Happy birthday, Jeff!

Jeff as a baby


It's Jeff's birthday today, woohoo! Please feel free to post a birthday greeting in my Livejournal comments section; I'll make sure he sees it.

The photo above: I think this cake was in celebration of his one month old birthday. His parents didn't decide on a name for him right away, but they nicknamed him "Spike" (volleyball related, I think) temporarily.

I'm glad they decided not to keep the nickname.

Here are some Jeff pics from the archives; I've also posted some in Jeff's birthday pic Flickr set.

Above: A photo I took of our group having lunch in the Kraus Hotsprings near the end of a gruelling but incredibly soul-satisfying canoe trip down the Nahanni River. Jeff's second from the left.

Below: A cartoon I sent in for CITY-TV's Breakfast Television valentines' contest about 18 years ago. I ended up winning the contest...and had to break it to Jeff that he and I were going to be on live television Valentines' Day morning, and that we had to be there at *6:30* a.m. He had had no idea I was entering the contest.

Breakfast Television Valentine's contest poem


Jeff didn't actually see the poem above until Ann Rohmer (who was co-host at the time) read it aloud to him on live television. HAHAHA! The prize consisted of a limo ride to the Chestnut Park Hotel, a nice dinner, and one night's stay at the hotel. The limo never showed up, so we took a taxi but still had a nice dinner and hotel stay.

Jeff asked me not to enter any more contests where he'd have to wake up so early to be on live television.

Happy birthday, sweetie. :-)
