This is so sweet! We all should remind ourselves of why we love our hubbys - then it just makes us love them more!

O.k. Jenny told me where to go to learn the code for writing a link and I tried several times on her comment page, but I figured that I should give her a break since I couldn't get it right, so now I'm gonna try on your page. Try this.

Happy birthday, Lance! May you realize how lucky you are to have such a loving wife and successful marriage. Ethan is the proof of that. I hope you both have a great day and best wishes for many more birthdays!

Hi! I found your blog through my sister-in-law's (Courtney - I am Michael's sister). I felt inclined to comment because 1-Michael's birthday is today, too - happy birthday to your husband! - and 2-I love your resturant list (we live in Berry Hill so we frequent all of them often). I was wondering if you would be at liberty to share the lite ranch recipe from Baja? I looooove their ranch...sorry for the long post!

What a terrific birthday gift! I have been meaning to check on whether he was still opening your door. I have loved that little boy for over 35 years; thank you so much for making him so happy!
