Mikey's Birthday Bash

Our family gave Mikey a big party for his birthday this year. He is now 43 years young and, well, the same as ever. We invited his coworkers and bowling mates and their families. He was so excited! Luke, Dad, and myself took turns being lifeguards while the pool was overrun by happy kids and friends. Our pastor came with his family for a bit, which made Mikey's day. It was a wonderful afternoon and everyone is planning for another great birthday bash next year!
