Happy Birthday Gus!


12 years ago tonight, I gave birth to our first son. He gave us quite a bit of a scare as he was born with the cord around his neck - all limp and white and quiet. He pulled through beautifully, though and we are very blessed.


Today Gus enjoyed a new football, a set of Star Wars legos (I can't imagine why!), along with plenty of pizza, brownies and ice cream and a big game of Uno, which he won. An Amazon package which should be arriving soon carries another present that he requested - his very own "real" Bible.


He'll be heading to the Milwaukee Public Museum with some friends this weekend. We do seem to milk our season passes for all they're worth. :)
