Happy Birthday Alex...BIG 10 !!!!
Happy Birthday to my double digit baby boy. 10 years ago tonight,at 5:19pm, my world was changed for the better with the screaming arrival of Alexander Stuart Whelan.
This handsome, dark eyed little boy is a dream come true for his parents and, at
times, Elizabeth kind of likes him too.
Since I have a mid-term exam tonight I won't be able to celebrate his monumental
asencion into the world of pre-teenager-hood. We did however sing Happy Birthday right after school and he opened his presents. I also bought him Alaskan Snow Crab legs for his dinner. Anyone who knows this child, knows that his culinary taste are on the upscale side. For dessert, a rich and delicious Boston Cream Cake. Yummy!!
Well, Richard just took the kids to grandmoms house for yet another birthday gift, so
I will say good bye and head off to school.But before I go I just wanted to let you know that this photo was just taken about 30 minutes ago. Hows that for being prompt in blogging? Happy Birthday Alex, We all love you!

10 year olds and almost 12 year olds.... Susan, what were we thinking all those years ago? We must have been insane.
Crazy or not, We wouldn't give up those kiddies for the world!
Good luck on your exam! Break a leg!
We were thinking about how great we looked pushing our baby carriages in the mall. We were showing off how beautiful and well
behaved our babies and toddlers were.(Remember Sarah taking a solo walk at the mall)? We were eating salad and pasta at "California Pizza Kitchen" while the babies slept and we chit chatted about how wonderful our lives were and what great and exciting lives our children were gonna have. We were talking about how I was gonna go back to work and you were gonna babysit Elizabeth. OOPS and then Sam sprung on us that fabulous job opportunity in San Diego. Mean Sam. Just joking, the beautiful thing is that even though we live thousands of miles away and rarely see each other, we have remained great friends. If ever there was a time, and there have been a few, when I needed a shoulder to cry on, my dear friend Krista was there.
I love ya my 40 year old girlfriend. And we do have great kids.
Ah shucks, Susan. You flatter me.
I hope we can sit down one day over a cup of coffee and say how wonderful our teenagers are, though the way things are going in our house these days, I am bracing myself for a tumultuous few years!! The "Terrible Twos" don't look so bad now, do they? At least I could walk away from the tantrum!
And Elizabeth looks so grown up with her new hair cut. She really looks like her mama!
