25 YEARS AGO.....David Paul Molitor came into the world! It was March 13, 1985. And the world has been a better place ever since!By the following pictures you will see why every day was blessed by this cutest of kids! David was a very content and easy going baby! Here he is at 5 months old.
8 months old......
14 months old...
And 27 months...As you can see, he grew a "little" more mischievous as he grew!
Some birthdays to remember...Here David is 11 years old.
And here he is 12!
And here is David at age 14 when Chris gave him a fixed-up computer, and Ben gave him the short shorts! See David trying to hide his legs and not make his friend feel too embarrassed about it?
David's name Means "Beloved", and he certainly has always been a very beloved son and brother. Here is David with Papa when he was 6 years old.
And taking care of his little sister Esther when he was 6 (Esther was a few months old here)
And when he was 7 (Esther was 14 months old here). David was helping Mom brush little sister's teeth.
Here are David and John when David was 8 years old and John was 5. Those 2 had many fun years doing boy stuff together! (1993)
David and his pet Guinea pig, Guinny. David is 8 years old here (when he got Guinny, our family's 1st guinea pig).
Guinny lived 8 or 9 years! And she had many, many darling babies, and we all loved Guinny. Here is David when he was almost 9 with Guinny's first baby.
David the Royal Ranger! (1996 at age 11)
David after one very bad fall. I think this is the time he came home at night after spending the day with the Hales up at their lake place. They had been playing with their parents out in the dark, and David running at full speed, ran into a fence and flipped head over first. David, you can correct me if I'm remembering this wrong.
The beginning of the lucrative sled-making business started by David and John. Here David is 14 years old.

Our family on our last Christmas Day at the house in Lauderdale, taken during David's first semester at the University of Minnesota. (David 18 years old)
David with our bussing kids September 2005 (age 20).
And a few months later when we all visited him and his roommate Luke at the Evan's House at the UofM. Remember that cool wall-covering of post cards Luke put up of all his travels? This was when Ruth first came home from GIAL and Luke met her for the first time. (I also remember David reading a special email from a special someone secretly in the adjoining room while we were there that night!) Look at that beard! 
David the Juggler. Here he is at age 15.
And here he and John are at Summer in the Parks when David was 21 and John was 17.
Here are all the kids when we traveled to Texas for Ruth's graduation the spring that we had 1 graduate from Graduate school (Ruth), one from college (David), and one from High School (John)! (June 2007)
Then came Kelsea!.......Here is a picture of the summer David met Kelsea at CEF camp in Wisconsin, and it changed his life forever! (June 2004)
The early morning of the famous bike ride (August 2005).
Kelsea's 21st birthday, when our whole family went to Ashland and spent a wonderful birthday with Kelsea's family! (July 2006)
And a very fun New Year's Eve play in the snow with both the Molitors and the Colgroves. A very memorable time indeed! (Dec. 31, 2006)
The next New Year's Eve (2007) David proposed to the love of his life, and she accepted! Our whole family very joyfully welcomed Kelsea into our family on August 9, 2008. And we are all so very grateful that it isn't just David anymore....but David and Kelsea!
