How is it possible, that a decade and a half has flown by? First born. David...God's beloved. And ours. It's hard to fathom that the man-child who towers above me is the same as this child brought forth in blood, sweat, and tears of joy, 15 years ago. You are more than I could ever hope or pray for in a son. I'm excited to watch and support you on your growing up journey, especially these next few years. Oh, how I cherish our car time with air guitars playing, conversation, and "music appreciation". How I laugh at all of your made up words bobble-head nod at all your political, historical, and pop cultural knowledge. And now...it's you who envelops me in his hug. ;) I'm and eternally grateful for all that God has blessed me with in you. So very proud to be your mom. Happy 15th Birthday, David. I love you to the moon and back--to infinity and beyond. ~Mom

Luuuurved these photos, Gretchen. A very sweet tribute to your boy on this momentous occasion.
Aw, happy birthday, David.
And congratulations, Mom & Dad! You guys are doing a great job with that kid.
Sniff, sniff. Where does the time go?
Tissue please....
Thanks, guys. I'm sharing all your comments with him today. :)
Happy birthday David.
What an awesome birthday tribute to your fine fellow! Can't believe how tall he is!
Tell him "happy birthday!".
...I'm not belated, I just wanted to make his birthday last longer...ahem.
Looking at baby pictures of my kiddos always makes me weepy...why does time have to fly when you don't want it to and crawl when you want it to fly??
