That was Christopher’s greeting to me this morning (Lori had prepped him). The greeting I got from Cassandra was a little diddy that goes like this:

“Happy Birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. You look like a monkey. And you smell like one too”

Ahh kids. :D

happy birthday, old man. what a great day to celebrate you. i’ll give you a quick birthday affirmation.

mark, you are a true man. a father who cares greatly for his kids, a husband who loves his wife and a friend who can be counted on through high and low times.

lori is a blessed gal. chistopher and cassandra are blessed kids. and aaron is a blessed guy. may you continue to be the amazing blessing that you are to them over this next year.

this small section of the internet, and the lives it has touched, is much richer because of your presence.

happy birthday.

Happy belated birthday!!

I came across you completely by accident. I periodically check Blogshares and today someone actually bought shares in my blog. Curious I was, so I checked the profile. I found that this person had bought shares in a number of blogs that had some sort of tie to running. So, here I am.

I’ll check back soon. You have information that will be useful for me!!

Cheers!
Shelly

So when your daughter thinks you normally smell like a monkey, how do you smell after a workout;) Happy Bert-day
