I wanted to share some of his baby pictures because (1) they're really cute, and (B) as much as I love my UPS man, there can be no doubt based on these pictures that my boys are Phil's spawn! (Ha-ha... I do a fair amount of online shopping and we like to make jokes about the UPS man). :)
I think he looks like Emmett in the picture above. And how cute is that big smile below?
And, oh my gosh, is he not the spitting image of Reid here? We almost died when this picture came up on our screen-saver the other day! That's Phil's brother, Ed, next to him... they are 13 months apart!
I can totally see Emmett in this one, too...
I know everyone always says this, but Phil really is such an amazing father and husband. And since it's his birthday I feel like I can brag about him for a little bit. Don't get me wrong... we are not perfect or anything. We definitely have our disagreements now and again, but he is just so patient with me and kind and loving to me (in his own way... he's not very touchy-feely, lovey-dovey, schmoopy-poopy but after 10 years of marriage I am starting to understand his love languages). :) I know I am not the easiest woman to live with and I am so thankful to him for being so good to me even though I can be a real pain! And as a father... I could not have even imagined how wonderful he would be. He spends every minute he can with our boys and just treasures them and loves them so much. I want to cry just thinking about it. The boys just absolutely adore their dad and I am so very thankful that they have such a wonderful role model and a father that will always love, support, encourage, and accept them no matter what. So thank you, Phil, for being such a wonderful you! We love you so much!
Phil loves carrot cake and pretty much every year I make him a cake from Ina Garten's carrot cake cupcake recipe. I don't know what happened, but this year it was a complete disaster. The cakes basically exploded in the oven and made a huge mess and the entire house smelled like burnt carrot cake for the whole day. I had planned on taking cupcakes to his work and making a cake for home that night, but I barely salvaged the cake. There was no way I was taking those embarrassing cupcakes to his work! There are some crazy good Martha Stewart wives in our squadron. Anyway, here's what the pans looked like after I scraped the cakes out...
And here's the sad cake after scraping it out of the pan... huge crater in the middle. I thought I had high-altitude baking kind of figured out, but I guess not.
Luckily it looked a little better after being frosted and it tasted good, so I guess that's what counts. And the boys still loved singing to Daddy.
We got the boys ready for bed and then went out by ourselves for a little bite and some Christmas shopping. Here's Phil and his twin right before Reid's bath....
We love you, Phil!!

Heather, I meant to tell you and Phil last night that this post is unbelievable! I cannot believe how much Reid and Phil(and Emmett) look alike in those pictures...so great that you have them. I love the comparison pictures you do. I just took a pic of Avery that reminded us of Wyatt (I know should be both but more W) which reminded me to post a comment on your blog.
