Happy B-day #1 Son. And the baby is adorable!
I'm just so glad I didn't sell him to the gypsies when he was three years old and drew on his bedroom wall with a stick of margarine and painted the end of his bed with a bottle of Wite-Out. :grin: I suppose that was his artistic flair revealing itself at an early age.

Ok, I had run to the bedroom because, of course, that's where I left the tissues. While I was looking at the pictures, all I could hear in my mind was the song "Sunrise, Sunset." I danced to that song at my son's wedding. Gotta go...ran out of tissues.
And Happy "Birth" day to you PM!
Happy Birthday to your #1 son, PM! And I love the picture of him holding his baby girl. Isn't it wonderful how life comes full circle?
