Shawn L. Bird

I was a little surprised when a little boy arrived in my household on this day in history, many moons ago.  It wasn’t as if I hadn’t had 9 months warning of the arrival, it’s just that I was expecting another girl.  I didn’t quite know how to wrap my head around this foreign creature with the strange anatomy.  But a baby is a baby, and he managed to wiggle into my heart without too much effort.  He was pretty cute and he was a charmer from the very beginning.  Who could resist a grin like this?  Happy Birthday, baby boy.
