There are 3 very special people that were born on July 12 and they are each worthy of their own individual birthday photo tribute. So I will start from youngest and go to oldest. Here is my photo birthday tribute to Logan:
Elainie graduated a couple weeks back. Here are a couple of pictures from the day. I didn’t take a camera to the Open House for some reason. I clearly now regret that. Next Wednesday’s randomness will feature pictures of Evie.

Happy Birthday to my Mom! If my goal is to be as cool as my Mom when I get to her age, I have my work cut out for me.

Happy Birthday to Elainie! Of course today is also Election Day. I’m not the type that tells people how to think or vote politically. I think everybody knows who I’m supporting.
