Things wordy, geeky, and webbyLinks: Happy 11th Birthday 2010 Edition
Friday, January 22nd, 2010 at 9:59 AM |
Sunday is my middle child’s 11th birthday. The biggest of my three babies, he weighed 9lb, 1oz and measured 21 inches long when he made his arrival one Sunday morning. This big guy (he’s the older of two boys) loves sports cars with his favorites being the Lamborghini, Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Aston Martin and Saleen.

Congratulations on being named an SOB! I just saw the announcement over at Liz Strauss’s blog.
Lillie Ammann’s blog …Another Year, Another Million and a Half Dead Babies
I love The Blind Side, but only after I saw the movie or I never know there’s a motivating story to be told. It was by far one of the finest success stories told in 2009, what amazing is that it’s not only about how Oher overcame the obstacles in life but how kindness is shared in a most unlikely way.
Happy belated birthday to your child. Hope he’ll have a blessed year ahead.
