Happy Birthday to Christopher

Yesterday, July 2, was my wonderful son Christopher's birthday. Having painted like
fury for days, I was painting until way too late in the morning today to
prepare for a drop off of 7 paintings this morning at 9 a.m. 
We called Christopher, and sang Happy Birthday (our dog Sally always joins
in), and we had cards and gifts ready, but our schedules didn't
permit getting together. And we missed him.  But soon we will get 
together and celebrate.

Steven and I thought about Christopher all day. His birthday was
a wonderful life changing day for us! We became a family that day, and
we are so grateful to Christopher for all of the joy he's brought into
our lives. I wish Christopher and Megan, his beautiful wife -- one
of the kindest people I know -- a fabulous year.

The painting today is of Christopher and Megan. I
painted it using a Skype image I took on my computer when
Christopher 
and Megan were teaching in Korea.  

Have a loving your life day.
