J's B-day

APRIL 2014

My main squeeze had a birthday this month.  April 1st to be exact.  This poor guy was in the midst of studying for his big Professional Engineering Test when his day came around, so he wasn't in the mood to really celebrate, but he humored the rest of us.  

We got a babysitter and went to have a quick dinner out in Motta.  We made it back in time to have brownies and ice cream with the kids before they had to got to bed (school night and all).  


35 years young!  Rounding up to 40 now.....yeesh.  



Just to prove this handsome man is still young at heart, he got a Ripstick for his birthday.  He was always playing with the ones the neighbor's have, so I got one of his very own.

Just I love this picture.  In this one shot, you see so many things about our lives right now.  Lucy....always posing and trying to be older than she really is.  She has greasy, swimmer hair because she was in the middle of swim clinics and doesn't like to shower at night.  Graham....the clown, always looking for a laugh.  Benny...the eternal cheeser in his Spider Man pajamas.  The ripstick....Jason still loves to "play".  The nearly empty bottle.....Sullivan was here, but now is in bed.  All in our tiny, cramped, full of fun, Italian kitchen.

He's finally done with his test.  We won't know the results for another 2 months, but at least for now, he and I can relax.  He studied from the middle of January to April 11th.  He stayed at work until 10 or 11 Monday-Thursday and then put in a few hours every Saturday.  We are sooo relieved it's over.

Happy Birthday to the best husband and Dad around.  I sure love that man of mine.  I'm so proud of him and I'm so grateful he's mine forever.

Happy birthday Jason! Question: I saw a frozen pizza box in one of the pictures, do you really eat frozen pizza from a box in ITALY?! :)
