Max is 16

Gosh, this boy is tall -- and sweet and smart and brave and talented and nice and responsible and all the things.

We went to Tony Burgers for dinner. Here's our kissing picture.

And everyone in the booth.

Here's the cake I made for our super star.

JB took the boys golfing. They have each had some community golf lessons this summer and are making it a new passion. So much so, that Max tried out for and made the high school golf team!

This week I took him for his 16 year checkup. He is ALMOST 6 feet flat. We'll probably call it that.

He's close to getting all the hours needed for his driver license. And here's hoping this school year is a good one for him!
