Happy Birthday, Toukie Bear!

Happy Birthday to my precious little Toukie Bear! No matter how old you are, you'll always be my Bear. :) I can't believe that you are 17 years old today. I don't know where the time went. You are everything your father and I dreamed you would be, and then some. :)

From this photo taken on your very first birthday:
To you with your two teethies and Bear Bear...
And during your alone moments,
and when you're accomplishing your goals...

and even with your favorite official Red Ryder, carbine-action 200-shot range model BB rifle with a compass in the stock,
And with that same beloved Bear Bear,
...I have loved you so much that I thought sometimes my heart might burst. You are the most wonderful son a Mom & Dad could ever want.

I hope your birthday is a beautiful one, even if we will spend it driving and driving and driving to your football game tonight. :) I love you!
