After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see…” (Book of Matthew)

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday NY Grandpa, happy birthday to you!

We want to wish NY Grandpa a happy birthday and to thank him for all he has done for us in the past few years.

He lives 6 1/2 hours away but at a moment’s notice will drop everything and come help. In fact, he tells us that his overnight bag is packed and ready to go.

He has been here for Carmen’s hospitalizations and sicknesses. One night Carmen was coughing and coughing. I was sitting in the rocker with her (this was before night nursing care). NY Grandpa came in Carmen’s room and said, “Go to bed. I’ll hold her.” I went to bed, only intending to sleep a few hours. I woke the next morning and found NY Grandpa sound asleep in the rocker with Carmen on his chest. He had slept all night sitting up holding Carmen. I wish I had taken a picture.

He has been here when Dave has to travel.

He was here many times when I was on bed rest.

Most of my MOPS friends know NY Grandpa.

He is known as the pie-maker around here!

Lauren refers to the basement room as Grandpa’s bed room. She once said that Grandpa lives in the basement and goes home to visit Grandma.

He loves playing with his grand kids. Crafts, geocaching, polly pockets, etc. He is often “Prince Charming” at our house.

Thank you NY Grandpa. We hope you have a very happy birthday!

Here is a photo of NY Grandpa and Hope.

My little brother turns 20 years old today.

This is the mischievous kid who put newborn kittens in the mailbox for the mailman, poked holes in his water bed just to see what was inside, poured a container of bleach on the laundry room carpet, turned on the iron (face down) on our parents’ wooden dresser, called his big sister “mom” and cried when she went off to college, stuck out his tongue in his school pictures, loves No-Bake cookies, reads mind-boggling theological books, writes amazing science fiction (I think that is what he would call his writings), and makes everyone laugh.

Happy 20th birthday Micah!!!!!!
