Today our oldest child turns 28! David has been a great son. From the time he was born, he was in a hurry to get on with life. He was actually not very happy as a baby until he could walk and talk. Of course, part of the problem might have been how clueless we were. Your first child breaks you into a lot of things. Despite our ineptitude, David has turned out well.
David is a great husband:
He has been a thoughtful older brother to his 8 younger siblings:
He enjoys high adventure such as rock-climbing and biking:
He is a conscientious father:

| The amazing picture his balloon took. |

| Over Christmas, he put together an aluminum foundry--a project he saw on YouTube I think. |
David was a diligent missionary and continues to do a lot of service in his ward:

| With a favorite companion when he served in Hamburg. |
He continues to be a good father and husband working hard to support his family:
We love David and are so thankful that he was born into our family.
