Happy big 40 Thom (Thh-awm)

You are as unique as the spelling of your name.

My girls helped me come up with this acrostic poem
T- Tiger Woods prodigy
H- Husband extraordinaire, with the tattoo to prove it.
O- Outstanding dad, dentist, and delicious food maker (or so we’ve heard, would love to try it for ourselves)
M- Madrigal that makes Cait’s heart sing. As you know she has always had a thing for madrigals 

You’ve got the best laugh and always make all of us BEHS gals feel like we are at the top of our comedic game.

Hope you have the happiest birthday! Plan a trip down south sometime!

We love you!

Happy Birthday Tommy!

Happy Birthday Thom!!

 Happy Birthday Thom!!

Crazy to think that it's been almost seven years since Katie told me to get out of the house and go meet up with you, Caitlin, and as an added bonus, your mom! Brunch, followed by watching the Solstice Bike Parade until in true Seattle fashion it started to rain and we had to escape to someone's house, was the perfect welcome to the Pacific Northwest. Little did I know that coming out to meet you that day would lay the foundation for almost every close friendship we now have in Seattle. Many of my early Seattle memories stem from your kindness to include me in everything from 4th of July celebrations and housewarmings, to the greatly anticipated Markeson houseboat BBQs and Halloween parties (where everyone knew they wouldn't go home hungry). 

We always have a blast with you, from games and dinner conversation, to Duck Dodge nights on the lake. Even your replies to our random panicked late night dental related texts are filled with patience and a smile!

Cheers to the next decade, again filled with summer days at wineries and evening dinners comparing notes on the world, just this time with added trips to the playground and art shows filled with masterpieces from school. And, as always... we should really get something on the calendar.

Love, Paul and Lauren 

As you celebrate another beautiful year of love , achievement and happiness, I hope you always have wonderful memories to look back on!

Happy Birthday Dearest Thom!

Cheers to more fun, more memories, and more cake! And more importantly, cheers to another trip around the sun with more wine !

Love, Azin

"Now you are a grown up"

Thom started life as a picky eater.  For his first birthday, I put a yummy slice of frosted birthday cake on his highchair tray. Had I but a live tarantula in front of him, he couldn’t have been more appalled.  Cringing away from the offending dessert, he started to cry.  Time passed and his culinary tastes expanded. He eventually started cooking his limited selection of food…French toast, bacon and the semi-daily batch of chocolate chip cookies.  By the time he went to college his diet was pretty expansive, bordering on gourmet.  And then he started honing his skills as a grill master.  He became quite the chef. 
After completing his schooling and getting his first dental position in Charlotte, his sisters and I decided it was time to give him a major stand mixer for his birthday.  I believe he was pretty happy with this gift because he told me “Now I’m a grown up.”

Well, time has sped by.  Thom has gotten married, built a successful dental practice and business, bought a home, and become a doting father.  I think it’s my turn to say to Thom, “Now you are a grown up.”  I am so proud of the husband, father, bother, son, responsible citizen and all around good person Thom has become.  I love you, my wonderful son. 

Love, Mom

Congrats to joining the club of the "Over the Hill" gang

Happy 40th birthday Thom! Congrats to joining the club of the "Over the Hill" gang, can’t wait to get there myself  . The good news is that 40 is just a number, the even better new is you're old enough to have a midlife crisis, the bad news is your hangovers might be worse and you can’t stay awake past 9pm! 

But in all seriousness, I am so grateful to have met you. You're always hilarious and always awesome, and I hope that your birthday is filled with just as much laughter and wine and cake!

Happy 40th, here's to another year of living life to the fullest!  Love Katie Lee
