Jordan Did Have A Birthday - Oct.23, 2006

Papa was in the Philippines on Jordan's 19th birthday. I thought her mother would blog a greeting to the world about this important event. If she didn't surely Rose would remember to post a photo with some greetings. If these two failed, Caitlin, who is computer literate, would notice there was a vacancy on the blog that would cause her to write memories and admit to the challenges of being the only child at home. Aunt Lee Ann is one who never misses a birthday and would surely cover for the flaws of those mentioned. But all of them had excuses. Papa asked Laurie about this and she pled not guilty, an expression learned from her husband, of all charges. Not guilty because of her busy schedule running a high school and being a consultant to a middle school as well as a grade school. Rose pled innocent of this misdomeanor because of ignorance and computer illiteracy. Caitlin's excuses where so numerous that I can't list them all. So here is Papa, a month late, recognizing the birth of the eldest grandchild.
JB all of us are so proud of you that you are on our minds and in our thoughts daily and it doesn't take a birthday to stimulate our best wishes for you.

Love, Papa Posted by Picasa

From the "It's the thought that counts" department: I thought about posting something several times, but never got around to it. Thank you Papa for breaking the silence!

Jordan, Rainey is bouncing off the walls with excitement at the thought of seeing you before we leave for Idaho on Monday. Come see us.

I'm not bouncing off the walls,but I would if I weren't afraid of hurting myself. The emotion is there. Come see us too!Rose

Jordan said...

I'm excited about being home! I'll get in around 7 tomorrow night hopefully, and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.

Jordy,
I did call and obnoxiously placed everyone on the phone to tell you Happy Birthday... please tell me that counts for something! I'm sad that we won't see you for Thanksgiving but we will look forward to Christmas. We may be somewhere in the Metroplex (or close to Abilene) for football on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. You could see Bailey cheer and Hutton suited up for Varsity. Can't wait to hear all about college life. Love you!

P.S. No bouncing Rose!
