Art has always told me that no matter what happens he feels his life has been blessed. He had terrific parents, a loving sister and grew up in the warm embrace of small town Honokaa. He's been able to travel and see places he's wanted to see and he's got a family that keeps him busy. Ummmm...

Here's Art taking his precious daughter, Tiffany down the aisle to pledge her life to her own path.

Art's trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro with our son, Jon was truly a crowning achievement for him although he still puts delivering Jon in the elevator himself as being the highlight of his life. No, it was not my idea!

Art with his beloved K.C.

To the man I love and am grateful for everyday of my life, Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday, Art! You are indeed blessed.
ReplyDeleteKay, have you noticed that your son-in-law's face is the biggest in the photo, despite being in the back row? Awesome!
Birthday greetings, dear Art. You are a blessing to all who know you.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful new year of life!
What a wonderful post and oh so beautiful photographs. Happy Birthday Art!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ART....Kay you both are lucky to have each other...Tiffany is so so pretty ..and so is your family..my best wishes always...have a great b'day blast.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing and beautiful life so far! I hope he has a wonderful birthday today, and many many more.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, elevator? No wonder Jon has a sense of adventure; what an entrance. Tif was glorious on her wedding day--that's such a lovely photo of her with her Dad.
I was tired and cranky signing on a few minutes ago, but now I've got the biggest grin on my face. I guess happiness is contagious! Thanks Kay!
A very Happy Birthday to Art! So enjoyed the wonderful photos, a very proud dad for sure and certainly a very adventurous one! Now what project will Art be working on??
ReplyDeleteGigi: How funny that you would notice. K.C.'s head was always on the 98th percentile in size while the rest of her was 50%. Her pediatrician said it was because she was half Korean. I thought he was kidding but he said it was true and that it gave her more capacity for brains.
ReplyDeleteDina: Thank you, Dina! I'll pass it on.
Denise: Thanks, Denise.
Kavita: Tiffany really did make a beautiful bride.
Susan: Jon does have his ups and downs.
Cheryl: I'll take photos of this next project when he gets done with it and I'll post it.
What a lovely post and tribute to Art, wishing him a very happy birthday and all the best for the future.

Sujata: It's definitely true. I've even written a post about it a while back.
ReplyDeleteThen again, did I not write a post about Jon's birth in the elevator? Hmmm... I've looked through my blog and can't find the story. Good grief! My memory is so bad. I guess this will have to be another post.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ART!! :)
