Today is my little brother's 26th birthday...Happy birthday Danno!! I remember when we were this small, playing school together, and me bossing you around:
My parents always called Dan and I "the students" and Ben and Mary (the 2 youngest) "the squats". This started when Dan and I were old enough to be in school, but Ben and Mary were still too young...and it stuck! For years. (I think the term "squats" came from the fact that it looked like Ben and Mary were always squatting because they had such short little legs).
Danno, I love you and am SO glad that we got to celebrate your birthday with you this year! It's been way, way too long! I loved seeing you with your pinata buddy, Pokey, and super excited for your new keyboard!! Out of all the kids, you definitely retained the most from our piano lessons.
Oh, and have I mentioned how proud I am of you lately? Because I am! Look at you in that army "outfit". :)
25 sure treated you well, and I pray that 26 is even better!! Love you brother!
