ReplyDeleteAww! Happy birthday, Alex. Such a great collection childhood photos. Thanks for sharing, Joanna.

ReplyDeleteHe looks like JFK Jr. in the 7th one down! (to me that would be the best compliment ever!)
ReplyDeletehappy happy birthday to Alex! I hope you guys are all three having a blast celebrating!! cutest family ever!
CONGRATULATIONS.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great collection of photos. I love the one of him posing on the beach and then the one of him and his buddies (the look on his friends face who is hugging him is hysterical).
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask about Toby's onesie too!!
You've got a really sweet family, Joanna!! Happy Birthday to Alex!
adorable indeed!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Alex! I love the picture in the punt! Am I right in thinking that Alex is paddling down the River Cam while visiting my very own school, Cambridge University in England?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words and birthday greetings, everybody! This post really brought back memories, and touched my heart. Funny that a couple of you mentioned the Travolta thing: I got that a couple of times when I was a waiter. I was psyched. I always wanted to be Italian. (Not going to complain about JFK Jr., either--thanks Katie). And yes,
ReplyDeleteChloe that's me punting down the Cam when I was 10. I spent most of the day trying to deal with a punt, but I guess at that moment we were losing control of the boat, so I pulled out the paddle:)
Alex kinda reminds me of Sergei Grinkov in the mug photo. The Warwick one too. (And that's a compliment; I used to love watching Gordeeva & Grinkov skate!)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Alex! Love that he ended up with you and Toby! You guys are so cute together. Many, many more years ahead of you and many, more birthday's filled with love and happiness.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so adorable. Happy birthday, Alex!
ReplyDeleteadorable is right!!
ReplyDeletethose are some stellar pictures of your Husband, They will be pretty epic for Toby to look back on when he's a teenager! ; )
hope you guys have a great celebration!!

ReplyDeleteOh, what a fantastic tribute to your Alex. Such a handsome devil, too... like a refined Ben Folds (I don't think Ben Folds even has a beard, but still... I think it's more his happy eyes and adorable smile that marks the likeness.)
