Happy 60th Birthday, Daddy M!!

It's a hard life.

Especially when you have taught your children the best time to kick someone is when they are already down. :) I am not a nerd for nothing...I learn well. Aren't you proud Daddy?!?

You probably can tell that this is a picture from Dad's 60th birthday dinner on Sunday.

As you can see, 60 is taking it's toll on Daddy. It doesn't help that we are helping him down the hill. Isn't that what children and family are for - to give you that extra push when you are stuck trying to cling on to the last of your youth. There were some sweet moments to his birthday dinner. We cooked him a nice meal. I attempted to make him a birthday cake and decorated it. A card and gift card was bought. Wezul and I even took the time to sort through our 10,000+ songs on iTunes to make him a soundtrack to celebrate this major milestone in his life. Here is the list of songs we thought best expressed the sentiment of the occasion:

1) Funeral March Sonata No. 2 in B Flat Minor, Op. 35 - Abbey Simon
2) Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Guns N' Roses
3) Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
4) It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday - Boyz II Men
5) Dead Puppies - Ogden Edsl
6) The Show Must Go On - Queen
7) Back Porch - The Presidents of the United States of America
8) If Tomorrow Never Comes - Garth Brooks
9) Who Wants to Live Forever - Queen
10) Go Rest High on That Mountain - Vince Gill
11) Misery - Soul Asylum
12) Taps - US Air Force Tactical Air Command Band

Amazingly, enough this was just the right amount of music to get us through dinner.

What more can we possibly do to this man...as his birthday is...July 15th....
