Today is the day that Mr. C came into the world and made lots of people happy. Who couldn’t love a kid with a face like this?

He was an exceptional young man:

Catching fish for the family so they wouldn’t starve:

Digging them out from the blizzard of "52 (notice the stylin’ jacket!):

Always the snappy dresser:

As

a husband, he is a great travel companion:

Super grandpa:

A dog’s best friend:

And mine, too! (This was taken on one of our anniversaries. I had a picnic delivered to the house as a surprise.)

Happy birthday, Mr. C. You are the best thing that ever happened to me, even though I don’t say it enough, always remember this and that I love  you. (Wouldn’t it be grand if we could still fit into those clothes?)
