Happy 21st Birthday, Thomas!

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Twenty-one years ago today was supposed to be my baby shower! Instead, I spent it in labor with, believe it or not, our smallest baby! He started out at 6lb 7oz, and almost a month early, but now he is 6’4″ and still growing. Happy Birthday, Thomas! Love you so much!

Even though we celebrated today, no one was off the hook for school. We dropped Thomas at the library and borrowed some books and educational DVD’s. Then Bobby and Kelly had a very serious and competitive game of chess!
While we were out, we went to the post office, which is right next to the hardware store, and just around the corner from the library. It is fascinating to me how we can find almost anything in this tiny town by just walking a few blocks! The post office sells not just stamps and envelopes, but also school and stationary supplies…like a mini-STAPLES! I even got Thomas’ 21st birthday candles there.
The hardware store is 2 floors, and has just about anything you could need for your home. Not just tools, but also electronics, appliances, furniture, dishes, pots and pans, etc. We have gotten everything from electrical adapters and a hand mixer to a drying rack and paper plates in there!
We got our post card stamps from the nice lady at the desk.

And everyone put their post cards in the mail box. We’ll see how long they take to make it back to NJ!

  4. Happy 21st Birthday, Thomas! Just before we left for Ireland, we bumped into Dr. Keelan, who delivered you all those years ago…life’s full circle.

    God Bless, Buddy.

    Love you,
    Dad 🙂

  7. Happy 21st, Thomas! May all your dreams come true!
    Everyone looks quite well, happy, and dry!! In NJ, our ice covered snow disappeared overnight as a 60 degree day poured buckets of rain on us. Now, because of that, we have overflowing creeks and rivers. Surprising for January!

  10. Happy 21st Birthday Thomas – may it be a year full of blessings for you!

    Loved all the photos and news, Jen. Kelly looks like a very serious chess competitor and clearly Bobby appears to be impervious to any type of weather, since he never seems to be wearing a coat. Lucky boy! Thanks so much for including us in your adventures!
