Happy Birthday Dan


I could not find an old picture of you with a cake, but this looks like a birthday present anyways.

I don't know if you remember this or not, but a few minutes after this your older brothers and sister saved your life (more then likely we were to keep you out of the water). You wondered into the cold water of Red Fish lake and you tripped and fell face forward into the cold water, we ran in there to save you. You owe us big time!!!! Maybe we each should be getting one of your birthday presents each year, do you still have that ball thing pictured above...that looks fun.
David is keeping you safe in this one, he learned his life savings techniques from mom with the arm around the neck there keeping your from falling. I guess we are really glad we saved your life all those times, we have all really enjoyed having a little Dan in our lives even if he does not know it not nice to beat his older brother in his first SPUD!!!
After a couple of years of being the little guy, your got what you always wanted, someone to tease and be the older brother to. When you cant have your own teething ring, take your sisters and then smile for the camera.

Happy birthday Dan, We are looking forward to seeing our littlest brother next month.

Another great birthday post, Michael. I'm glad you make these for your sibs. It was fun to wander down "Danny memory lane." Dan is a wonderful man and we all love him. Happy birthday, son.

I had a great birthday! Mostly I stayed home and tinkered around the house.

We had a rainy weekend but the sun came out sunday evening and we went for a walk in glorious weather!

Thanks for the calls and kind words. :)

Happy BIRTHDAY again Dan! I think Mike has lots of fun looking for old pictures and he's done a great job again this time. There is no doubt that your brothers and sisters really loved you then as they do now.
See you in a few weeks, and I love you,
Dad

Thanks to all of you who kept Dan safe so he could grow up and marry me! I really appreciate it! I'll post pictures of Dan's birthday celebration when he gets home so I can access his camera!
