    "Happy Birthday JoLynn!"

    I want to dedicate this blog to our oldest daughter, JoLynn Joy, who is having her 27th Birthday today! Hope it is filled with joy and happiness for you!

    I was 27 yrs. old myself when you were born...and felt so happy and blessed to have a little girl to join us along with big brother Delton who was going on 4 yrs old. He loved to sing and one of his favorites were "With Jesus in the Family" and of course "With Baby in the family happy, happy home..." was music to our ears and hearts! We named you JoLynn after your mama...taking the Jo from my middle name, JoAnne and adding it to the end of my first name Carolyn. At that time we did not know another JoLynn, but have run across many, many of them in the last 25 yrs. Some of your cute nicknames from your younger siblings were 'Nynnie and JoJo...my favorite was and still is, JoyLynn.

    We didn't know then that it would be another 5 yrs before we would have another baby, so dear JoLynn was the big sister to the rest of the siblings and a super good helper to her Mother for many, many yrs.

    I have alot of baby/toddler pics that I'm not able to scan/down load...just because I don't know how :( ....but will post what I have ....

    The day we came home from the hospital...3 days old.
