Another Birthday

We have surely had a lot of  birthdays lately. Today it was my son Dustin's and he was 34. It was on that bad day too but that can't be helped. It seems like it was not long ago that he was just a little tike running around causing all kinds of problems.


With seven kids and 21 grand kids it seems like someone is always having a birthday. There is not many months we skip. Next ones coming up is in October. Some of the grand kids don't live close so I don't really get to see them. But if there is a party going on I usually go.


Today on Dustin's birthday I took them out to Spring Creek BBQ to eat. His wife Lana, his daughter Ella and myself. It was nice eating there. They keep bringing hot rolls to the table. So good with lots of butter. I don't really have to watch my weight as of yet.


I had enough left of my plate for tomorrow too so don't have to worry about lunch tomorrow. I think I had enough for two or three people. Some people say I eat like a mouse but I eat enough to get my tummy full and enough to where I am gaining weight. I remember a couple of years ago I could not eat enough to even gain a pound. Those days are over though.


My next child's birthday will be my son John. His birthday is in December. He should have been a Christmas baby. He was supposed to be born on December 24th just like his Dad. The doctor I went too in Abilene insisted on inducing my labor on the 14th though. He said we didn't want to be there at Christmas. That is ten days early and I don't think that is too good for the baby's health. He was okay though but weighed 6 lbs. 4 oz. Anyway come December 14th we will have another birthday for one of my kids. He will be 42. My goodness. It seems like a few years ago I was that age.
