This first picture is at Norrie Point off the Hudson River just before I proposed. Linda is quiet by nature but she speaks her mind. She is a very strong woman that I am lucky enough to be married to. She keeps all of us laughing at our house and is really fun to be around.
Our first picture after getting engaged. Linda has a wonderful smile and brightens the room when she is there. (Yes I know that is really sappy!)
In 1998 Linda ran the New York City Marathon. She trained for three months and finished the 26 mile run strong. Go Team Snoopy!
Linda in Ecuador with her cousins in 2001. She had a great time there with tons of family and went again back in 2002.
In 2001 we moved to Arizona. Linda was incredibly supportive of me getting my masters degree. She is always thinking of other people. This is her on the hiking trail in Sedona.
Linda loves taking pictures and blog about them. Her blog is these are the days . (If you are reading this you probably know that already.) She used to do a lot of scrapbooking and that has evolved into her blog. It was pretty hard to find pictures of just her because she has been the only one behind the camera for the last two years. But I just got my own camera so... watch out!
I was practicing with my new camera. This is Linda being silly.
This is Linda being serious.
But she is the real photagrapher in our home. Here are a few of my favorite pictures that she has taken of our sons. I don't think she has ever left the house without her camera. I tease her about this a lot but she really does get great pictures.
Connor at the park glowing with happiness.
Connor asleep. Linda has a knack for getting real life shots of the boys.
Me and Connor last summer. What are we looking at? Who knows... Linda has a great eye for good pictures.
A very excited Ian at the Fourth of July Parade in 2006.

Here is one lucky shot of Linda and Ian that I took in Houson TX while we where visiting Jesse and Tewlyn. There is that same awesome smile!

Linda is a wonderful person. A loving wife and mother. We have been together for fourteen years and married for almost nine. She is the anchor and heart of our family. Happy Birthday Linda!

I almost forgot it was my birthday until I got to my computer. 3* is off to a great start and I had no idea this would be a birthday tribute to me. Wow. It's a little disarming to see so many pictures of myself in one spot.
Thank you Pup for all of your sweetness and love. This is the best birthday present, which is good because I couldn't think of one. (besides a pool, did we get anywhere on that?!?-just kidding!)
I love you!
Happy Birthday Linda!!!! and all it took to get Thomas to blog was your birthday! You two are such a loving couple it warms my heart :)

Oh, that is so sweet! I just love Linda (as far as I know her from her blog! ;-)) She does have a gorgeous smile. I hope she had a great birthday!
She takes gorgeous photos of you and the boys. I just got a chuckle going through them. So cute!
What a fine tribute to your wonderful wife. I've read enough of your comments on Linda's blog to know you can write. I'm looking forward to more posts. Lots of wonderful pictures here. I love the one of Connor peaking out from behind the yellow whatever.
Great that you have a new camera! Soon you'll be carrying it everywhere too and Linda will be able to tease you back.
Belated Happy Birthday to Linda and happy Blog Birth to you.
I started following your Sister-in-Law's blog late last summer or early fall I think and she, in turn, introduced me to your wife -and you and the boys by way of her blog too! Glad you took the plunge into blogland -it's really a lot of fun and you get to communicate with people from all over the world.
And finally, your first post, a beautiful tribute to your lovely wife, was fantastic!
Hey Tom, I like your blog. I agree Linda is awesome.
Nice job on the blog!! What a beautiful tribute to your wonderful wife. Love the title too. You and I definitely inherited the talking gene!! If there was a Talk Olympics, you would get the Gold Medal and I would take the Silver Medal! xoxo
What a thoughtful birthday present. Nice job Thomas and HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA!
