28 and 29 years ago today, I busied myself giving birth to a daughter.
Like the former Prime Minister's wife, Margaret Trudeau, they have the same birth date, with my children's being only one year apart instead of two.
I am, however, much more proud of them than I am of myself.
You will note, too, that I missed the 1st birthday party. Those pains my husband thought were psychological, were actually real!
Every year after that, we had a big birthday party down on the shore in front of the snack bar of our cottage rental business.
Every cottager was invited, and, being summer, friends also came down, and lots of relatives. One year there were 25 children (for this reason there were always 2 cakes - no sharing a cake as there'd be so many to feed), and lots of games - one being The Dinosaur Egg Hunt (turned out to be a watermelon so everybody won), and a Treasure Hunt one year for the girl's main birthday present.
Happy Birthday to both of you with tons of love, and may you have dozens more.
