Today is my oldest sons, Andy (which is my oldest child), birthday. He is 22. This time of year always brings back the same memory of him when he was a baby. Being born in the fall, in Wyoming, to an avid hunter father (Wynn), we took Andy hunting. I so needed out of the house, so we strapped him in his carseat in the truck & took off. Now, before anyone panics about what a horrible mother I am, I'm sure that will become obvious over time as the blog goes on, Andy was not a newborn by this time & we sat in the truck while his dad hunted. I can still smell the smells & hear the sounds every year around his birthday. The crunching of the leaves, the animals in the forest....he was so content the whole time & I could just think & read. But it always makes me nastalgic this time of year....every year. Anyway,
I have some pictures on my camera from yesterday, I just need to figure out how to get them from the camera, to the computer, to the blog, then I will post them. We had his birthday dinner, cake & ice cream yesterday, except being sick I forgot to get a second #2 candle, so he made do with just one candle. He is engaged to be married in November, so his fiancee, Leza, was here to help us celebrate. It was a pretty good day. So.....Happy Birthday Andy!!
And look what I did! Here is a picture...

My memory of Andy as a baby? When we were at Grandpa's funeral and you and I were both pregnant and throwing up and you had to bathe Andy in the shower that morning and then I took him from you to dress while you finished up in the shower. That and us teasing you that he might be born on labor day!
Oh how I remember that!!! I was soooo sick & he was only 5 months old at that time! I could hardly hold my head up.
Nice new pic! Wynn looks thrilled...how much did you have to pay him?
I have very few memories of Andy as a baby. Good thing I'm not as old as the rest of you! (hee!)

T--Ya, pay him!!! It was the night before the first day of school, WAY past his bed time & Tanner needed a picture for school. I had to elbow him right as Andy snapped the picture to have him that awake!! & the old comment? Really? I know where you sleep.
