27.

Happy, Happy Happiest of birthdays to my very own renaissance man-the best husband & the sweetest father!

 

26 was a pretty great year for you

You found out you were having a baby..

Fake camped {since I was too morning-sick for the real deal}

 

Can always find you playing basketball in the driveway at Mom’s house

 

Celebrated a wonderful first year of marriage by taking a trip to Charleston

Graduated from Fire Academy

Spent many summer Sundays eating peaches at the beach

 

picked way too many blueberries to count

 

Had visits at work from yours truly..

Visited  your grandparents

Babymooned in Ohio & Matthews County

 

Met your son..

 

fought lots of fires

had a baby’s first Christmas

  

Took many-a-nap with your boy..

Showed off your artistic side

Enjoyed a snowy afternoon

Received many, many adoring smiles from J.P. You are definitely the favorite around here. 

   

Watched your son be baptized and welcomed into his big, fat, Catholic family

Perfected the manly art of cloth diapering

and made your wife very, very happy on a daily basis

Obviously, James & I are over the moon for you here & can’t wait to celebrate many, many Marcus-y birthdays!
