A very very happy birthday to my dad who turns... ohhhh somewhere between 60 and 62... today! I had my mom scrounge up an old picture of him. What a fox, huh? Real men have chihuahuas. He was way ahead of his time when it came to little dogs. :) Actually, I can't remember what the deal is with the dog. Mom? Any comments?Anyway, happy birthday, Dad! I hope you have a great day. Thank you for all that you do for us girls. You're the greatest. Really, you are. Love you!!!

awwwwww, no wonder I married him. WHAT a cutie, eh? I think the Yalta Conference had to do with the Allies setting up terms for Germany's surrender...don't know where it was held....but I'm sure Soviet Union, US and UK would have been present. And as to the tiny dog beside ole Kenny....who says it is his? Maybe the dog was just hopping up for the photo moment. Notice the appropriate smile on the pooch? That phtoto was WAY before MY time. But I'll get more info for ya.
how old is he here? he looks so young. the random tiny dog does seem strange. happy b-day ken!
Happy Birthday Elizabeth's dad! (I secretly want a chihuahua.)
Well, you are aware that The Bells of Saint Mary were nominated in 1945 and Going My Way won in 1944....weren't chris and elliot awesome last night???
Potsdam Conference was the final meeting of the allied heads of state during WW2 in which they forced Japan to surrender.
The Yalta Conference divided up germany and also formed the UN
And yes I am this big of a nerd
I knew I could count on you, Matt. :)
Happy Birthday to the best dad in the world! Really, you are.
