16 years of pumpkins and smiles

16 years ago Dylan James Welch came into the world.

Each year we'd trek up to the apple farm and take his picture with the pumpkins.

Here's my favorite...


A few weekends ago Dylan kept saying "When are we going to the apple farm?" He asked at least 3 or 4 times. Now, when your teenager ASKS to go somewhere with the family that many times, you do it no matter what.

So off we went - and we took a picture of him with the pumpkins. Maybe he'll put it on his Facebook.


I look at these two pictures and I'm in awe of the young man now before me. Just a moment ago he was a rosy-cheeked toddler running among the apple trees.

Happy Birthday Dylan. We love you more than all the pumpkin patches and apple orchards in the world.

You too Drew! Awwwww!
