Baby Brothers and Birthdays






Today my baby brother turns 16. WOW. Yesterday he passed his driving test. I told him not to die. I guess being 30 and having two kids has turned me into an over-worrying mother type that is sure all teenagers are either going to kill themselves or get lucky enough to survive.

He's old enough to date. Whaaaaaa? See, there is no question Sammo is all grown up into a handsome, smart, funny, creative, athletic, young adult. Still, I am stuck in a time warp. Because every time I see a heart melting moment like this.....

Or MAYBE... I can stretch it to this (since he can still fit in my lap...)

Happy Birthday Baby Brother....
You'll always look like THIS to me...

 
But I'm glad you've grown up to be the best UNCOW SAMMMMM!!! in the whole world.
 I love you!!
