The Big 3-0

(this is one of the only photos I could find of Phil with a cake! this was taken in 2001 in our apartment in Connecticut)

Not to be overshadowed by the births of our kids in the month of May, I thought I would mention that Phil also celebrates his birthday May 25th. Not only is he a lucky guy because he has his dream job, his dream house, and his dream family but he shares his birth date with some amazing events in history:

1787 - In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, delegates convene a Constitutional Convention to write a new Constitution for the United States. George Washington presides.
1935 - Babe Ruth hits his 714th and last home run at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, setting a baseball record that will stand for 39 years.
1961 - Apollo program: U.S. president John F. Kennedy announces before a special joint session of Congress his goal to initiate a project to put a "man on the moon" before the end of the decade.
1977 – Phil is Born! And George Lucas' film Star Wars, is released, and becomes an instant hit.
2001 - 32-year-old Erik Weihenmayer, of Boulder, Colorado, becomes the first blind person to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
2001 - 64-year-old Sherman Bull, of New Canaan, Connecticut, becomes the oldest person to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
