Liam is Ten!

Sunday, November 8, 2009

Happy birthday, happy TENTH birthday, my fine, sweet boy, who loves lilacs and all things that smell

who loves bones and bison

and checking bluebird boxes

and all things mysterious

who loves his sister Phoebe

and pawpaws

but persimmons, not so much

baseball, same deal

who loves trains

Chet Baker

hot springs

horses

Harry Potter

pizza

making people laugh

his daddy

and his mommy too.

You are the most wonderful boy we could ever hope for and we are looking forward to seeing you become a wonderful man. That doesn't mean you have to go away, although, being a boy of great passion, you probably will.

Have really enjoyed your blog lately, Julie. The last time I saw you Liam was just a baby and you had to leave your Swinging Orangutangs gig to take care of him. Wow, that 10 years went fast!

I'm so glad Mumbah, Colo and I got to meet and your family on your birthday weekend!

Hey, Liam, happy birthday! You're my favorite guy-I-haven't-yet-met!

Posted by Catbird November 9, 2009 at 4:38 PM

Yes, Liam, ten is wonderful.
But hang onto all these great memories. With each year's passing, they become even more valuable.
Add to them something very special this year, because, being ten is its own wonder.

Happy Birthday Liam! You have grown before our eyes and yet you still have so far to go! I have faith that you will do as many great things as your mom, and maybe even more!
