Six And Zero

Commonly referred to as Sixty Years Old.

The age my Dad hit today.

The same day he jogged 5 miles...and felt great.

The landmark 24 hours during which time we did the next best thing to singing to him in person...

...thanks to good ol' Skype and the advances of video technology!

Not sure who enjoyed what the most?

My Dad watching and hearing the boys sing and blowing out candles on his behalf, eating his strawberries in Asia while the boys enjoyed theirs in our kitchen (after the chocolate brownie of course), or the fact that I suspect he is feeling as great today as he was when he hit his previous decade birthday?! These moments may have been tied with the boys' own enjoyment of their small morsels of chocolate which topped a mound of fresh strawberries...however, blowing out candles is always novel!

We can't wait to celebrate in person in just a few more days!




Happy Birthday Pops!!!

Ahhh...thanks guys! This was my first 'virtual' birthday party (does that mean the additional chronological year was also "virtual"!?). And it was especially great fun to be able to share it with you. Cake, candles, strawberries and all. See you soon!
