Blake

It's been 19 wonderful years since Blake lit our house up with his ever-ready humor and tender heart. We're sad to be on the road today while he's at home, but we've all been thinking about him all day!

Blake was born two weeks late, and didn't have a name for the first five days of his life! When he finally got his name, us kids ran around the house chanting,
"Goodness sake his name is Blake, doesn't that just take the cake?"

Blake was lively and entertaining from the minute he was born.

We used to tease that Blake needed to live in a helmet because he was so fearless he was constantly getting hurt.

One of Luke and Blake's favorite things to do was to style their hair after bathtime. This day's style was mohawks!

At the zoo...look at how long that tongue is!

A test of strength

Happy birthday, Blake!
We love you!
