HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRAMPA!


Elle has known for a while that first it was Daddy's birthday, then Grampa's birthday, and then it would be hers. She is convinced that they are each turning four. "Daddy be four, Grampa be four, then Elle be four." Ken's birthday was late last month and my Dad's birthday is today (don't tell him that I told you).

ElleAnna called Grampa before 7am today just to sing him happy birthday. When she was finished singing, I heard him say "Thank you, Sweetheart." Immediately, she started asking me if she could push the button to hang up. We got a new cordless phone recently and she loves to be "in charge" of the buttons now.

Here is a photo of Elle with Grampa. He always has two or three things in the bib pocket of his overalls and Elle has to check every time she sits on his lap. His cell phone is there, usually a pen/pencil, and then, the little black book where he writes cow numbers in. She reads to him from the little black book during basketball games. She also likes to change the ring tones on his cell phone, but we try to discourage that. :-)

Happy Birthday, Grampa! We hope that you have a wonderful, safe, and uneventful day - since your birthday is usually jinxed, but that's a whole post of its own.
