I&#8217;m so happy that Max decided to come up to Vermont for his birthday.\u00a0\u00a0 He is such a great man-kid.\u00a0 I just love talking with him. He has one of the most creative and active minds of anyone I&#8217;ve ever met. and he&#8217;s such a warm and loving guy.. (see proof below) ..A bunch of his friends came by the house around 5.. and many are still here at 12:30 as I write.. It&#8217;s nice to have the noise and music in the house. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun1710\/jun1710007.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Max and friends fired up the pizza oven that Max and Diane built and they grilled and cooked pizza for everybody. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun1710\/jun1710003.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun1710\/jun1710006.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Around 7 Diane and I took off for MMU to see the Senior &#8216;Superlative&#8217; night.. You know, the event where they name &#8216;most likely to succeed&#8217;, &#8216;most popular&#8217;. etc..<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun1710\/jun1710008.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\"> It was a really cute event.. a couple of our friends got recognized<\/p>\n<p>for stuff.. Nate and Caroline for best musicians, owen for must likely<\/p>\n<p>to succeed, kevin ands most spirit, morgan as half of a &#8216;twin&#8217; look alike .. Ryan for best<\/p>\n<p>snowboard bum (and then he back flipped off the stage and stuck it<\/p>\n<p>perfectly !), etc..<\/p>\n<p>Near the end, they announced the award for the &#8216;best smile&#8217; They gave it to Sam !\u00a0 The whole place stood up as we went down to get the award. It was so sweet.. and so sad.<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun1710\/jun1710035.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun1710\/jun1710037.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Friend Caitlyn made a great slideshow that hilighted the whole class.. The closing slides were pictures of Sam\u00a0 . It means very much to us that the whole place keeps sam in their hearts like they do.. it means so, so much .. <\/p>\n<p>From that bitter sweet.. (more sweet I have to say) event, we drove back to the mild mayhem of a cohn mariano party brewing at the house. lout music yummy food, lots of music and of course fire <\/p>\n<p>Gabe had made it home while we were up at MMU.. so we gave them both their college savings pplans.. a lottery ticket each.. in the hopes that they could actually afford to finish college. \n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun1710\/jun1710040.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Later in the evening, we served the vegan anatomically shaped (don&#8217;t ask) cake that Jack had made for Max.. And we all ang a particularly wonderfully atonal version of happy birthday <\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun1710\/jun1710046.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun1710\/jun1710048.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">We eneded our day with a tequilla toast as my father always does with me.. <\/p>\n<p>Happy birthday Max.. you are fine , fine man..
