Happy Birthday Eve, Ash!

It’s somebody’s birthday tomorrow….

Born 27 years ago in a snowstorm in Springfield, Massachusetts – took the doctor an hour half to reach the hospital.

Happy Birthday-eve Ash – love ya to the moon & back kiddo 🙂

Ash’s Christmas decree: pajamas day, all day. Her home, her rules. LOVE LOVE it!

Two years running, celebrated Christmas Day at Ash & Tom’s Westminster home. Chilly 13° on the drive over – beginning to feel a bit like Christmas (♩ ♪ ♫ ♬♭♮ ♯) Ham & all the fixin’s, nothing like family at Christmas – FAAANNNTASTIC!

Merry Christmas from snowy Colorado. Good health, much laughter & blessings.

baby Bro, it’s your Birthday!

Published December 18, 2016

Haven’t been home since being cancer diagnosed last July. AND because I’m not the best with sharing personal information (this comes from a guy who weblogs 10x/month), best response – show up in person. Alleviates some worry: sharing dinner, sharing laughs, worshipping together…and completing another marathon (of course).

December 18^th – celebrated baby Bro’s birthday LIVE & in PERSON.

Game night, [Hallmark] Christmas movies – and birthdays too! FAAAANNNTASTIC!

Unexpectedly my 3-day weekend trip became a 4-day adventure — weather delayed my return flight home. Bright side? Extra half-day with Mom & a crack-of-dawn work-out at my brother’s new gym (not yet open to the public). Sweet!

Mark your calendar, FAMILY. Marathoning OKC next April – short (3 hour) road trip away…hint, hint 🙂
