Happy Birthday Greg!

Today is Greg's birthday. He was born six weeks early, and had to stay in the hospital for a few weeks. He is the fifth of eight, and just the perfect personality to be "stuck" in the middle. He is pretty easy-going, desires to be a peacemaker, and was (is) quite mischievous. When I asked his mother if he had a lot of ear infections as a baby, she told me that if he did, she never took him to the doctor. Her favorite story to tell of Greg is when he was a baby. Greg's older brother (just 18 months older than him) was climbing on the kitchen counter and they had the spiky, 1970s handles on their cabinets. Anyway...Brad jumped on one and it went though the bottom of his mouth. Greg was down for a nap. Greg's mom said that she could always count on Greg napping for 3 hours. So, she ran Brad to the Emergency Room and left Greg home asleep. Sure enough, they got home before Greg woke up. It's true to this day - he is still a great napper!

So stinkin' cute!

Greg's parents say that he was the child who got into the most trouble (although he claims that his older siblings just blamed everything on him), but they also say that he was the happiest child. Even if he was in trouble, he would just smile and go along with any punishment. He still does that, only I call it "ignoring" (j/k, j/k, j/k).

I know this isn't me (I was still in Elementary School), but how hot is he in this picture!!! The mullet, the gold chain, and the Miami Vice pink tank top. Oh baby, baby!!!

He really is a great guy, an amazing father, and I absolutely love him to pieces. He has such a great heart, and really tries so hard to make everyone around him happy. I've never met any man so sensitive about birthdays - he hates them! So, I'll just say that he's 30-something and post some pictures of his "glory" days. I love you, honey! Try to enjoy your birthday week!
