Another Day to Celebrate!

It's certainly the time for milestones! Mr. Man just turned 30, and today my daddy turns 50! 50!! I know, crazy!

Here's my dad as a youngin'. When he sees this picture, he says "that wasn't my hat." I think that's the very least to be concerned about.

That just cracks me up. Here's my daddy more recently. (when we were both skinny ... so not THAT recent)

Happy 50th Birthday dad! Love ya.

Progression of Mr. Man

Just one more day until Mr. Man turns the big 3-0. That's right, I said it. THIRTY!!

This is the Mr. Man who I first met a few years ago:

Classy, it's true. In a Brokeback-Mountain-esque denim jacket nonetheless. He pulls it off well.

This is the Mr. Man who emerged. Loves it.

And this is how I know him now. Always. On. The. Stupid. Iphone.

Love him, anyway.

Little Mr. Man

This is some really good stuff. Below is a picture of Mr. Man and his little bro (who now has Piper ... boo!). Again, I don't know how old he is. Looks about 8 to 10. He's adorable, though. And it's funny that in this picture, he looks like the 8-Year-Old Teenager! Never saw it until now...

Only 3 more days until the thirtieth twenty-tenth birthday celebrations!!

Poem Time

So, here's another poem from years ago. This one I wrote about my momma.

her natural beauty shines
and touches those around
she brightens up the morning
and happily greets sundown
her anger isnt wrath
but sympatheticness
for she has learned so much of life-
she always knows whats best
her love is so inviting
and reaches to the low
she picks the weak up from their glum
and helps them, then, to grow
her labor is rewarding
but she looks for no award
she's happy on one's good day
and comforts when one mourns
she's a woman of the Lord
and of moral she is true
she is pure angelic in her heart
and a mother, through and through

Mr. Man and Piper

Continuing with my week-long theme of a tribute to Mr. Man for his thirtieth twenty-tenth bday, here is a short video of my bb and a super-small Piper girl.

PS. I miss her SO much.


PS No2: You may want to take some Dramamine.
