Oh My Gosh, He's FOURTEEN!!!

Well, Timo is 14. I have a hard time believing it. We tease him that when he was born, he came out screaming mad, and that was that.ha! He had a great day, though. Big Dad surprised him by arranging for him to be picked up from school and have lunch at Chili's, then treated him to a movie in Gold Class (eat your heart out, Kaysha and Kay!). That was fun because I just told him, "Go to the gate and get in the taxi waiting for you." So he did. It took him to the mall where he met up with Big Dad. Too fun. Then, BD made a big, double decker chocolate cake for him, with fudge frosting. It will be SO tasty. Tomorrow is when we all are going to go let him pick out his gifts. It's better on a Friday, and we want Christopher here, too. He's at a swim meet in Taipei and won't be back until this evening.

SO....Timo, you're loved, buddy. We are so glad to have you around, when you are around! You're a great guy, a young man of character. You're caring, giving, and hard working. That is a combination that will take you anywhere! Love you!

Mom, Dad, Em, Christopher and San
