Ryan at Fourteen

And, poof! Another year of laughter, fun, baseball and more baseball with Ryan has passed. Suddenly, he's turning 14. And, as his history teacher pointed out -- after 2020, he will be voting in the next presidential election. Wow.

In honor of age 14, I asked Ryan a few "14" related reflections (some silly):

14 Favorite Moments from the Past Year (in no particular order):

1. The one game we won during the Oregon Ducks season!
