Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge: May 7, 2017
Today being my son’s 48th birthday — and me clearly wondering how I got old enough to have a son who can sign up for AARP — today’s oddballs are the kind of pictures we all have tons of. Birthday pictures! Don’t we all have drawers full of these shots? Of the babies and toddlers. Of the little kids blowing out the candles, and the big kids getting a special something.
This is my son, getting his special present for this year. Happy birthday, Owen.

Honestly, I can’t tell. Is that a happy Minion? Do they ever look UNhappy?

He was THRILLED with his Minion. I was puzzled, but I’m not (apparently) the age for Minions 🙂

If you see the movie, you will understand. 🙂

It takes time. And a lot of processing of emotional stuff. For some, longer than others. Hopefully, they get there.

Very cool Minion, and happy birthday to him! He’s just a few months older than me 🙂

Obviously Minions are familiar to others. I recognized it as “something from Facebook,” but had no idea what it was. But it’s a very cool woodcarving 🙂

That is strange. Maybe reload? Sometimes I get that when a site doesn’t finish loading.

Did you use WordPress gallery format or some other?

WordPress. Too much trouble to import from another application.

Thanks. I only get pictures of him on his birthday. If I forget the camera, I’d never get any pictures. Not only can’t I figure how I got old enough to have a kid this old, but how I managed to have this insanely tall kid. I’m such a shrimp!

Theft grow taller today. Both of mine are taller than me and I am not small.

By the time Owen was 16, he towered over me. His father was not short, but Owen towered over him, too. Yes, they do grow bigger these days 🙂 But my granddaughter is shorter than I am.

Mrs. Swiss, I’m Owen’s stepfather and godfather. I remember when he was a toddler in diapers. Yesterday, when we were young.

Tell me about it. I now have a two sons, one will be 48 this year and the other 43 and Mr. Swiss is already a great grand father. Time goes far too quickly. I don’t even think I could remember how to change diapers. We are still young, just a matter of perspective.

And I don’t WANT to remember how to change diapers! Cuddling? Giving gifts? Serving a pudding? I’m great with all that.
Diapers? Where’s mom!
