40 years

To put things in perspective...

If John were born just after the Israelites crossed the dry sea bed, he would have stopped wandering in the wilderness just a few days ago.

Yep...he's got 4 decades under his belt.

I wanted to pull off a surprise party for him but the perverbial cat was let out of the bag just days before.  I actually felt much more relaxed not trying to hide things.  Plus, we had a large snowstorm and I had to enlist his help in getting the driveway and sidewalks cleaned off.  So much fun for him to snowblow and shovel all day!  I had invited all of our family and a few friends.  I served cookies, carrot cake, and an ice cream sundae bar. 

Happy Birthday John!
