Happy Birthday Uncle Dave!


Today is my brother Dave's birthday and so I figured I'd just do a little blog about him since it's his special day! There are four of us kids in my family and I'm the oldest at 27, then Sam is 24, Dave is just turning 22 and Anna is 20. I love my brothers and sister so much and we had a blast growing up together....lots and lots of memories and adventures! Now that we're all getting older and spread farther away from home, we don't see each other as often but when we do it's all the more exciting. Dave is an incredibly sensitive, sweet and thoughtful person and is so good at relating to others, especially people that are hurting or in need of a listening ear. This summer Dave is out in Colorado for 10 weeks with Campus Crusade, the Christian group he is involved with at West Chester University where he goes to school, helping out at a camp for inner city kids....right up his ally! Apart from his compassionate side, Dave can also be really funny and has on several occasions made all of us cry from laughing so hard! Mitch loves having Dave (and of course Sam too) as a brother-in-law and they get along great when they spend time together. Dave's also a fantastic uncle to Caleb and Noah and they love when he's home to play with! Happy Birthday Uncle Dave!!!!
