HAPPY BIRTHDAY #51

 Today is our younger son's birthday.

I can't believe that my "baby" is 51 today.

As we always say...where did the time go?

Mark is so compassionate, creative and has the best dry sense of humor around.

Love him with all of my heart.  I only wish he and Kellie lived closer.  Out of state makes it difficult to be connected.  We are so grateful for the digital way of communicating.

This photo is Mark at just a few hours old...



51 years later ... 

Have a great day!

Happy Birthday blessings to your 'baby boy'! Isn't it amazing how alert he looks at only a few hours old. That's a precious picture.

Happy Birthday Mark. Every time I realize our adult chidren are "Seniors' I take a deep breath, and thank the Lord I've lived long enough to see them!

Aww happy birthday to your son, Mark.
My first born son would have been 47 this year. My middle son will be 44 on Nov 23 and the “baby” as we jokingly refer to him as, just turned 40 in September. But I still see the “little boy” in them. They’ll always be my boys. ❤️❤️❤️

Our daughter we live with is not 50 yet...but isn't it so hard to believe they are that old.

I will tell you a little story that makes me laugh every time I think about it. My husbands cousin had a house close to his mom's house. I think one house between them. And his cousin had bought property and moved but still had to take care of the place there by her. She was looking out her window towards their house and thought, "Well, who is that old man mowing their yard?" Then she realized that old was her baby boy! I wish you could have heard her tell it....it was so funny.
