 <\/p>\n
it was 20 years ago today… ! Today is Max’s 20th birthday.. unbelievable !. My first kid is a grown-up.. and a really, really good one at that. He’s such a an amazing person.
I spent the day thinking about that day 20 years ago when we became parents for the first time..it was one of the happiest days of my life. I remember it was fathers day.. and one of the hottest days of the year. Diane had a 36 hour labor then we were holding this guy in our arms.. He can lift me as easily as I can lift him now. <\/p>\n

We all came together this afternoon to do the birthday thing. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

We put max on the birthday ‘throne’.. ie\/ the big wooden box that serves as our table.. and he opened presents.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Satori wanted a piece of the action too !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

My folks found Max the most amazing toaster for his apartment. Is that not amazing ? <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Max wanted Chinese take out from Silver Palace.. so Diane and I hopped in the car and went and picked it up.. On the way home, Diane snapped this picture of the sunset in our rearview mirror<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

There were about 6 or so friends over when we got back.. so we all dug in to the birthday meal.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It was Gabe’s last day of school which the girls celibrated by painting the boys nails. good color on him.. no ?<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Then it was time for cake.. 20 candels.. one whole package !.. Now there’s a milestone !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Out in one blow ! The Sam candle is still lit .. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The birthday crowd looks on approvingly. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The candles are too tempting.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Out with one snort !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Happy birthday Max.. we love you so much !<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Gnite all. gnite Sam
