Happy 22 Birthday!(one day early)



Hard to believe but 22 years ago I had a baby boy scared out of the womb by a firecracker!(the people in the downstairs apt were playing with them)
My mom and Vince were present for the grand entrance. (Dad was in the hallway chatting with the nurses)I had planned to go home within 8 hours (since it was 10PM) but the high BP kept me there watching Indy 500 rerun due to rain out. Finally, we went home!

Patrick was a little squirt, dimples and all. What a time of joy and anxiety! I am sure a lot of you remember that feeling. Well, my squirt is now a big man, serving our country and most of all our God! We are proud of him and excited to see what else God has purposed him to do! (unfortunately, I don't have a scanner for all our 35mm of Pat, maybe one day...)

Have a terrific day, we love you and are so proud of you and your determination to do well!
Psalm 1: 1-3
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.


We will eat cake in honor of you this weekend when the O clan gets together at Granddaddy and Betty's!

Both those posts were mine- I sounded silly with what I was saying, sorry:) Anyway, interesting post and cute cartoon- it made me laugh. Peace to you- missed you at RRM today, was hoping to talk.Asked Cora if FBC was willing to commit to once a month at RRM and my church will do once a month also. As of right now, we are the only cleaning group. Thought it might be nice if the kids could have a sanitary environment more often:)
