Now YOU are Six, Jack!
Now We Are Six
When I was One,
I had just begun.
When I was Two,
I was nearly new.
When I was Three
I was hardly me.
When I was Four,
I was not much more.
When I was Five,
I was just alive.
But now I am Six,
I’m as clever as clever,
So I think I’ll be Six now
for ever and ever.
-A.A. Milne
Happy Birthday John Patrick (Jack). Here is a poem for you on your special day.
Happy 7th Birthday
Seven years ago I was in Florida watching Anna while Erika and Mark went to the hospital. Happy Birthday Michael Joseph! He just lost his first tooth and is starting First Grade on Wednesday so your last day of summer vacation you don’t have to go to school. Bet you’ll find time to build something with your new Star Wars Lego today.
Blogging from Aunt Mary’s computer in NYC at 3 AM so when you wake up you can see your birthday post. Love, FF Ruthie
Superman Contemplates the Jump
The fire alarm went off at church. Too much incense. Had to evacuate the building. Here is Jack on the fence outside the parish hall where they were getting ready for the All Saints parade for the children. He switched into his St. John costume complete with eagle.
Anyway, I sewed this Superman cape about 28 years ago for Jack’s Uncle Matthew. Now Jack(4) wants to wear it constantly. Last night I had to sew some repairs. He was so happy that it could be fixed.
Last Christmas time he was into Spiderman and you might have seen Jack on his Uncle Matthew. If not, click here. Matthew comes in from Croatia pretty soon for Laura’s wedding. I hope he doesn’t find I gave his old Superman cape to his nephew.
