Happy Birthday to my first baby...

 Believe it or not, that's me...40 years ago today...
on my way to Tripler Army Hospital in Hawaii
to have a baby.  Don't I look calm and collected?
yikes!
 And a few months later...this is that baby
and me, at home in our apartment
in Aiea, Hawaii.  What a sweet baby
he was.

 39 years ago, that baby turned one year old.
( I still have that outfit!)
Because he was born on Flag Day
he always thought the flags were out
for him....who could tell him otherwise?

He grew up, graduated from Northfield High School
and then Luther College.  Went on to get married
and have 4 sons of his own.
Happy Birthday, Chad...You are my baby always.....
Love, mom

  1. It's 1988. Do you know where your mullet is?

    Thanks for all the nice photos, mom (except for the bottom one, of course). Thanks for remembering my birthday. We'll see you soon. And yes, J did love the card more than anyone.

  3. Wow, nice angle on that "going to the hospital" shot, you do not look 9 months pregnant at all!
    Happy birthday to Chad!
