Happy Birthday Magel!

My, now 25 year old brother, Michael has told me that I am the only person who still calls him Magel (sounds like bagel). That is my favorite nickname from when he was a baby. The others are Miguel, Wabado and Mr. Wabs, all of which were given to him by our silly sister Valerie.

I can't believe Michael is 25, married and has a baby on the way. I thought I was only 25, so I wonder how old that makes me?

Anyhow, Happy Birthday Michael...do you even read my blog? (I don't think he does) I am excited to see you at Christmas and go to your sealing in the temple. I just wish I would be in town long enough to see my new nephew...maybe he'll come a few weeks early for me.

You may think this is a strange picture to post of Michael on his birthday but I love it. Valerie, Kristen and Alyssa (in Chicago 2 years ago) are all laughing and partying and Michael is being Grandpa King, or GK as we called him, in the background. I can tell by the look on his face that he was probably muttering something under his breath about the rest of us clowns, or "jerks" as GK would have called us.

Thanks for keeping GK's cynicism alive and well for us Michael.
