My oldest son's birthday is today. He's 57 years old. I am so proud of him. I will just share a few shots through the years.
Marty and his own "little ones." The young lady shown here has just graduated college.
May you live happily ever after...dear son Marty.
And hi to Sepia Saturday again...sharing this blog with that meme!
Happy birthday to him!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being up in the wee hours...or maybe not since when Eastern Daylight Savings Time says 3:00 am, it may be normal hours where you are. Maybe?
DeleteNo, I'm Eastern time. Just woke up in the night and was awake awhile, so decided to check some blogs.
DeleteHappy birthday to your son Marty!
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your weekend!
Thanks so much Eileen. Same to you for wishes for a great weekend!
Delete...Happy Birthday and many more to come.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom...good of you to send your wishes also.
DeleteCongrats to Marty from the Great White North where it almost went down the freezing last night -- at the end of May! What whacky weather, from heat wave to figidity.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Marty is currently staying in St. Petersburg FL, and he said he forgot his hat, but brought lots of sun block. He would laugh if he knew how cold you were.
DeleteSuch wonderful photos! Happy happy birthday to your son Marty!!
ReplyDeleteThanks...I selected some of the same favorites, and maybe some new onew
DeleteHappy Birthday to Marty! It's fun to go through old photos and remember those times and how much we've learned and grown over the years.
ReplyDeleteI talked with Marty on his birthday and he does remember the plastic snake...but much later than that photo. I at least can identify the furniture in the background where my parents lived.
DeleteHappy Birthday to Marty. Time sure flies, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThanks...I know what you mean, since I'm just 39 myself!
DeleteHappy birthday to Marty. We're proud mums, whatever age our offspring reach.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. I'm very proud of the life Marty has had.
DeleteI think we start to realize we are getting old when our kids turn fifty! It has happened to me too.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
DeleteWhat a nice retrospective!
ReplyDeleteGood definition for this travel down memory lane!
DeleteCongratulations, Marty, and to your mom too! It must be fun to arrange your son's photos since for once you hardly need to research his family tree, and can put them all in proper chronological order!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, it is fun...plus I do this every year!
DeleteHappy Birthday to your son! My youngest daughter's birthday was also Friday. She turned 30. We have much to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteOh that's great, and I have so many memories. I do enjoy learning how Marty's own memories are different from mine!
DeleteHappy Birthday to Marty. I had to laugh at "Snakey" - the same creative naming my grandbaboo shows in naming her stuffed sloth - Slothy.
ReplyDeleteYes, but you haven't seen the one tiny stuffed doll, which was a little black and white bear. It could well have been a panda. But it's name ended up being Baboon I think.
DeleteHappy Birthday to our son Marty! And what a great present from you -- a series of wonderful photos capturing his life through the years.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pix of your son through the ages. My son had a snake like your son's. He called it a "snee" because at the time, he couldn't say the word "snake" and the name stuck. :) I love your blog photo at the top. I'd want to be out on that little island! It looks so cooling and right now that would be such a lovely thing what with temps, here, climbing high into the 90s lately! Bleah.
