Happy Sweet 16th Birthday Henry!

Henry is in Hilton Head with my parents and his cousins, so I called him this morning and asked him to send me a selfie in his new straw hat, the hat that all the lacrosse players wear. This is what he sent me:



I said, That's too beefcakey. Send me something close-up of your face.

I was going to ask him to take another one, this time of him smiling, but then I decided that would be bugging him, and I don't want to bug my sweet, now-16 year old first son, light of my life, most beautiful child in the universe.


Happy birthday, Henry!

    Happy birthday to beautiful Henry! I love that he answers your selfie requests! My daughter indulges me too, but not ever my son.

    He will bring light to the world. Heck, he already does.
