His mama would have enjoyed opening her baby shower presents and having cake with all of us, but he had other ideas.
Master G.K. could wait no longer to arrive.
Happy birthday, nephew!

July 20, 1969: Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon and my nephew leapt out of his mama’s womb. Both were “earth” shaking events. Today he is a police captain in Texas.

This weekend Trifecta’s editors honor the first steps of Neil Armstrong and asked us to write of some monumental leap. I’ve been talking all day about my nephew’s birth. What a great way to honor him while remembering that great day for “all mankind.”
Using the theme for your journal – very clever! 🙂
What a lovely heartwarming story. Those two events must be inextricably linked in the minds of your family.
He crashed his first party. (And gave his mom a story to tell to all his future dates!)
Full of love and warmth
wonderful story
I like how much warmth you conveyed in 33 words
Welcome!! A welcome baby shower is so much more fun anyway. Because then, while Mom is doing all that boring stuff like opening presents, the guests can HOLD THE BABY!!
And so it begins… from Day One, moms having to drive all over town for the kids.
When I was a kid I had a friend that was born July 20, 1969. She still had a mark on her temple from where the doctor yanked her out with forceps so he could watch the moon walk.
Happy birthday to your nephew.
Thanks for sharing this with us. We hope to see you back for the longer challenge this week.
He wanted to watch too!
I enjoyed your LEAP story.
