*Personalized Sketches and Sentiments: Happy Birthday to "theluckiestmrs"!!! aka our sweet firstborn :o)

This blog is "a bit about me", my family, & the Personalized Sketches...that's All about You!

I am truly blessed, a wife of 33+ yrs, married to a wonderful retired Army aviator, mom of 1 fund-raising son, 1 accountant daughter-in-law, 1 Dentist daughter and 1 Dentist son-in-law, 1 Dentist daughter and 1 Doctor (Dermatology resident) son-in-law, and our first granddaughter born March 10th...2 and a half years later, twins: granddaughter and grandson born Dec 5, grandson born Feb 8, and granddaughter born June 18!

I was a SAHM for many years. But when our children got older, I became a licensed dental hygienist. (I really love meeting those who come in for their pearly white cleanings!)

I'm a self-taught artist, blessed that others are interested in the Personalized Sketches artwork I do...each one is drawn entirely with a name. (have been taking orders for these since 1985).

Verse Of The Day

All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
Deuteronomy 8:1-3 (KJV)

Happy Birthday to "theluckiestmrs"!!! aka our sweet firstborn :o)

*Edited* I thought to add this photo of our birthday girl aka "theluckiestmrs" aka our sweet firstborn... (I had hoped to get a photo of her on her birthday this year, but since she and her hubby have been getting ready to go on their summer honeymoon cruise, I wasnt able to get one, so I am posting this wedding photo of her. (right after their wedding on Dec 31st, with a short amount of time before classes started up again, they took a "minimoon" trip to New York and saved the slightly summer break to go on their honeymoon cruise).

...at 7 months

...this photo won 1st place at this studio's children's division (newborn to 12 yrs old) category. Hilo, Hawaii

I was able to find some past birthday pics... (although, our other girly-whirly-aka "LittleMiss" happens to have some of our albums back at her place in Kentucky, so I'll post what I have. :o)

I love our son's expression as he looks at his "big sister" :o)

My daughter lives in Lexington Kentucky and I live north of Chicago so am very familiar with Wisconsin. How long have you been blogging? I started in March. Enjoying it so far!; July 20, 2009 at 9:26 PM

Jean Campbell said...: Happy Birthday to your daughter. Thank you for visiting my Blog, Mary Zelda. There are many more photos and family memories to add when I gather the courage to continue. Why, our father hasn't yet married my mother (his second wife). When we reach the point where I am born, Mary Zelda blog will end but we're a ways away from that.

I have cousins in Savannah, and spent many great visits there, years ago and some more recent.

Congratulations on your graduation. Your handsome son is the age of my grandson, who has just finished his second year of college also.
