Happy Birthday To The "Offspring"

The Offspring Then...



And Now...



At the risk of being disowned, oh wait, he can't do that to me, I wish Teddy a very Happy 41st Birthday.

He's still as cute as he was then, only he gets into more mischief these day and I'm not around to sort him out. He, of course would say that he raised me and he sorts me out, so we just choose to disagree on that point. The reason he thinks that is that from the age of 4 or so until 17, it was just the two of us. Somehow we muddled through life together until he went off to University and I met my Sweetie. During his time at University he did come home weekends (with his laundry) and at age 20 he moved to Yellowknife in the North West Territories. He never came home to live again and now lives in Cowtown (Calgary.

If you want to see what he gets into these days, visit him here.

He travels a lot but this latest trip was the most tame. The one that gave me sleepless nights was the Morrocan adventure. Maybe now that there is a new baby on the way the travelling will be a little more tame. One can only hope.

He is a teacher, entrepreneur, father to three lovely sons (like the tv show) and the best son a mother can have. Happy Birthday Teddy.

Hi Rositta...finally getting around to visiting you again!! To put a birthday card on on your blog, find a card on a web site like http://www.castlemountains.com...right click on it and save it to your computer. Then, just add it like you would any picture you put on your blog. When you view it, you should be able to see the animation. Not all cards work but most will:-) Hope this helps!!
