Happy Birthday Web Guy!
Today is an important day – the birthday of my firstborn. This one made me a mom and made WH a dad, and the second one (Knitting Daughter) sealed the deal! WH and I were happy to have both of them join our family, way back when. (I’m still not sure how that time flew by. It seems like just yesterday that he was having birthday parties in the back yard.) I’m pretty sure he will think this photo of him at 18 months was totally (totally) unnecessary in the post, but it’s my post and this is one of my favorite photos of him when he was little.
You all know how vital his skills are around here. We couldn’t run The Loopy Ewe without him. But as much as I love having him as our Web Guy, I’m even happier to have him as a son. Happy Birthday, Danny!

Funny how we do enjoy them as adults but some of the most fondest memories that we cherish are when they are children/babies. Web Guy will understand that himself someday when he is a father I’m sure. With parents like the two of you both your children have had great role models. I don’t have to tell you this but you are one lucky Mom to have such wonderful children/young adults.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEB GUY!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEB-GUY! Thanks for all you do for The Loopy Ewe. It’s nice to have a site run so smoothly. Love the photo! My favorite photo of my son is also at 18 months. It must be that in-between-baby-little boy age.
Have a wonderful day

Though that is a very cute picture, I think he is even cuter now. Happy Birthday to him and congratulations to you — raising such fine children is a great accomplishment!

We all love him too for keeping the website up and running, especially for as often as we have crashed the site. We love TLE and are thankful for all that everyone in your family (including the elves) have done to make this our favorite place to shop.

He is so cute! He still has the same smile now that he had when he was a baby! I love having a child, but they age you, don’t they? I mean that they literally date you, by their age alone you will always know how old you are. Argh! My husband, who is younger than me, six months only mind you, keeps reminding me that I am entering cougar age!

Burn like cities in your wake
Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
And while this picture might have been terribly unnecessary, at least it isn’t horribly embarassing (every family has to have at least one photo that you show to potential dates growing up).

Happy Birthday to Web Guy! My youngest is (I think) Danny’s age, as he also graduated last year. His birthday is next Wednesday and I have some photos that he would rather not see on the web either…but they are so cute and take me back to good memories, as I am sure yours does too.

Happy Birthday to Web Guy! You can console him about the picture by pointing out that you didn’t use a “naked baby in shag carpet” photo.

You know you’ve got a good kid, Sheri, when even relative strangers like me think about how proud you must be to have him as a son.

Happy Birthday Web Guy. Seeing your picture, brings back memories of when my son was that age. I still have a picture that my grandson looks at and says “me”.
You have a wonderful family and you should be proud of them. Always keep them close to your heart

May 12th must be a great day to be born – we have 2 other friends with 12th birthdays. Your previous post about your MIL’s home being “most like home” was very sweet – our grandmothers homes are gone now and MIL too so it’s very sad to think of all the fun times we had in those places near and dear to our hearts – OK – gotta run – I’m tearing up – Mel

Happy Birthday, Web Guy! We’re so happy you are with us! And get used to the picture thing, and the story telling thing. It’s what I refer to as “a mother thing,” and that never changes. (And frankly, we love them for it, even if it totally embarrasses us nearly to death sometimes. Ask me about being serenaded by an accordian player for my 21st birthday some time. Seriously.)

Happy Belated Birthday Web Guy. Just remember it’s a parents job to embarrass their children every once in a while. And if you didn’t know before just how much you are appreciated by every one in Loopy Land maybe all these posts will help. Thanks for all that you do and for making a site so user friendly that even I can navigate it.
