Happy 11th Mitchell

My nephew Mitchell is 11 today.  It’s fun to be able to talk to him and say, I remember the night you were born, I remember feeding you and of course telling him that I used to change his diaper.  Mitch, we hope you’re having a great day and have a great year being 11.

This is the first family birthday we will miss (and we missed Jessi’s—she let us know, too).  I have to say this is one thing that will be hard as we are so many miles away.  I always did my best to make all the family birthday’s b/c family is important and to now know this is the first of many parties we will miss makes me a little weepy!

Anyway, as I was looking back through my archives I noticed Mitchell got the very first birthday wish on my blog and from there it went downhill.  I barely recognized anyone else’s birthday, so I resolve to do a better job of that this year.
