15. How he always smells so good!
16. That his hands are always warm

21. That his birthday present to himself was spending 8 hrs the day before cleaning out and organizing the garage!

27. -he's a pushover
28. -he knows how to laugh at things (this he gets from his Dad, too :] )

30. How coordinated and atheletic he is

31 1/2. When he speaks to me in French (oo la la)
32. His testimony of the Savior, and his surety of the restored gospel
33. His deep love for me... he has always been so dedicated to us and determined to give me (and the kids) the best life possible.. and he has! I sure do love you Chris! Thanks for being you!

I feel bad that I didn't get to read this post until today. Kara's words make me love Chris even more. When I hear about him being gone so much I'm concerned about how things are going at home. After reading this tribute I know all is well. Thank-you, Chris, for bringing peace of mind to this father. (For you younger parents who don't know this - you never stop being concerned about your chillens!)
Wow... I read this and began to read about Mia's birthday and now I'm a little teary eyed. I'll have to read the post about your last baby later... I loved the list about Chris. He is wonderful and I have felt comfort many a time after talking to him... and you too! I feel lucky to have you guys for friends!
Very sweet post Kara. I'm glad I know a bit more about him but I can tell that he is a keeper and a very good husband and father.
What a sweet post! Happy Birthday Chris!!
