Whoa!!!!

Looking at these pictures brings a flood of memories of Justin as a toddler...whoa..and now he is thirty-four!

He was such a busy boy!  He kept Shad and me hopping.   We have so many memories of him loving to play  with all kinds of balls, trucks, running....and laughing!  He tried to do everything that Jeremy did!
They always played so good together.  Maybe I have selective memory but I can't remember them fighting when they were young.

As Justin got older, he played less with trucks and more with balls.  It seemed he always had a ball in his hands and wanted to play a ballgame of any kind...well except baseball.  He didn't like it when Shad had him throw 100 pitches each night.

Then he developed an unbelievable love for the game of basketball and we spent a lot of time together in gyms...literally all over the western United States.  Those are such fun memories and we still enjoy watching videos of those time.
Now he has a wife and family and a pretty stressful job.  We will all be thankful when his pending surgery is over and he is able to return to a more normal life than he has had in quite some time.
We are thankful for the time we are able to spend with Justin's family on the phone...skype...etc.  We feel that we manage to stay close through the miles.  WE LOVE YOU ALL!

WE love you Justin and hope you have a WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY!
