Our baby is 32! Jennifer Mary turned 32 yesterday. She is our Flag Day Baby since she was born on June 14'th. And she is our Bicentennial Year Baby since she was born in 1976, the year of the U.S. Bicentennial. And she is our Arizona Baby since she was born in Tucson, AZ in the heat of the Arizona summer. Back then there were these contraptions on Arizona house roofs that were called swamp coolers. In the southwest desert it was the poor man's version of air conditioning. So in the one photo you see her dressed in just her diaper as we were trying to keep her from having a baby meltdown on her first Fourth of July.

Jennifer Mary was our firstborn so she didn't have siblings to welcome her home to our Raggedy Ann and Andy nursery. But we did have this little mixed breed pup (part lab and part dachshund) named Shiloh to welcome her home to Huachuca City, AZ. And there she learned to sit up, crawl, talk and walk. All activities that Jennifer's son, Jack Aidan, is now trying to do just like Mommy. Happy Birthday Jennifer Mary!
