February 2016: Smiles

• In February we celebrated Klein's 14th birthday.  He chose his current favorite meal - Jeremy's version of Mr. B's BBQ shrimp.  I don't think anyone was sad about his choice.  The only downside is that we had to eat in shifts instead of all together.  I'm pretty sure the birthday boy and his brothers found it to be a worthy sacrifice.  
• Lesson learned this month:  
• It's okay to smile on your 14th birthday.  
• Hunting and fishing with friends make your heart smile.
• Pretending to be asleep so your dad won't make you move to your own bed is a risky maneuver but one worth trying.  You just never know when it might work in your favor.  When it does, a sneaky "asleep" smile appears on your face.
• Cancer and surgeries aren't fun, but you can always find a reason to smile.
