Happy Birthday, Carla!

August 6, 1982 - 10:33 pm - our daughter Carla Erin was born - life changed forever at that instant  - and today she is 30 years old - it can't be, she just came home with us.

She came home from the hospital in the green sweater set that Mom made, her hospital bracelet in on the cap, I can't believe how tiny it is, I haven't looked at that in a long time... Click on the pic for a closer view. 


We were amazed we had a little red head - although she had no hair for the first two years!


Freckles galore..



These birthdays were all celebrated in Prince Edward Island - every summer we would pack up and head east to visit all the relatives - Carla always ended up with numerous cakes and birthday celebrations when she was there.  Her standard birthday meal was spaghetti, not any more.....



Now she wants a lobster for her birthday!!!


Carla's going to see The Bangles and B'52's!!  

We love our Carla - she is a beautiful young woman, smart and funny - we wish all of the very best things for her, always!!   Happy Birthday!
