Happy Birthday, Craig!

I can't believe our youngest son turned 29 years old today!  It seems like only yesterday that I was in the hospital for both his birthday and mine.  He was such a good one to end on because he just blended in with the other kids, and they all just loved him to pieces. They all still do!
Now, here he is all grown up with a beautiful wife and darling son of his own.  
We can hardly stand the fact that he is all done with dental school and will be moving to Dallas about the middle of June.  It just doesn't seem fair--we always enjoyed being with them so much, and little Riley is just starting to get so fun.  But we are thrilled for them and their new plans.

These were the "guests" at the party.  George had board meeting, Jeff had school, so they were unable to come and felt so left out!
With all the boxing up and moving they needed to do, we did work in a birthday party at our favorite mid-way point--Sonny's in Starke--surprise, surprise!
This time, we not only had Amy and her kids, but also Kent and Natalie and their children because they had flown out for Craig's graduation.  What a great time we all had together!







Riley looked very happy to be at his daddy's party--too bad he couldn't have cake, too!

I'm so glad you were able to celebrate Craig's birthday with two of your other children!! You and I both know that is rare to have that many in the area as well as the state. We wish him luck in their move and are so proud of his graduation! What a wonderful accomplishment.

I can't believe it either! And I can't get over how much Amy's second looks like Craig did! I'm going to have to try this Sonny's someday... you all seem to really like it! What a fun birthday for Craigy. ;)

Happy birthday to Craig. I can hardly believe that he is 29 either because he grew up after you moved to Florida. We just didn't get to see him that much but he is such a great guy with a beautiful wife and darling baby. What could be better? All this and the gospel, too.
