Happy Birthday, Art!

Happy Birthday to my most wonderful husband who is busy right now with another project I thought of. My sister-in-law was just teasing me about the trials I've put Art through whenever I've come up with an idea.

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!

    Kay, have you noticed that your son-in-law's face is the biggest in the photo, despite being in the back row? Awesome!

  5. What an amazing and beautiful life so far! I hope he has a wonderful birthday today, and many many more.

    And 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!

  7. Gigi: 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.

    Dina: 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.

  22. Then 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.
