    Oh my goodness Patricia - what beautiful looking boys! I know beautiful isn't usually the term we use for boys {well I do for my 2 young ones but by 18 I'm not sure they will like it much!!} but they are so I'm using it! You must be so proud!

    I love it! Happy birthday boys. And congrats to you and the hubby. I can't believe these are the same babies you carried into the office all those years ago.
    Like I told you now I'm feeling old for sure.

    But you are very blessed. They are so wonderful. Happy 18th.
