I've been told this isn't cheating, it's sneaky, and a good sneaky at that.

Today, June 25th*, is our very own Andrew's birthday! Everyone gather around, bring party food, and celebrate! This special day only comes once a year, so make the most of it. ;)

*It's the 25th in Russia right now, where Andrew is. So it's already his birthday there. ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Andrew, my little brother, I am so blessed to have you in my HW family. You are so patient, whether with my blathering about my books, or pestering about this or that thing I need done, and (from what I can tell in the written word), always put up with it with a smile. I so enjoy our chats.

Like I said the other day, you don't hear it often enough, but thank you so much for everything you do around here. I'm sure it's not easy to be our main tech person and constantly have demands on your time because of it, but the work you do is greatly appreciated, and I don't know what we would do without you.

Have a happy, happy birthday. May your year be blessed by God, and may you grow more and more into the image of His Son. May He guide your steps and light your path, and may you grow in your love for, trust in, and reliance on Him through whatever He brings you.

Happy birthday, little brother! Now we have the same number for our age again. ;) *tosses rainbow leaves on Andrew and gives him a rainbow leaf crown* *puts lemon sour cream cake on the table* HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy birthday Andrew! I hate to think where HW would be without you, your work is appreciated and all the topics you've brought up on the forum and posted on are always so helpful.
May God bless your next year of life and continue to draw you closer to Himself and mold you into His image. :)

Happy belated Birthday, Andrew! Thanks for being the wonderful person you are (I remember signing a petition about that). Plus, I agree with whoever said it -you're a great poet.
In Canada, you would be a legal adult. Are you a legal adult in Russia?
