One of my favorites


Shannon’s 21st birthday. Gary and I flew in and teamed up with Ron and Steve to surprise her. We just walked into the bar where she was celebrating the birthday with her girlfriends. When she saw us, she did this double take that was almost as amazing as the look we got from Kenny when we surprised him for his birthday (or the look I got from Marilyn, Mary, and Mary Ann the time I surprised them at a Chippendales show). She then let out a scream and ran over to hug us. I’m sure her girlfriends didn’t have a clue what was going on.

And a Happy Birthday Dad!

For many years I would call Daddy at midnight to wish him a Happy Birthday as well as a Happy New Year. I eventually stopped once they moved to Chicago because I woke him a couple years in a row. I do still think of him (and Mommy) at midnight though. Wish I could call and wake them now.

Look to the right

Following up on Marilyn’s suggestion that we document everyone’s birthdates, I’ve now added a section to the sidebar on the right that has a countdown to everyone’s birthday. If you want to know what the exact date for someone is, simply click on the “Upcoming Birthday’s” title and you will be taken to the thread where everyone posted the birthdays of their immediate family members (sorry Shannon, I left your “family members” off the chart).

Birthdays

At the beginning of the month Ronnie made a comment on his birthday posting that he couldn’t remember the year of everyone’s birth. I think that’s a great challenge to post on our blog (we need to start getting some family history here). I’ll give it a shot (correct me if I’m wrong). I then challenge everyone to post their immediate family’s birth dates. Here goes:

Dad (Edwin) – 01/01/21, deceased 01/24/86
Mom (Eileen) – 12/16/24, deceased 12/09/84
Larry – 03/02/45
Marilyn – 02/23/49
Steve – 05/16/51
Kenny – 07/17/54
Gary – 10/04/57
Ronnie – 10/28/58

For history, we should add Susan: 12/24/45 (deceased shortly after birth). Am I correct? OK, let’s get our families on here! Then we can start going backwards and getting other relatives!

My very first blog!

I intentionally waited until today to post my very first blog…I wanted what I had to say to be special, something “family worthy”. Soooo, Gary, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

We love you!
Steve and Marilyn
