He was always so impressed that they flew flags on his birthday. I think, even now as an adult, he secretly believes in his heart that the flags are there for him --- and perhaps to me as well.Joanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07948553013206247354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526785811735329940.post-50677388725810536282009-10-31T18:15:36.581-07:002009-10-31T18:15:36.581-07:00Greta:
Congratulations on your near Halloween add...Greta:<br /><br />Congratulations on your near Halloween addition/edition. I love this holiday as you do. It brings back great memories and I'm glad you enjoyed them.<br /><br />I gained no weight with this baby. At six months I was wearing a bikini. I couldn't get anyone to believe I was delivering a baby that night. <br /><br />It was a Navy hospital and my daughter's father was admitted with pneumonia the same night. The hospital was busy, very busy. The nurse just wouldn't believe me until my water broke in the ladies room. She had a lot of explaining to do to the doctor.<br /><br />The doctor's name was Campbell by the way, my maiden name. Fate!<br /><br />-fMfootnoteMavenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16136826114954180827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526785811735329940.post-17606375674415842822009-10-31T17:50:04.458-07:002009-10-31T17:50:04.458-07:00Ah, my younger daughter was born on the 26th. She...Ah, my younger daughter was born on the 26th. She was five days old when she wore her first Halloween costume, a pumpkin costume. And today, at age 17, she has again dressed up in costume (a very inventive black and purple creation she designed herself) to hand out Halloween candy to the neighborhood children. Halloween is a big event in our family, too! Loved this story! (Ya gotta wonder about that nurse.)Greta Koehlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.com
