3 Cousins Meet New Baby Cousin
Yesterday three of my grandchildren, Michael, Jack and Maura met their new baby cousin Joseph.
Their mothers are first cousins as their mothers are sisters so their offspring share a great grandparent!
Michael, Maura and Jack are first cousins once removed to baby Joseph’s mother but are second cousins to her son Joseph.
Right?
It can be confusing -even looking at the chart
Today a Happy New Year Begins
Wishing you a happy birthday and remembering the day you were born.
Love, Ma
Eight is Going to be Great
Happy Eighth Birthday Maura Clare.

Maura loves arts and crafts, swimming, piano lessons, dancing, going to the Children’s Museum in Pittsburgh and taking good care of her dolls. She brings a lot of energy and spirit to the party, that is for sure! Have a wonderful birthday, Maura.
Love from Grandma Frooey.
Hope you like your birthday blog. You can always check out some more photos of when you were little here on your 6th birthday blog.

Our Dad’s Shoes

Maura in the Mirror
Mirror is the Weekly Photo Challenge so I’m interrupting the Northwest Vacation Series to post my favorite mirror photo. Maura is going to be eight come November- her baby photo makes me smile. Time passes at a rapid rate which is what old people always said to me but now I am understanding what they were advising me when I was young. The baby blanket belonged to her mother Erika when she was a baby. I always like the heirlooms passed on to another generation.
Happy Birthday Lala
You were one not so long ago.
Now you’re mom to a one year old!
Happy Happy Birthday to you Laura.
You make life nice.
Love,
Your Mom
P.S. Refer to last year’s birthday post to see how time flies.
(It’s something old people say to younger people and then suddenly you experience it.)
It was Forty Years Ago Today
“You don’t remember, I’ll never forget …”
Me holding Mark, Fort Knox, Kentucky – a Polaroid
May, 1976. Bicentennial baby!
My mom and dad with first grandchild, Mark. Philadelphia PA – July 1976
My mother was the exact age in this photo that I am now. (63)
Quick, the photo albums with the sticky lines are ruining all the old photos!!
Young mother but oh, those glasses….
Aunt Bobbie needlepointed that patriotic bear.
Anyone else have a plaid Herculon couch?
Two proud grandpas -Mark’s first birthday! (or maybe the month after)
And I will title this one Jubilant
It seems one minute you have a baby-`
and then they become grown up with a family of their own!!
Happy fortieth birthday, Mark.
love, Mom
(I never did embroider Fort Knox on this birth sampler I found, folded up in my dresser drawer recently) Forty years goes by fast!!
and there was the year I got you the gift you never got as a child

Two Thirds of a Year Already
Eight months old. Seems just a blink since Charles was born, June 25th.
You’ve heard it a billion times, they grow so fast, and they do. It’s true.
Before I headed back to Pittsburgh, I wanted to photograph my grandson with the real camera and not the phone. He’s on the move. Says “Hi, Dada”
