Maximus

If you haven't noticed, special days in our family are all clumped together. This week we celebrate Mr. Max's birthday just after Michaels. Number four for the big guy. He is growing up so fast.

He is in a unique position in his family. Son number one and only placed right smack dab in the middle of four sisters--two older and two younger. His sisters all have royal names like Victoria, Alexandra, Katerina and Isabella. Not wanting Max to be left out but with his father determined that he was to be named Max they settled on Maximus--after the gladiator!!

His favorite color is green, though occasionally he tolerates some blue as well (he is broadening his horizons with that new choice). He is particular how is cute blond hair is combed, though truth be told, with his short cut it is hard to mess it up.

I am really excited because we get to go see him next week. Now we made a goal a few years back to do our best to visit our children and grandchildren close to their birthday's. Unfortunately it has gotten harder to do as our children move farther away. This trip will take us 24 hours--traveling by jet. So he is the lucky one in his family this year, and so it should be for the kid in the middle surrounded by all those women.

Happy Birthday Max--I love you
