So, yesterday was my 40'th birthday. A lot of people asked me if I was having a hard time with it. The truth is... No, I feel incredibly blessed. I have a wonderful family, amazing friends, so many special memories. To be able to spend another year on this earth with all the special people in my life is a gift. To all of you who love me and have shared in my life - Thank you to you all, you mean more to me then words can express.
One of the special people in my life is my friend, Beth. She is the best in so many ways. She is the type of friend who is really more like a sister, the one you would choose if you had a choice. She and her kids, Josiah and Gabrielle, have become a very important part of our family. I know I will write more about all of them but right now it's all about Josiah.
Today is Josiah's birthday. He's 24 today. Josiah is one of the wonderful gifts in my life. My kids adore him and he loves them back. He lets them climb on him, he plays "Guitar Hero" with them, video tapes them at 5th grade graduations and when they are putting on a show he lets them dress him up. He is incredibly gifted, both at music and writing. He is a young man who can go so far in life. So today on his 24th birthday and I ask you all to raise a glass and/or send a prayer for Josiah.
Josiah, May you be as blessed as we have been to know you. May you realize, while you are still young, how gifted you are and how much strength you have in so many ways. You will always be a part of our family and we will always love you!
Chris, Suzanne, Lauren, Isaac & Emilia
You will always be our Josie Pie!

Suzanne, that was the sweetest thing anybody has written about me. Happy Birthday to you too, dear lady. I love you and your delightful family and miss you terribly. Hope to see you all soon!
You will always be 29 in my mind - let's both be 29 together!
I wish you were all closer, it would be so great to spend time with you! I'm going to work on Alec to get us down there!
Much love & kisses!
