Happy Birthday

Twenty-nine years ago I was in labor. Right now, at this moment. I had just woken up and realized-hey-we are going to have a baby today! I was shocked because it was three days before my due date. What greater gift could a nine month's pregnant woman ask for in the blistering August heat? (and in a house with no AC-just an old-fashioned "swamp cooler.")

This is the result!

I have vivid memories of this photo shoot-he kept tipping over in the chair-he wasn't sitting up very well yet, and he would giggle every time he tipped over. We had so much fun at the time and I loved the photo results!

About a year later.....look at those curls!

These next two I think are hilarious. The school photographer was doing some "tricky" stuff and he caught him peeking just as the shutter clicked. And I can just hear the photographer saying, "don't look at me, look away". This is the result...................

I couldn't resist buying the package-it was too funny.....

A few years later-my studly football player

Fast forward a few more years....with his lovely bride....

And fast forward even a few more years after that......his 3 adorable little kids.....(I think we need to update that photo, guys)

Happy birthday to my first born son! I love you!
