They say it's your birthday... it's my birthday, too yeah

I will use this post to pay tribute to my darling (emphasis for sarcasm)  brothers.. born March 11th--Reed.. and Drew--March 12th
Happy Birthday! Because your birthdays were so close together, I used to get presents too so I wouldn't be left out. I think we should bring that concept back.

I did not get to post my tribute to Reed yesterday due to technical issues that have now been resolved! The joy of a belated tribute is that the celebration goes beyond one day... that is why I rarely send gifts and cards on time. Good philosophy, no?

First, I will begin with my favorite picture ever of Reed. This is him at 3-and-a-half years old inspired by Ben Kingsley in Gandhi. He's taking a sacred vow.

I keep the Reed picture in our side table drawer in the family room so from time to time I can get it out and be amused. It is so flippin' cute.

Reed--if you read this--I hope you know how glad I am that you returned Louisville. You have excellent taste in music and are an all-around-great guy! (Even though when you were born I wished you were a girl.) You have a lot of exciting things coming up.. and it will be a great last year of your twenties :)

Drew can be thankful I don't have any embarrassing pictures of him to post.  Just this cute one of him and adorable Blake!

Drew--Happy Birthday! As I already told you, you are an old man now--Blake's old man! :)

He's lucky to have you. I can't wait for you guys to visit.. it's not too far down I-65! So much to look forward in this year, too. It's going to be a good one.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!  A TOAST TO YOU....

As our mother** once said in bar, "Here's to those that wish us well and those who don't can go to hell!"




**Yes, it happened Audrey was in a bar. I believe it was a Delta Chi parents weekend. I know. We were all shocked.

Remember... the llama always watching.
