Happy 44th Birthday

November 20, 1980 was a snowy morning. We left home a little after 8 AM. The hospital was barely a block away from our house.

I was told oooops baby isn’t in a good position so you could be here all day.

Guess you heard that declaration, got into a good position, then everything happened fast? Guess you decided you’d surprise us.

You were born at 10:10 AM.

My mom came out to help.

Looking at this photo of my mom holding you, I realize my mother (68) is just 4 years younger than I am now.

Love to you on your birthday.

Love, Ma

What do you call the object on the right?

Yes, it’s a lost pacifier In a parking lot. Someone had a long and perhaps loud ride home Unless they had a spare.

So there are many nicknames for a pacifier.

By what name do you call it?

It might depend where you live or perhaps a family special moniker.  (This photo is not intended to spark debate on whether pacifiers are good or bad.)

Rick says it’s “schnuller” in German.

Almost Twelve Years Ago

Thanks for all the comments.  I appreciate your responses. It seems an issue I have trouble fixing.  Now the WordPress Bloggers have to sign in?  Oh my.  It should not be a pain to leave a thought or good word.

Throwback Thursday. One of my favorite family photographs.  Mark reading while  Erika’s holding baby Jack and Anna and Michael. Before Maura was born.  We were on a road trip in May 2007, staying at our friend Joanne’s home in Omaha, Nebraska. 782 miles from Columbus to Omaha in the minivan, that’s one way.  I sat in the back with the kids and was the Granny Nanny while Mark (and sometimes Erika) attended meetings at a convention. The word of the week this would illustrate might be Exhaustion.  Oh, that’s right, they don’t have the word of the week anymore. 🙁
