Happy Birthday Blair.

Blair is older today...and most importantly, older than me.

Although I am all for cheesy speeches about loved ones; it is not really Blair's style. So, in his honor, a few interesting facts that make him pretty cool.

*Blair religiously wears his Notre Dame tie to church. On purpose. Just to make people wonder.

On that same note, he makes a point of mowing our lawn on Sunday at least once a year; and I quote, "Just to make sure people are sure I am not running for any sort of office." Interestingly enough, he is very learned about religion and knows way, way, more than me. He knows it because he wants to, not because he has to.

*I am pretty sure I have gotten a present for each of his birthdays. He knows it is very sacrificial for me to go shopping without buying something for me, and he lets me, and is happy about it. We even went to Mexican food for his birthday dinner, and he knows that is my favorite.

*Blair is extremely protective, and will always, no matter what, have my back. Period. It is sometimes a problem for him because he has a hard time listening to others' perspectives, when he feels I or the kids have been wronged in some way - but I would rather he err on our side :) I always feel safe when he's around.

*Blair wears his Chromosome 18 blue rubber band bracelet all the time.

*Blair loves to play. He and Abby beat each other up and irritate each other every night - all in the spirit of fun mostly. He loved coaching Drew's team last year, and would be awesome working with kids at anything. They naturally love him.

Sorry Babe. I think this may have turned out cheesier than anticipated. We love you.

Have a Great Day.
