My baby isn't a baby anymore. He turned 14. He has a deep voice and that little mustache that young teen boys get. His feet have outgrown my flip-flops, and he's just a hair shorter than me now. His favorite thing in the world now is still coding new Sparta remixes and writing Yellowbross Animations … Continue reading Happy 14th birthday, Jake!

Happy birthday, Teddy!
