Boy, am I about to be in big trouble. A crucial, very important member of our family doesn’t like social media and very much chooses to stay out of the realm of the Internets. So while he is an important part of Lumber in my Minivan, he’s almost never featured here on the site.

Today, our hero, husband, father and Mr fix it guy celebrates his birthday…one more trip around the Sun and therefore 365 more days of being awesome and putting up with all us womenfolk.

And believe you me, we are a lot sometimes.

So happy birthday, Mr Lumber. Here’s to 365 more days of being awesome, fixing the things we break, making us laugh and letting us talk you into various DIY projects and silly photographs.

We love you and we don’t know what we’d do without you!
