Exceptional Day!

Today, 9 April 2011, is an exceptional day.  First of all, it is the Big 44 for No 2 Son, Big S!  And I can't believe that my "Baby" is that grown up!  Where on earth did the time go?  It can't have been that long since we celebrated BD #1, although he preferred to decorate himself with that cake rather than to eat it.

From greeting baby donkeys in Morocco with Proud Mom and Big Bro ...

to being a "cowboy" in a little town in Montana - even though those boots were WAY too big. 

From helping to celebrate at Big Bro's bachelor dinner in a Moroccan restaurant, under the watchful eye of niece, Princess C - much younger herself in those days -

to posing with Big Bro and Proud Mom after the wedding ceremony.

From celebrating with Sweet Momma M on the day that Princess Butterfly first entered this world

to teaching the Butterfly how to swim ...

and all about horses.

Happy Birthday, Big S, from your Proud Mom!
