Twenty-nine Years of Richard Hawkins

So today, Richard turned twenty-nine.  I was thinking about what a blessing that he came into our family!  I remember when I was scrapbooking all the pictures for their wedding that I felt as if I already knew him.  Working with those pictures gave me a small sense of being part of his family, and experiencing his growing up time.  I suppose it's kind of like when you read a story, and live, vicariously through the adventures of the protagonist.

Anyway, I hope Richard and Betsey have a wonderful day, celebrating in their little family.  I hope the Birthday Bird was able to find Richard in Cleveland.  Doughnuts,anyone?

So, Richard, Happy Birthday, and here's to many more!  Love, from Ed and Claudia
