It is almost February . Can't believe that the year is moving along so quickly.
Jan is the birthday month for 2 of my children. Tricia (15) and Lynn(30). Each birthday brings memories to my mind of each one.
Tricia, was my pink baby. She looked beautiful in pink , had pink skin and was my smallest baby. The nurses loved her. She and I went through some trauma the 1st two years of her life. I was Relief Society President and she was hungry. I didn't know how to not stress so we went to the bottle. Then she would take the bottle to bed with her and by the time she was 3 she had 7 cavities in her little mouth. She has however recovered from her Mothers' inadequacies(thank goodness children are resilient)
She was always very animated and wanting to perform. She sings beautifully and has an ability to express herself that is wonderful. She is compassionate to those old people she cares for and the less fortunate. She had such a great little family, 1 husband Matthew and 3 darling girls, Jocilyn, McKenna and Maesyn. Love you Tricia,


Lynn,
This little girl came to our home last. She immediately brought excitement to our lives by not breathing several times in the 1st few months she was here. So we all learned to check on her and we are glad that she made it through those scarey times.
She has always been a defender of her Mother(ever if I was the oldest Mother among her friends). She is confident, a leader ( we always maintained that she could get a whole group of people to follow her down the street in their swimsuits is she wanted to. ) She too is a singer, very sensitive to others, doesn't want to be at odds with anyone. We have learned also not to tell her she can't do something because she will somehow get it done. Amazing determination . She is creative and very talented in many areas. She too has been blessed with a great family, one husband (Jake), and one very cute little Annabelle. THere is another one on the way so we are excited about that . love you Lynn
