Today is Doris and Nolan's Birthday -

Doris with her two favorite daughters - oh that's right, her only two daughters. Nice picture which reminds me of the first Christmas when Mark and Doris were going together and we had the annual Umthun Trucking Christmas Party in Grandma's basement, food and dancing. Doris had long hair at the time and in a twirl she got her hair caught in his suit button. A little painful and hard to get it untangled without loosing too much.

Little Nolan on the left with his Mom Monica and sister Celine. When we were in the planning stages, I was in Omaha talking with Monica and looking through old pictures one evening while we were waiting for Bernie to come home. I was explaining to Monica about Great Grandma and how she died in child birth along with other relatives and the kids were watching TV. When Bernie came through the door, Nolan ran to her and hugged her asking if she died. I was horrified, to think that he was listening to our conversation and that he would equate the "Grandma" to Bernie.
Happy Birthday little Nolan and give your grandma, Bernie a hug for me!
