HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYM KRYSTINE!

Since it's my only daughters birthday I felt I needed to express my love to her on this beautiful birthday blog site!! I will never forget July 31st, 1967. I was home with my mom, living with her because Frank was on his way to VietNam. It was horrible. However, I did survive, but I don't know how. My inborn stamina and positivity I guess. I didn't know God back then. My one insane comment as my water broke and we were on our way to the hospital was, "this isn't so bad. It's just like in the movies!!" Little did I know. It was pretty bad having a baby without a husband there, but I did make it through with my mom and my best friend, Joan. Kym was born breach, with only a 12 hr. labor, not too shabby :-) I was put under though just right before she was born. Crazy what they did back in the day!! So my little girl, I will be forever thankful that God gave you to me. We had the best of times together, you and me, during those days that your dad was gone. I don't know how it would feel not to have a daughter, I'm so glad I don't have to know. Precious, loving, tender, caring, creative, sweet, awesome, god fearing, wonderful mom and wife. . . you are all those things are more. What did I ever do to deserve you?? God only knows!! Happy Birthday sweetheart!!

MY FAMILY

Don't you just love "gadgets?" What else could I have put here? I wanted little stick people so here they are!! I guess I could have added 14 granchildren but not really because it wouldn't let me do that!! So laugh away, it's pretty funny!! (Don't you especially love the halo!!)

MIDDLE OF JULY!

Could it already be the middle of July? How did that happen? I think I closed my eyes. I guess that's life. So, it's summertime, fun, fun! Lots of birthday this month, but that's not unusual either. We love birthdays in this family! So let's enjoy all that God has for us this summer!
