My store of photos of Jordan is smaller than that of our longer-serving son-in-law whom we honored a couple of weeks ago, but still my Mac Photos library still holds 714 images of Jordan. That's crazy. So I have chosen a fairly random 35 of them to represent him on this his thirty-fifth birthday.
Jordan this is only your first birthday as an official part of the Shaw/Baird bunch, but we have already learned to love and admire you. We wish for you a whole year of joy, love, and adventure and many many happy returns!
