The first thing I thought of this morning when I woke up around 5 am was that 28 years ago my Telly was born at 5:09 am, in the living room of our little house at 2639 Burton Avenue...I was on the floor on some kind of sheet over our pink and white checkered shower curtain which protected the gold carpet...what a memory...a day of joy...and what a surprise to have a baby girl! Of course, the chances were 50/50 that I would have had a girl, but after 5 little boys in a row were born into the family in the previous 3 years (Garon, Ardell, Brandon, Jared, and Colten), and Chantel used to kick SO HARD, I was just certain I was having a boy. Then..having a girl was surreal and fabulous! You were a wonder and a delight then, and you still are. Happy Birthday, Daughter.
Chantel, twenty years ago I was 28, the same age you are now. This picture is from your 8th birthday in 1987.

Awwww! Thanks, Mama! And what cute pictures! You must have scanned them in...?
Yes, I scanned them, and found some other fun ones as well...those will have to wait, I guess. In the meantime, I'm working on getting all the familyu photos scanned into folders. Big job, but little by little. :-)
Such great photos! She was always lovely, it would seem, and always mothering!
