Oh Danny Boy

The big Double Douce! Twenty-two.  My BABY is twenty-two today. (sigh)

June 16, 1988 - my BABY was born. 9 lbs. 3 oz. (ouch!)

Emily thought you belonged to her.

 

I blinked and it was your first day of school.

You ARE so much like your father!

Always the cut-up!

I think this was the last time we were close to the same height.

Some things don't change quite so much.

Again, some things never change.

Happy Birthday to my BABY - Daniel - age 22 on June 16, 2010

 I’m going to go cry myself into a puddle now because I can’t believe you’re twenty-two.  Ka-boo – one- two (inside joke).

I love you, baby! 

And, Happy Third Anniversary to Em and Kyle Wood!

Love,

Mom

Favorite Foto Friday is Back!

Favorite Foto Friday – 12/11/09

Joel, Dauna, Me, and Mark

 

Christmas 1962 – Joel, Dauna, Me, and Mark sitting by the Christmas tree at Nanaw and Tootsie’s house.  Joel and Mark dressed like a couple of Osmond Brothers and Dauna all sweet in her little dress and pretty little shoes.  Me – yes, just look at the look on my face.  My husband said I still make that face.  Maybe because I still don’t have my Christmas Tree set up this year.  Maybe because I haven’t been home except to sleep lately.  Maybe because I still have a lot of Christmas shopping to do this weekend.  But, as for the picture – I think it was the shoes!

Hope y’all are surviving the holiday rush. 

Somewhat like cat wrangling…..

Ever try taking pictures with kids?   Little kids.  Three of them under the age of 3.  Two of them boys and both age one. 

The seven year old knows his job.  Look cute.  Smile.  Hang on to baby brother.

Attention spans are very limited.

Tempers are short.

Nap time has long since passed.

Some sibling is always playing with ears.

Now the other ear.

Yep!  Cat Wrangling might be an easier job.

The kids are my adorable great-niece and nephews.
