Good morning John, Our Hen turns six today and if you have a minute to wish him a happy birthday I would be grateful. The morning after he was born you played the Talking Heads’ “Stay Up Late” and shared some of your parenting insight — both have made us smile, celebrate, and enjoy the struggles throughout the years so much more. Much appreciated.
