Happy 18th birthday to Mike and Nick!  I’m not sure who’s older but I think they’re pretty close in age, separated only by minutes.  In case you haven’t been able to follow the lives of these two guys, they’re in college now and both involved in collegiate athletics.  No surprise there, since Mike and Nick both earned numerous city, regional and state-level awards throughout their high school careers in soccer, track and cross country.

Happy 23rd Anniversary to Dave and Dawn!  Actually, their anniversary is tomorrow.  So, this is a day early, but I have a policy of no blogging on Sundays.  Dave and Dawn are “empty nesters” now.  Wow.  With all that free space in the house, they’ll need to get a few more dogs.  My advice would be to get big slobbery ones that knock stuff over, leave their toys laying around and stay out late.  It’ll make the empty nest an easier adjustment.  We love you guys and hope to see you in MN sometime soon.

I didn’t have any good pictures of Dave and Dawn, but I found a handful of pics from one of Mike and Nick’s soccer games.  They’re here…
