Happy Birthday To Chris (even though he's completely embarrased that his mother has a blog)

 
Can you believe he's 18!!  
He thinks the cool thing about being 18 is he can work the ropes course at work.  He wanted video games and a new guitar for his birthday.  So that's what he got.  His brother drove some friends and him to the guiter center in Allentown, and he got to fool around for a long time looking for what he wanted.  He ended up having to order the one he had had his eye on.  He's not big on cake, so I just got him a small ice cream cake.
18 years ago he was a really fat (10 lbs) baby, who cried all the time.  His older brother became glued to him right from the beginning.  A lot of things have always come easy for him, sports, anything physical.  He was always fast.  Always smart. But he was a most clingy child.  They were raised on my hip anyway, but when he was a young teen he was still very very shy.  That changed when he started going to The King's Academy, and working.  Now I wouldn't say he's shy at all.  He lead a small group at school last year for chapel.  So we're very proud of him.  
Happy Birthday Chris!
