April 12

When I turned 30, the extent of my celebratory reveling included cake and ice cream followed by the prompt putting up of my poor pregnancy-swollen feet. But when baby brother Pat turned 30, he decided to memorialize the event with skydiving in Hawaii!

I'm grateful today that 1) he and his wife, Kellie, made it safely to the ground and in one piece, and 2) that his cute little butt joined our family during the Easter season of 1976. Happy Birthday Patty-Boy!
