Oh brothers!
I wasn't going to do birthday tributes this year but...
Oh well. I can break my own rules if I want to.
And this one's a two-fer.
Both of my fabulous brothers have birthdays this week.
Chris's is today, the Ides of March. (Beware!)
I miss him. We miss him.
He is a world-traveling,
music-making
(that's him with the guitar),

people-loving,
cool-styling
(in the middle, below)

good-hearted man.
Hard to believe my baby bro is 29.
(especially since he was 7 when I left for college)

Happiest of days to you, Chris.
Sure do love you.

Matt's birthday was on Friday.
Matt is one of my favorite people.
If you know him, you know what I mean.
Funny.
Smart.
(or wicked smaht, as we say here)
Talented.
Interesting.
Tender-hearted.
Authentic.


And he seriously knows how to rock the Halloween costume.

Love you, Matt.
And sorry for pushing you down the slide
at Dennis the Menace Park that time.
Et cetera.
xoxoxo
*pictures swiped from their Facebook accounts. Thanks, brothers.

I've yet to meet these famous brothers of yours, but love them because they're related to you and doing such awesome things.
Happy birthday, brothers o' Annie.
(I think I pushed my sister down that very slide a time or two...)
Nice birthday tributes and fun pics.
Thanks for your words, Annie (and also for the gifties: you always choose such great books!)
For me, you forgot:
stubborn, neurotic, slightly obsessive-compulsive, etc. But I'll take your words, no questions asked!
And you're forgiven for the slide-pushing. As for making me wear bolo ties in middle school . . . that's another question!
I love all of the photos.
Brothers are the best, I could not do without mine.
ooh, your brother's look like fascinating people. Happy Birthday to Chris and Matt!
Wow. Even your brothers are cool.
