Michael does not know what to make of this!! We read the messages and in each case I told him where you were from and something about you. I said, "I bet you're the only kid in your school who gets birthday greetings from all over the country AND all over the world." He's more than a little embarrassed and the Ol' Man here is loving it. I'll print it out and send it to school with him which will add to the "aw gee" factor.

He's a fantastic (bragging Dad) little artist and he wants to decorate his own cake for the party with Connie and Wayne, which I think we'll do at the hospital tomorrow. He's gotten plenty of neat art stuff for his birthday, plus a couple of new Pokemon decks and a new Pokemon card Notebook. AND.....An an Eastern box Turtle (with assorted paraphernalia) named Bessie.

Michael is standing here beside me and he says, "I want to say thank you."...........This really gets him, doesn't know what to make of it!!!

Thanks Mary......We needed this. And thanks to all the rest of you for playing along.....you're great folks!!
