I’ve just been scrolling through your blog – I follow it and see the odd post, but felt like a bit of a binge haha! This is such a lovely lovely post, you really know how to put stuff together :) So happy!
I think there’s a little JFK JR thing going on there too! Please take this as the compliment it’s meant to be: shave you beard!
It hides your handsome face!
He looks like a charmer in his younger years!(my heart skipped a beat looking at his younger pics, oops) Not that he isnt one now but yeah I agree with Anon: please LOSE the beard, Alex!
Wow…young Alex looks so much like Sufjan Stevens!!
Happy birthday, Alex! Beautiful photos, beautiful family. Cheers!
I love seeing the love you guys have. Woop woop for the birthday fella!
I adore your blog and your sweet family!
Yesterday was my hubbie’s birthday, too. Go Scorpio Men!
maryn, it’s from winter water factory — they have totally adorable things! :)
Happy birthday Alex!
And totally off topic: where did you get the sailing ships onesie that Toby’s wearing? My husband is a sailor and I’d love to find one. Thanks!
thanks for these sweet comments! i’m sure alex will be chuffed:) missmehoneybee, he’s had the beard for about 4 years (i made him grow it:)
This is such a beautiful and sweet tribute. I love it!
How sweet!!
You always know just how to say it!

“Happy Birthday, Alex! We love you so much. You’ve been adorable all your life, and we’re so glad you ended up with us. Love, Joanna and Toby”

I love this photo montage you’ve created, Jo. It’s so sweet, and such fun for us readers to see Alex through the years.
Aww adorable. I am so jealous. What a great fall bday!

In the white shirt with the coffee mug, Alex looks like a John Kennedy Jr!!

Happy birthday, Alex!
These photos are so sweet! It looks like you have a really great husband!
Oh, what a fantastic tribute to your Alex. Such a handsome devil, too… like a refined Ben Folds (I don’t think Ben Folds even has a beard, but still… I think it’s more his happy eyes and adorable smile that marks the likeness.)
what a hunk!
I love love love old photos of people. As a child I would spend hours going through our family.
I hope Alex had a lovely day. You can tell it would have been filled with love. xo
Totally getting a Ryan Reynolds vibe in the coffee mug picture…

Alex looks like he could be in pretty in pink…or those early years of saved by the bell..
Aw, Happy Birthday Alex! Toby is looking more and more like you everyday! Best wishes from the west coast. :)
Awww. I want to cry :) … this is so sweet.

Enjoy your day Alex. And if I may say so, he looks like a young JFK Jr. Still a Q-T ;)

You guys are so adorable. Happy birthday, Alex!
Happy Birthday Alex! Love that he ended up with you and Toby! You guys are so cute together. Many, many more years ahead of you and many, more birthday’s filled with love and happiness.
Alex kinda reminds me of Sergei Grinkov in the mug photo. The Warwick one too. (And that’s a compliment; I used to love watching Gordeeva & Grinkov skate!)
Thanks for your kind words and birthday greetings, everybody! This post really brought back memories, and touched my heart. Funny that a couple of you mentioned the Travolta thing: I got that a couple of times when I was a waiter. I was psyched. I always wanted to be Italian. (Not going to complain about JFK Jr., either–thanks Katie). And yes,
Chloe that’s me punting down the Cam when I was 10. I spent most of the day trying to deal with a punt, but I guess at that moment we were losing control of the boat, so I pulled out the paddle:)
Happy birthday, Alex! I love the picture in the punt! Am I right in thinking that Alex is paddling down the River Cam while visiting my very own school, Cambridge University in England?
adorable indeed!
Such a great collection of photos. I love the one of him posing on the beach and then the one of him and his buddies (the look on his friends face who is hugging him is hysterical).
I was going to ask about Toby’s onesie too!!
You’ve got a really sweet family, Joanna!! Happy Birthday to Alex!
CONGRATULATIONS.
He looks like JFK Jr. in the 7th one down! (to me that would be the best compliment ever!)
happy happy birthday to Alex! I hope you guys are all three having a blast celebrating!! cutest family ever!
HOPPY BIRFDAY!!! YAY!
This was adorable, and what awesome (and occasionally bad-ass) pics! I’m sure the day was amazing.
Aww! Happy birthday, Alex. Such a great collection childhood photos. Thanks for sharing, Joanna.
p.s. Wow, Alex rocked some HAIR back in the day, ha!
Happy birthday, Alex. What a hottie! (And a very beautiful little family.)
Your husband was really hot.
Such wonderful pictures! Toby is looking a LOT like his dad :) So cute!
By the way, where did you two end up going on your fun weekend away?? Hope it was relaxing!
awie, what a nice way to say happy birthday :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX! Thanks for including that awesome photo tribute. Too funny!
That picture of he and Tobi, oh my! Your boys are so cute! Happy bday, Papa!
Happy Birthday Alex! Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing Joanna!
