Josh at 27

1981 was a good year for grandkids: Elizabeth, Andy, Josh, and Matt. How I love all of you guys!
Josh is 27 today. Tons of memories return to this 54-year old's head, of waking up and hearing that Bev was in labor, of going to the hospital, of his birth, and of holding him for the first time and all the joy that went with it. And the memories still come back of so many birthday parties and special times.
My firstborn -- now married and a proud daddy, soccer coach and Bible teacher, tall and big blue eyes, an always happy and excited guy -- continues to be a blessing to us. We are so proud of Josh.
May his 27th birthday be filled with joy!
I love you man.

Hey Josh!
I'm sorry I didn't post anything until now! OOPS! I have mom brain...perhaps Kyleen has acquainted you with this lovely side effect of mothering! :) Anyhow...you are such a cool kid! I have so many good memories of how much fun we'd have when your family made the trek to CO. Now I am having fun comparing baby photos with you on FB. Let's stay friends, 'kay?
