Happy Birthday Jen!

I think enough things have coincided to make these, officially, a coincidence.   

Seeing you in VT in August for the first time in 6(?) yrs and second time in 13(?) years.  

Listening to ‘Walking on Broken Glass’ on my Ipod totally by random when I have been running all summer.

Dear Jennifer, October 7, 2009Blue Bandanas: Jen and Mom with blue bandanas

I can’t believe that you are turning 40!!  After all these years, it is still so easy for me to remember you as a child. 

October 7, 2009

Just has the best sense of humor
Everyone feels good when they are with her
Never takes herself too seriously
Neiman once, Gottlieb forever
Inclusive, accepting, open, kind and compassionate
Friend to whom you never want to say goodbye
Expert command of all kinds of useless information 
Ready with a witty line – always

Happy Birthday Jen! I feel so grateful to count you among the people I hold in my heart.

Love,

Risa

Jen, 

Jen, Unice, and Amy

Happy Birthday! 

“Hi Jennifer, how are you?”

This is the typical phone greeting that I make as you call the house. Your response usually lists all the places, activities and events that you, Ruby and Ben have experienced that day. “ We went here and we went there and they learned about this and that ……… and, now I am racing home to make cookies for the parent meeting I am going to this evening after I get the kids settled, make dinner, and give them baths.” 

Happy Fortieth Jen, may it be the best year ever, and many even more wonderful in the future.

We have so enjoyed watching you and Seth as you have matured into such caring and nurturing parents.  It has also been both a pleasure and an honor to have you be a part of our family.   We treasure the time that we share with you both and Ruby and Ben, and look forward to many family celebrations in the future.  

With Love and Best Wishes,

Ray and Karli
