Ten Things of Thankful: These Things Remind Me of You

I'm thankful I think of you every time I see (or hear, as the case may be): 

 1.  Transformers


2.  A trumpet

3.  A song from The Fantasticks

4.  A red felt hat

5.  A Pink Floyd CD

6.  Jelly bellies

7.  Anything Japanese

8.  A statue of a lamassu
9.  Anyone talking about med school
10.  Anyone talking about their first baby

 Happy birthday to you, my first-born. We might have been were all sleep-deprived those first few months, but you opened our eyes to this wonderful thing called parenthood.  We love you and are so proud of you!

      Roger Waters et. al. came up in conversation rather frequently when my oldest son was in middle and high school.

    Love this, Kristi! And I love the sly, one-eyed look he's giving the camera in that first little family picture!
    You and John were also babies in this picture!
    Happy birthday to your son!

      That was about as close as he came to sleeping for the first few months! :-)

      22 and 26, but we did look like teenaged parents, didn't we?
