Happy Birthday, Nora!

Totally random pictures here, Nora, because this post is being put together in haste....to meet your birthday deadline :)  Brewsters and Buris here so that the busy-ness of 10 extra people in the house has thrown my calendar dates off.  But I did remember...I always do.

                                      Oh the younger years when you were all, well, younger!

You were always a great one to spend time with the little one's.  I know what a special place you have in your heart for the times you spent with Andrew and Willie. 

You've gotten a lot of grief for the video showing you bouncing a ball on Brent's head.  But the fact is that Aloise and Brent were your special little ones.   To this day, you have said, they still are.  I don't know that any other member of the family spent so much time playing with them.   And it's funny how many lay claim to that special bond with Aloise and Brent.    Brent's, "I have too many mothers!" (although said in frustration at the time),  was an authentic statement.  

This one is a classic.  What a crew.   For all the times I've seen this picture this is the first time that seeing Clare using your head as an arm rest had me laugh :)

I don't know which of the 3 of you is cuter in this picture.  Your crossed legs, as you listen to Mary, is a riot.

Happy Birthday, Nora Magdaleen Magdalune.
