Shaun this is great! Happy Birthday to Fred! He does look like such a happy guy and I can feel that love you have for him coming through cyber space at this very minute! it is always a great day of celebration for the parents when a birthday is celebrated...especially the mom. My theory is that she should get a present also. I wish that would catch on, don't you?
Happy Birthday, Fred! You have all the reason in the world to succeed. A perfect age to begin shedding the foibles of youth and to captilize on your past successses. Time to soar toward the promise of a prosperous and rewarding life as an adult. Whoo Hoo!
Well, that made me cry.
