Happy 18th Birthday, Sean!

Yesterday, April 1, started with a beautiful sunrise over the Irish Sea. The day that Sean was born was very much like this one! He was born at 10:36 pm and weighed 7 lbs 13 oz and had a full head of spiky, black hair.

When I called my Grandma to tell her Sean had been born, she said to me, “Oh, couldn’t you have waited just a little longer?” Her birthday was April 2, and she was hoping they would share a birthday. Today would have been Grandma’s 105th birthday, and this morning Sean said, “Hey Mom, because of the time difference, and me being born so late at night, today we could say we shared our birthday!”

The girls helped me set the table for our birthday celebration, complete with candles and fancy wine glasses.

Sean wanted to cook his own birthday dinner; chicken, mashed potatoes, and carrots. It was delicious!

And of course there was chocolate cake.

Happy 18th Birthday, Sean! We love you!

  2. Happy (belated) Birthday, Sean! You’re officially an adult now, so I think that means you’re free to boss around the younger ones as much as you want. –Uncle Marty
