Happy Birthday, Julie and Toby!

Do you suppose that with the time difference it's still Sunday in Seattle? If so, then I'd be right on time in wishing a happy birthday to Matt's sister, Julie, and her son, Toby! (I guess I'm late, huh?)

Twelve years ago, Julie gave birth to Toby on her birthday, which, I think, would pretty much set you up forever in the presents department. Toby is a fun and cool twelve-year-old, whom our kids are a little awed by. Among his many talents, he actually takes fencing lessons, which sort of awes me, too! His mom is a fun and cool person who's older than twelve (and older than Matt by one year). We always look forward to them traveling to visit us in Ohio in the summer and are so thankful that they are faithful to that each year. One other great thing about Julie is that she's the fun aunt who makes birthdays and holidays last a little longer. She sends great presents, even up to a month after the event, which makes them that much more exciting to our kids. So, I guess she won't really mind that this birthday post is a couple days late. There's just that much more love attached!
