Happy Birthday Colin

                                                              Happy Birthday to this guy...





Colin’s birthday is the perfect Valentine/Birthday combo...

a double shot of 

cupid and cake... 

followed by a confetti chaser.




It's a combo so legendary 

we call it 

Colintine’s Day.



Colin is our middle child…

smack dab 

in the center of these siblings


aka
the peanut butter & jelly 
squished in the middle...
making the 
PB & J sandwich

a classic. 




Middle children are often labeled with unfavorable stereotypes..

which do NOT apply to Colin….


The forgotten child- 

Nope. Not this guy. Remember he’s legendary...

plus he wears a name tag.


The easily angered child-

Colin never met anger.  Who dat?





An inferiority complex- 

Haha Inferiority? That’s funny. Still laughing.

Colin asked to do a reading

at his First Communion. 

He was either spiritually moved or 

wanted the podium.



The Class clown


He's more like the family clown.




But if "Middle Child" stereotypes were…

creative, clever, talented, fun…

sweet, nice, thoughtful 

and loving and caring to his mother...

all would apply to him.


Personally, I don’t think he's had it that bad being

stuck in the middle…

at least he didn’t have to wear Chelsea’s hand me downs…



but you would have to ask him.




Anywhoooo

 

Over the years,

Colin has not only brought music to my ears 

but also to my heart. 

I have loved sharing the gift of music with him through the years…

sitting with him in his room 

while he played me his favorite bands...


to his Dear Havanah Band in Boston…



to his time on the road with Dustin Lynch…





to the music he has written 

as a songwriter in Nashville 


                                                                       (Awesome iconic 80's Maxell 
poster 
                                                                         given to Colin by Uncle Daryl.)
                                        




to the imprint Colin has written on my heart.




Our connection is priceless...





and Colin continues to 

pour his heart into what he loves…




especially a good margarita.

Happy Birthday/

Happy Valentine's Day/

Happy Colintine's Day


to a sweet guy

and

a sweet son

who has made a day about love

even SWEETER.
