Thank you Mom #2...

Today is my fabulous Hubby's b-day.

I would like to thank my mom#2 for giving birth to him.

He was HUGE baby. He was not easy to deliver... or so the story goes.

However the story also says that "Josh was the easiest and best baby ever."

Dear Mom #2,

Thank you so much for giving birth to Josh, raising him, caring for him, and loving him. Thank you for welcoming me into your family 19 years ago as a girlfriend and as a daughter 16 years ago. Thank you for being an awesome Nona to our kids.

You did a fabulous job with your son. He is amazing, loving, kind, compassionate, funny, and the best hubby I could have imagined.

So I celebrate you today as well as Josh.
Happy Birthday.
Love, Suzanne

p.s. I don't believe the "best baby thing"
I think our kids take the cake in that category... well at least the last few. :)

anyway... for those who care and who don't :)

a photo tribute to my man :) and the awesome dresses of my mom in law!
Happy Birthday Babe!

I am so glad I never did this to my children.
But I am SO glad that Mom #2 did this to hers!
