A 1st for Lincoln

Here he is: the FGs. Lincoln turned one year old on Monday, but the celebration started the Saturday before.

I think he's glad the big #1 is finally here!

Don't we all love cake?

The Happiest of Birthdays Daily Cap(s) (78)

This is my grandson. His name is Lincoln. Today is his birthday. He and his mom and dad are doing fine. This kiddo owned the day and the hearts of everyone.

From the in-law side of the family, this is Uncle David. As of today he is 79 years, 364 days older than Lincoln...we had a party for the both them. He will own the day tomorrow for sure.

Now this would be the four siblings: Uncle David, Aunt Shirley, OFFIL Paul, and Aunt Maureen. Good times (and I think they all stole a sip or two of the Chivas)

Now this, by golly, is a crew! OFFIL Paul's family attending his brother's birthday celebration. I think we ended up ordering more BBQ (we were missing one great granddaughter).

The Birthday Daily Cap(s) (71)

Little Madi turned six...while at Chuckie Cheese best I could tell (she didn't bring her husband to the party)

Making fun happen at the photo booth...at Chuckie Cheese for crying out loud (and the birthday girl is no where in sight)

The Maybe Daily Cap (51)

32 years ago I started singing "You Are My Sunshine" to my baby girl. Whenever she would fuss, I would sing. And miraculously she would stop...most likely from disbelief of such a horrific sound coming from her "pops". As an infant, as a toddler, as an adolscent, as a teenager, as a high school senior, as a college student and grad, as a long-distance caller, and still to this day, I sing her that song! Happy Birthday Sweets! "...you make me happy when skies are gray". (this morning's sunrise pushing away the clouds BTW)
