We've Had Spencer for a Decade on Monday

I am posting a big Happy Birthday to Spencer again just in case he missed it yesterday and doesn't want to scroll down through all the other posts I have been doing. The reason... the time difference between here and Italy and he is going to Germany and Austria with his family for his birthday and a little family holiday. They will be gone for two weeks and will be going to Lego Land in Germany! Spencer is very excited about that.

So......Heeeerrrrre's Spencer!
Happy Birthday!

Such a grown up handsome guy!

This is the cake his mom made him
for his friends Birthday Party.
It is nice to see the soldiers
defending our freedom!
Those who cannot stand behind them are
welcome to stand in front of them!

The Tuscan GQ Look!
