Happy Birthday Lowell!

Just wanted to wish you a very happy birthday, Lowell! It has been a bit of a rough year over there and I like benchmarks like birthdays to mark new beginnings! Here's hoping all is better for you in the coming year, Lowell. Let's hope Hazel is recovering from these fevers for the last time and that she will begin to adjust to living on this crazy planet. We wish you lots of fun, safe, accident-free hikes, lots of fun on the computer and plenty of vocal opportunities, fun reads and adventures with Piper and Julia, great dates with Jen, wonderful daddy ~ daughter time with Chloe and Hazel, fun with family history and many more enjoyable evenings with great movies, an election that turns out the way you want it (yeahrite, is anyone getting that?) and lots of time with your extended family, and an adventure or two with Jim, lots of good nights of sleep, and time to do whatever you want once in awhile. Let's hope you all find your normal again, that you make a cheese cake or two, go skiing with Leroy, hang out with Adrien and get another fun visit from Paul. Let's see more blogging, we love how you stir the pot, salmon and tri-tip on the BBQ, and just a whole lot of whatever you want. Enjoy your birthday bucks and know we love you!
