Mike

Last Friday, the 15th of December, was Mike's birthday.

Mike is married to our youngest daughter, Sarah, and they live in Louisville, Kentucky.

He is a very important part of this large family

and, of course, a very important part of this beautiful family.

I wrote about Mike for his birthday last year in this post.  Going there will show lots of pictures and tell some things about how Mike's changed over the years so I'll just post a few "how he's changed" pictures here:

And talk about what Mike's been doing for the past year.  First and foremost, he changed jobs.  This job is a great fit for him because he's an amazing manager and a conscientious employee.

Always athletic and healthy, he has continued to stay fit.  Although there hasn't been much time for golf (his go-to sport), he's conscientious about what he eats and keeping up with his exercise.

This year, he coached Mary and Ethan's soccer team and did a great job!  The kids learned a lot and the team did well under his guidance!

Mike has continued to be the loving father and husband he's always been and we're proud of all that he does and the kind of guy that he is!  We consider ourselves very lucky that he's part of our family and we're hoping his birthday was amazing and that the coming year is even better!

So happy birthday a little late, Mike!  We love you and are looking forward to seeing you in just a few days!
