Seventeen years ago today our seventeen year old, Michael came into this world, shaking things up . I knew that he would go far in karate when he used to punch and kick, from the womb , so hard that my muscles clamped down around his foot and arm and refused to release without the doctors help. Though you would never know it now, Michael was a born Mommy's boy. It was his refusal to stay with anyone else that prompted and clinched my destiny as a stay at home Mom. Yes Michael has been everything but your typical kid but we wouldn't have it any other way ! Happy Birthday Michael...... We love you !!!!!!
Here are a few pictures of tonight's not so orthodox celebration with ice cream cake.

I light the one candle that did not get broken when the pack was shoved into an overflowing drawer
