Happy B-Day Grandpa!!!

It was fun coming to your house in Nebraska. I love you, BYE.

Dear Grandpa, Happy Birthday! I am glad we got to come to your house and see where you live. Thanks for taking us swimming. I love you.

Happy Birthday bumpa. Luff you.

Hello, I love you. I went to the zoo, my favorite thing was seeing the alligators. Happy Birthday dear grandpa.

Dear Grandpa, Happy Birthday. I miss you and I hope you have a happy birthday. I love the beanbag you gave me for my birthday. Love Sammi

Happy Birthday Rory! I am so grateful to know you and be a part of your family. As I look back over the years, one thing that stands out to me about your life is your generosity. You have always been so generous and concerned with the well being of your children. You have been a blessing to so many people. Thank you for being a great father and grandfather. I love you and wish you the best on this birthday. Jeff

Happy Birthday dad! I have been so blessed to have you as my dad. I'm grateful for your calm influence over the family. We feel of your love and concern for us always. When I think of good memories with you, I can think of many. But the one that stands out the most is our one on one ski trips. I felt so lucky to have that in common with you and I grew to love you more through those weekly trips, still today when I smell the strong gas smell that the ski lifts put out, I think of you, and fun, and pure joy. Thanks for taking time to be with ME! I love you. Emily

The Lawrence clan is wishing you a great day.
Sheldon says:

Rory, thanks for being such a great father in law and friend. I've always enjoyed our conversations and I wish you lived closer. Your example means a lot to me. Have a great birthday!

Liza says: I am so grateful for the chance I got in this life to be a member of your family. I have learned a lot from your example and love. Thank you for offering this to me. One piece of advice you gave me years ago as I was getting married, and that I have referred to many times is: "It is not who is right but what is right" Thank you! I have tried to apply this in my relationships and share it with others along the way. You have been quick to apologize to me and others which also has made a big difference in my life. I love you!
Isaac says: I like you grandpa. I think you are really nice. I like the jokes you tell and you are really fun. I remember when you came to my baptism and I liked when you went on a hike with me once. Love Isaac.
Annie says: Grandpa, thanks for my birthday presents. One of my favorite memories is playing outside in your yard with you. I was rolling down the hill. I love you!
Eli says: Welcome Grandpa to your birthday. I am glad that you will have presents. I am glad that you will have another cake for your birthday grandpa. And hope you have a little flashlight for your present and hope I have a birthday too and I will have dinosaurs. I Love You Grandpa!
Emma says: Birthday! Birthday! No Eli- Birthday!

"Rory, I really like your daughter."

Happy birthday Rory! I've heard the 45th birthday is one of the better ones. Enjoy it:) Rachel asked each of us to share either one of our favorite memories or a quick thank you. I will do both. First, thank you for not strangling me when I asked for your daughter's hand in marriage. Perhaps the words "I really like your daughter" weren't necessarily strong enough for the occasion - my mistake. I don't think I've seen your eyes wider or your jaw drop as much as when I uttered that fateful phrase. Funny memory. It's a good thing there was nothing sharp within arm's length at the time. If I may, let me set the record straight in writing...I LOVE your daughter!!! I definitely have a lot to improve (Rachel will agree:) but I will always do my best to deserve her. Thanks for giving me the privilege to be with Rachel forever! Happy B-day!

We can't wait for you and Michelle and Aaron to visit!!!

HI all!

I just wanted to put my two cents worth. Actually I am just showing Rachel that I could get in here, but while I am here I will post a family photo. I will post a new one later this month, since we are getting family pictures this Saturday.
