Happy Birthday, Thomas!

Today Thomas celebrates his 12th birthday! I still remember the day he was born, back in 1995. Kate and I were at a temple or something helping baby-sit for the kids of the temple while their parents attended services (it was Yom Kippor, I believe - and I don't think I spelled that right!). Anyway, he was born during the day, and we all found out about it when we were done baby-sitting (this was LONG before I had a cell phone).
