HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish my son a public "Happy Birthday"! I made his card on time, but this public acknowledgment of how special he is, is a wee bit late (His 36th BD was Feb 6th) due to me not getting on this machine and writing some postings.

Our son is considerate, kind, giving, and loving. He is a gifted husband, father, son, and computer professional. We are extremely proud of him. He was/is our Eagle Scout and lives by the 12 points of the Scout Law that he learned years ago (trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, reverent). I guess the Scripture "Train a child in the way he "should" go and when he is old he will not depart from it" really does bear lasting fruit in children. They need limits and to learn to know GOD, to respect HIS authority and honor and obey HIM and those in authority over them. I believe their opportunities for decision making should be matched to their age and abilities, but they also have to learn that there are times when some decisions are not up for discussion. With GOD, somethings are not up for discussion either. Our two turned out to be very special adults and so we salute them both. Thank you for being such wonderful human "beans"! LOL!

This is the birthday card my son's two daughters colored with a little help from Mamaw (me). I did the stamping and cutting but they did the punching of the corners with the ticket punch and sticking on the pop dots and peeling off the papers and sticking it down. They are getting pretty good with the brush markers, and like unusual colors for things sometimes, which make them all the sweeter. (Their favorite colors are pink and purple, so that is why we picked those mat colors. )
