HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TWO GRANDKIDS!

It's a crazy week here-
or I'm crazy-still trying to figure out which it is.

Anyway,
Today is the 5th birthday of 
CHARLES IN CHARGE.
He was a bouncing 10#3oz kid.
He looked like he was 2 months old
when he was born.

LOOK how cute he is NOW!
On top of being cute
he is funny and kind and loving.
Happy Birthday, Charlie.
Yesterday 
 we celebrated the birthday of our
17 year old granddaughter,
Aleena.
Isn't she a beauty?
Guess what-
In this world where you hear all the 
HORRIBLE THINGS
about teenagers
she doesn't fit the mold.
She is a GOOD kid-
with good morals and a loving heart.
We need more Aleenas 
in the teenage world.

Love you both to the moon and back!

We have two more birthdays
in the next 10 days.
Somebody snuggled up tight
on some cold February nights.
And that's all I'm gonna say
'bout that!

Happy Birthday to two lucky grandkids. Yes, I know of about 5 birthdays in the 10 days before and after the 12th of November. I predict in February and March of 1948, there was a very bad weather forecast.
