She’s had another year around the sun! And she’s not just older, she’s better! Another year of growth and challenges, and as a mom, wife, and professional, she just keeps on getting better.

We love her deeply and admire her character and talent.

And this will tell you something about Amanda: I went looking for pictures of her, and she’s always with one or all the kids, or the whole family! She’s defined by her relationships, I think. And relationships are very important to her. She demonstrates that over and over.

Happy birthday, Amanda! We love you very much!
