KENNEBUNKP­ORT, Maine — George H. W. Bush enjoyed a relaxing birthday on Tuesday as he became the first former U. S. president to turn 94.

The nation’s 41st president was receiving calls and taking it easy at his seaside home, said Chief of Staff Jean Becker.

Bush’s office shared a letter from the president in which he said, “My heart is full on the first day of my 95th year.”

“Asmany of you know, for years I have said the three most important things in life are faith, family and friends. My faith has never been stronger,” the former president wrote in the letter.

Several of his children were in town, including former President George W. Bush, who posted a smiling photo of the two on Instagram.

“I’m a luckyman to be named for George Bush and to be with ‘ 41’ on his 94th birthday,” wrote Bush, the nation’s 43rd president.
