Birthdays are about Beginnings

Once upon a time a BYU student from California (returned missionary) married another BYU student from Virginia. She worked, he finished school. Years later she would graduate...because the babies came first. I am thankful for the priorities my parents placed on family life! This porch saw a lot of action for photo-ops! I think my mom is beautiful! And she looks good in pink! A young mom, with a huge happy baby, and yes, that is a milk spit-up. No wonder I am smiling!
(Is this Great Grandma Davidson or Great Grandma FOX? It is labeled D, but I think it is F! Whose porch--would that help document??? Is there an F hiding behind Mom's left foot? Help me historian family members!)


I am thankful for Mom (Grandma Jane-to-my kids)and her wisdom and peacefulness. She is smart, thoughtful, insightful. She loves to read and go on shopping adventures (treasure hunting in thrift stores). When I miss Emma away at school, I think about the times I have missed my mom, living so far away. Tomorrow/Thanksgiving they will be together, to celebrate the peace and plenty we share and to sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope it is a great gathering! Love you lots!
