Happy Birthday, Amy

As far as I'm concerned, if they end in a zero or five, they're BIG. So, CONGRATULATIONS, Amy, on a BIG ONE:

35 SMACKEROOS


Amy's birthday is today but yesterday was when we all were together, at Nicholas' soccer game. Dennis had just flown into Atlanta on Friday.


And yes, even Mark was there again, in the wings of Dennis' hearty laugh.


With every passing week, that BLB (Big Little Boy) seems to understand a bit more about soccer!








He even got to throw in and managed to barely keep both feet on the ground...at least once.


He is definitely his mommy's boy!








And since it was his daddy's weekend to have him, we all shared a few minutes of love together, watching as Nicholas gave Mommy his present.

Celebrations like this are good for the soul. Memories to last a long time. We all feel so incredibly fortunate to have you in our life, Miss Amykins. Blessed was the day when you were born all those 35 years ago!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, again!

  16. Belated Happy Birthday to Amy - all the way from Norway! He and even Denni is such a great soccer supporter :-)

    Good to see how lovely Denni is playing football (yea, I know you call it soccer, but what about the rest of the world? LoL)

    Good to see Denni's mom too - they are so cute together!
