Happy Birthday, Kenneth!

трей і я

My oldest son Kenneth will turn 18 this week. It is hard for me to believe he is a grown man already. It seems like five years ago he was a little guy running around and climbing on everything. When he was less than a year old, він міг висіти з тарілочки та збирати свої іграшки
