Birthday Buddies!

It was just a year ago - yesterday - that I was in Redwood City for a fun stay to help when Ralph was born. And it seems like yesterday! Time always flies in the face of the growth of these wee ones!

 

And three years ago I was in Virginia, helping after Polly was born.  

I have so enjoyed retirement - which allows me to stay for longer visits with new babies. 

And I love that we have a couple of "birthday buddies" in the family!!

Polly and Ralph are wonderful additions to the grandchild roster!

Happy Birthday Eve - and Helen!

Helen would have been 102 today - and Eve is 15!  Birthday buddies always - Eve is fortunate to share a lovely legacy with her great-grandmother.

And Eve is such a lovely girl - so proud of her!

Happy day to you - and all year through!

Another birthday buddy!!

Over the years, I have met some birthday buddies.  My sister-in-law and I are even born the same year!  A woman moved into our ward a year or so ago and we figured out we were birthday pals!!  And then there was a man in our ward who came up to me a few years ago and said, "My birthday is May 23rd also!"

 

So I was pleased to discover, while reading the biography of President Eyring, that  his mother, Mildred Bennion Erying, was born on May 23rd also!!

 

It's always nice to find yourself in good company!!
