HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!! How does it feel to be 17? Ahhh, the sweet memories of 17. I just hope that today is as fun as the day you were born, since you remember being born and all....
This picture is an artistic representation of you, giddy at your birthday cake, with me and Nate looking on like proud older-siblings. So beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes. I think the artist caught the moment beautifully:

So, if you check out Melissa's blog, she wrote one especially for me (http://www.ourlittlemaddie.blogspot.com/). Apparantly, I do NOT look like miss Geena Davis. SO THERE, to all my peeps who thought I had posted a picture of myself instead of Geena. Though, Melissa does have the exact same nose as Drew Barrymore (but Drew IS America's sweetheart, not a gangly ape-like creature like Geena) . On a less judgemental note, Melis and I are having pedicure tonight to celebrate her birthday week in style.

Positive Affirmation: David, being 17, is now half an adult and can enjoy such nicities as:
NOT being punched for talking, walking or breathing; no more making him do stupid-human-tricks to ensure his NOT getting punched, and no more making him drink water upside down to stop his "heart attacks".

Lunch: BBQ Cobb Salad, Popcorn and a Diet Coke. All thanks to Melissa who insisted on paying even though it was not my birthday week, but her's. Tisk, tisk...I being the great friend that I am, let her pay.
