#280...whew.

 

Ah, this time, 22 years ago, we celebrated a new life - a new gift, in small and wonderous ways.. an identical  Easter weekend - 

A Saturday of birthday wishes - A Sunday of Easter wishes with the onset of labor during Easter Mass -  that continued into this morning... 22 years ago.

We celebrated, our first-born, a daughter.

Miss Dana
8 pounds - 6 ounces

Happy Birthday, my little one -

my best, most cherished, Easter blessing.
