My first turns twelve…I can hardly believe it…especially since I was pregnant with my seventh at the time! I remember thinking, “When this baby turns twelve, Joseph will be almost twenty-four…he could be married…I could be a grandma by then!”
As per the family tradition, a birthday cake was served complete with numeral candles for the year. Joseph was very patient because his birthday was celebrated a day late. Luckily for him, his Grandma Gen had taken him to Brainerd Art in the Park. He had made a piece to enter into the kids division of the art contest and won second place. He received a medal and a check for $75! Wouldn’t you know, next day he was already cooking up the design for the 2009 show! That’s my creative boy, always happy when he has a project to work on!
