Happy Birthday to Mom

Let's take a walk down memory lane, shall we?

(be sure to take note of the hairstyles)

Awwwwwwwww!!!!

Many years later, as a working gal:

Finally, settled down, married, kids.... domestic bliss....

A few more years later, Steevie Weevie came along and rocked our world.

... and rocked it . . . and rocked it . . . and

good grief, dad grew a mustache.

A few more years later, the grandkids started arriving. .

Gee. . . who is that in the background, getting into all our family pictures again??? Yes, it's a grown-up cousin David. Remember him from this post? Yeah, well, he's still hanging around. (although in this photo, he looks more like a cardboard cutout)

So here's J, also all grown up. You might wonder "Where did he get that sense of style from??" . . .

You guessed it - from the matriarch herself, Nana, previously seen at your local Starbucks.

There followed many years of inlaws, grandkids, family meals, holiday dinners . . .

Fun, fun times. (btw - carleen is not a midget in real life)-

-

More holidays, more grandkids . . .

. . . talented grandkids.

-

Did I say how very, very talented these grandkids are?

By golly, that cousin just won't go.

Then Steevie Weevie produced another granchild and really rocked our world.

One thing has remained constant in your..... how many years??? . . .

in sickness and in health . . .

Happy Birthday, mom!

Wish I was there, I'm sure Cousin David is.

I love you.
