Cheers

This guy

is the birthday boy today

so we are busy celebrating:

pulled pork sandwiches, blueberry pie, presents, and snow tubing.

He's a gem. And I'm a lucky girl.

. . .

1. love the paisley shirt, the swiped over bangs, and the freckles.

2. volunteering to help teach middle schoolers mock trial and negotiation skills 

3. more tributes and lovey-doveyness here and here

4. on an unrelated note, Letters to a Parent is slowly but surely blossoming again. New post there...click on over if you'd like. You can also click to subscribe to LTAP posts via email.  Fancy!

Sweet fancy moses, does Sam look like his daddy or what???? It's like they are twins, separated at birth.

Happy birthday, G. You're one of the good ones!

Oh my goodness I thought you were going to say it was your son's birthday and show an updated pic of him - was I ever surprised to see it was your hubby! They are twins!!

I know, isn't it awesome? Sam and G are carbon copies in many ways. It makes me smile.

And Christie "sweet fancy Moses" is officially my new catchphrase. :)

I thought you had dressed Sam up for some kind of 70's themed party or something! It's amazing how alike they look. Happy Birthday to your hubby. Hope he has a great birthday. Enjoy the tubing and the blueberry pie.

That shirt is sweet, and he does look like your son!

Mock trials, moot court, some people were made for them, I get all uncomfortable and sweaty. Good thing there are people who like to do that stuff.
