Here is a picture of Kermit and his little girls on his 43rd Birthday! "A picture of Health." I asked Kermit what this quote means. He said that it comes from his father. Every year on his dad's birthday, he gathered his four boys around and made them sit on his lap for a photo, even when they were fully grown. The annual photograph was always referred to as "a picture of health." Maybe his dad thought that the children gathered around him made him feel young and vibrant, healthy. Maybe because good health is also one of the best wishes one could be granted. Whatever the reason, a birthday picture with the young ones gathered will forever be referred to as "a picture of health." So here's to another year of good health and happiness. Happy Birthday sweetheart. May all of your birthday wishes come true.

Happy Birthday Kerm. You Rock. - Byron
Good health for sure. What a great pic. Happy birthday Kermit! Too bad you miss our call the other day- we were going to sing Happy Birthday Molly Ringwald style.
HaPpY BirThDay Kerm! What a lucky guy to be surrounded by 4 beauties.
But I do wonder what singing like Molly Ringwald is?
Shannon- Erin I'm sure would love to demonstrate her Molly Ringwald version of Happy Birthday. If not, I'm sure Derek would be happy to! =) Try copying the link below and see if you get Molly Ringwald singing "This is my country." We had this record and used to laugh and laugh whenever this song came on & laughed even harder when we one day years later realized who was singing! Wow, she's got some pipes!

That is hilarious! Now I'm gonna call Derek and ask him to sing like Molly for me.
A picture of health... LOVE this idea! It has so many meanings to it. What comes to my mind is that when you have your little ones piled around you, you know life is good and you cherish the health of the moment and the loved ones you have near. Such a sweet thought. Happy Birthday Kermit...43 years young.
