Birthday Boy
Today is Chris's Birthday. Most people feel bad when they hear this, assuming that he would get gypped growing up because his Birthday is so close to Christmas, but he would tell you the opposite. His family always made it a point to make his birthday, separate and special in its own right.
And speaking of special this birthday is a milestone. Chris turns 40. Forty. I still can't believe it. As you know, I turned 40 in August. Now it is his turn. He never lets me forget that I am the *older* woman.
Happy Birthday, Hunny! I hope you have a wonderful year ahead.
Photo: One of my favorite shots of Chris. I like to call it Pensive in Positano.

Best wishes to Chris on his very special birthday!!! (December 30th is also the birthday of my future daughter-in-law, as well as my dearest cousin, who is like a 3rd sister to me.) I hope Maddie gave Chris some extra wet doggy kisses to celebrate this milestone.
