40? Yes, 40.

We celebrated my 40th birthday in Baltimore this past weekend.

What a party!

Family and friends came from all over to help me celebrate and I was thrilled, honored and deeply gratified.

I know that a lot of people put a tremendous amount of time, energy and effort into the party and I am forever thankful. There was a walk down memory lane with old photos and memorabilia -- including a Superman leotard costume that I'm told I wore for Halloween when I was a kid. I must have blocked that out.

I am blessed to have such a generous and loving family -- and there were gifts aplenty. One of them was a replica Orioles jersey of my favorite Oriole, Eddie Murray.

All in all, maybe 40 isn't so bad!

Jackson got his first haircut...and he was a big boy about it.

He didn't like the cape around his neck but as soon as the stylist handed him a lollipop and turned on Mickey Mouse, he settled in.

Mommy & Daddy were worried he might lose his signature curls in the back but so far, so good.

Little brother Harrison was there enjoying the moment. 

Da boys!

During Jackson's birthday weekend, Cheryl set up a session with a photographer to take some pictures of the boys. Here are a few:
