forty two

Since he isn't feeling all recovered yet (nor is Iris who has a stomach bug) we'll stretch the celebration over a couple of days.  Yesterday, planting 42 bulbs with his girl...

...today waking to the birthday poster totally created by his ladies (Mae came up with the theme, Iris free-handed the drawing, I mixed the paint) and a couple of sweet presents...

...and tonight a birthday dinner and the apple crisp he baked himself (yes, I know, it was one of those days.)

Tomorrow we'll get a visit from his mom to top off the celebrations.

We are so blessed by this beautiful man, this amazing papa, this good friend.  We are honored to be by his side as he celebrates his birthday, as he continues to walk this path of healing.

From morning til night and every, every moment in between, we love you so.
