A Chuck Birthday!

One time every year a special day rolls around, and that day is Chuck's birthday. Chuck is more than just your friendly neighborhood arms specialist, he is a family man.
For example, when his firstborn said that he wanted to be an astronaut....
....he flung him into orbit to see if he liked it (which of course Clyde did).

And when young William asked where babies come from....
...he took him to the zoo to show him the apes that humans evolved from.

He taught me that no matter how many continents you hold in RISK, none of it means anything without Australia.

And if I remember correctly these pictures told a story that went something like this...
Jana-"Just pretend I'm not even here."
Jana-"CHUCK! Now I have to take another one. Smile right this time."

Chuck-"What?! Its not really a candid photo if you tell me exactly what to do."

Happy Birthday Chuck! We love you!

Chuck is right about a lot of things, but you do not need Australia to win at Risk. You need North America and South America. I'm just saying. What's the deal with the two pictures in the orange chair? The baby looks exactly the same. Isn't that who the picture is of??

Chuck is easily the best son-in-law in the world!

Happy birthday Chuck! We laughed pretty hard at the candid photo conversation you 'overheard'. And I do take issue with the first phrase - it seems sometimes this special day rolls around more than one time a year :)
