We have a celebration in our family this weekend. It is time to hang the birthday banner and blow up balloons. We are celebrating our bonus son, Chris. This fine young gentleman walked into our life about 10 years ago and stayed! We could not be happier. Chris is an exceptional listener, has an abundance of patience, carries himself with quiet strength and is the first to rise and attack the dishes after a meal. He is handy and his help around our home on projects is wonderful. And above all he adores our daughter and is a pillar of strength in their marriage.

This image from our last day in Paris is at Luxembourg Gardens. Chris added such joy that day by seizing the moment and celebrating his inner child by renting a boat.

Happy Birthday Christopher Cosenza. We love you!

Peace.
