Three Years Ago Today

October 11, 2007 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Gratitude, Minnesota Me, Special Events 12 Comments

I was hastily placing a last-minute order on-line—mittens from Hannah Anderrson for the cold Fall days ahead—as I bounced from foot to foot through the contractions.

My husband then sped us up the road to United Hospital, while I blinked through the discomfort and tried to appreciate the beautiful, pink sunrise.

Two hours later, my baby girl was born.

My blue-eyed, blonde-haired baby girl.

My baby is three today.

Happy Birthday, Angela! We love you, you little imp.

Ad Jesum per Mariam,

    Happy Birthday, Beautiful Angela!

    Margaret, my baby is three also. Closer to four actually. Bittersweet, isn’t it? Seems like just yesterday…

    Happy birthday to your beautiful baby girl, Angela. My baby, Angela, just turned 5 last month. Time sure flies fast with these precious little girls.

    Happy Birthday, little imp! Gotta love those blond-haired, blue-eyes beauties.

    Tell me, Margaret, that she just took a swig of yummy red wine in that picture!

    Happy Birthday Angela!!! You and my Clare are only 6 weeks apart!!! I hope you can blow out some candles today “all by yourself, no other children but you” (as my daughter put it)!

    What a beautiful 3 year old! Happy Birthday to her!!

    And, it sure does look like she just took a swig of wine! I bet its cranberry or grape juice in a special birthday cup.

    Of course she took a swig of wine! My daughter is a HUGE opportunist…and a patient one at that. She’ll watch to see where Mommy & Daddy leave their coffee, their Mountain Dew, their wine…she’ll wait…and then she’ll pounce.

    She is soooo cute, and I miss having a three-year-old around. Belated happy birthday wishes to your sweetie!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
