Happy 12th Birthday Tyler

On first learning the news that we were expecting twins, Cousin Tyler became one of the most excited. Having been the junior member of the Roe family for 10 years, he was ready for some younger cousins. He first got to visit Benji and Davey while staying at the Grand Roe’s Florida home last Christmas. You could almost see him mature overnight into the cool, older, male-cousin role-model. He held each boy with the secure, tender skill of a veteran. Without protest, he graciously accepted that the family’s attention, once focused on him as the youngest, was now directed towards the baby twins. Tyler asked a lot of questions and learned much about his young cousins. Aunt Sandy and Uncle Dave were very happy and proud to see him becoming the fine young man their sons will look up to as an example.
