Today is Russ's birthday. He is 32 (and starting to look like he is old enough to be an RM). In a true gesture of love I am trying to brag about and embarrass him. First and most obvious is his latest painting, commissioned by a friend of his family. Russ is amazingly creative. He always says his talent is a result of hard work but lets be honest... we know he doesn't work that hard.
When I first met Russ my impression was, "This is a man without any guile." Five years later I do not change that statement. I only add he has iron strong integrity, a generous heart, a goofy sense of humor, killer stamina (He thinks Mt Olympus is a morning hike.), wonderful father, a detirmined work ethic, a powerful testimony, and no body fat.
As I am sitting here typing this..he (on his birthday) is feeding Abbie. So lets be honest...I need to go!

He is one amazing guy. I feel lucky to have him as my brother. I have never met anyone who could come up with as many nicknames for one person like he can. :)
Your talent never ceases to amaze us. Have a fantastic Birthday!!
Happy Birthday Russ!!!
(If Emily hadn't said that was a painting, I would have assumed it was a picture.)
Happy Birthday Russ! Your design/artistic ability is superb. I still feel bad to this day about the whole RealSource/Modern8 thing. Design away! I hope to tap your artistic skills for projects to come.
I love the picture. And we would like to give a shout-out to Russ and wish him a very happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Russ and fantastic painting. Uh, yeah, talent like that isn't just a result of hard work... you have to have the talent in the first place to do it! Wow, someday when we have money, we will commission you to.
What a talented guy! Hope he has a great birthday!
I love the post! You are an amazing woman too, (just for the record.) :) That painting is awesome. I don't have that talent so definitely appreciate more those who do. Thanks for sharing.
Hey I found you guys. I am glad to see you are doing well
