Happy Birthday to my Favorite Son

It's that time of year again, Greg is having a birthday! His 47th one, actually.

Wishing him an extra special, super, duper Happy Happy Birthday! He's one of a kind ;o) and he makes me proud to be his mom.

To be fair, here's the original photo with his girlfriend, Danielle, after a birthday dinner in Boston.

Thanks for stopping by...
