September Birthdays

We had "5" birthdays to celebrate in the month of September! Dad's birthday was on the September 1st, Labor Day. Dad would have been 92. I love this photo because it shows Dad with the grand kids. They sure did love their grandpa. Gosh look how young all these kids were. Jeramy and AshLyn are on the top row. Nicholas and Harmony, my sister Bonnie's kids are to the side of AshLyn and Jeramy. Mandy and Megan my sister Deb's kids are on each side of Dad and Jordan, Debs son, and Laura Bonnie's youngest are sitting on Dad's lap. It seems like yesterday and now Dad's gone and their all grown up most of them have babies of their own. How we miss our daddy and grandpa.
Speaking of young, look at this picture. 14 years ago on September the 8th we got two bundles of Joy when Raquel our daughter in law, Rod's wife gave birth to two energetic boys. Christopher and Benjamin.
Here are the twins with their older brother Sam. We try to take the grand kids that live around us out for lunch and do something fun for their birthday. Wish we could do that with all the grand kids but when their parents decide to take them and move away that makes it a little hard. We took the boys to see the movie Fly Boys. There was a part in the movie where there were two brothers and one of the brothers get killed, Les and I looked over at Ben and Chris and they were both crying. I think they were crying because they knew how they would feel if anything happened to one of them or their brother Sam. They are very close to each other. They says that twins have a language all of their own and when they were little they really did. The twins are all boy! They love sports, school, Chris is in band and Ben is in the male choir. They are loving, sympathic and just all around great kids. Aren't they handsome young men?!?
September 18th my little brother Burt celebrated his birthday. I love this picture of my Dad, my brother Burt, and my son Doug the little platinum blonde. There is about about a year and five months difference in their ages. What cute little boys.
And our Brynlee celebrated her "9th" birthday on the 21st of September. This was and is one proud Daddy. When she was born Jeramy just kept saying I can't believe she's mine. Rebecca said Jeramy would come home from work or school and go right to Bryn. She said he would change her diapers, take her with him to the library the only time he needed Rebecca was when Bryn needed to eat and if he could have nursed her would have. I love it when you watch your children find out what you already know, and that is that you never thought you could love anything like you love your children, well that is until your grand children come along:-)
Is this not the most tender picture of Papa!?!? Let me tell you these precious grand babies have brought out the most beautiful tender side of Les and I love it. Papa fell asleep holding Bryn while she slept. Here she is our beautiful, sassy, fun loving, tender, talented "9" year old soon to be "13" Brynlee. Happy birthday to all our September Birthdays we love you!!!
