Happy Birthday 2

We will have more photos to come, but here is a start... little Jacqueline's party was a nice one...

Update 5/28: I didn't get to write much about her party, but it really was a pleasant afternoon. I appreciate all the friends and family who showed up and I think everyone had a good time. I just added about 22 more pictures to the photo album, so be sure to see if you made it on there!

In reflecting back over Jacqueline's short life I almost forget sometimes that she has been hospitalized twice, once for heart surgery and once for a respiratory infection. I also almost forgot that I actually started this blog before blogger was owned by Google. I made a JCPS Online discussion forum publicly viewable, assigned a tiny URL to redirect to it and posted up to it. It was clunky but it got the job done...If you want to see the old school pre blogger blog click here.. there are some pictures and announcement's from when Jacqueline was in the hospital. OK that's a little nerdy pice of history but that's the way I roll.

Also, I had a little video from the hospital. I posted it up on You Tube recently, but haven't linked to it here. Check out 'Uncle Steve' cheering up Jacqueline while she was laid up:

Anyway our big 3 year old is with her grandparents for a few days and we sure miss her. But we are thankful for the joy she has brought us and for her clean bill of health. She is a blessing.

Happy Birthday

You KNOW you're from "Louisville" when:

You KNOW you're from "Louisville" when:

Your "International" airport has only one passenger flight
that actually leaves the 48 contiguous U.S. States and is
also the size of an average mall

The in-state sports rivalry is paid more attention to than
the national championship.

You live in an area that occasionally gets considerable
snowfalls, floods, and tornadoes... But has no capacity to
deal with any of the above.

You pronounce the name of your city different than anyone
else you've heard.

You think the rest of the people in Kentucky sound like
hicks.

When you think " Kentucky ' you don't automatically think
horse racing or fried chicken.

You ask your doctor for an allergy cure and he tells you to
"move"

You've shoveled 10 plus inches of snow and worn shorts in the
same week.

When people ask what school you went to, they don't mea n
Vanderbilt, Yale, or Harvard; they mean Ballard, Male,
Manual, Trinity or St. X.

You know what the Bambi Walk is.

Your last ten vacations were in Panama City or Destin.

You make an emergency run to Kroger for bread and milk at
the first sighting of a snowflake.

You've lived here for years, yet somehow you get hopelessly
lost each time you attempt a shortcut through Cherokee Park .

You're convinced turn signals are useless options on a
vehicle.

You hold up traffic to let a motorist you don't know into
your lane.

You give directions based on landmarks that no longer exist
or street names that have changed, but your directions never
confuse any of the other Louisvillians

You have never been to the Derby , but wouldn't miss the
Oaks.

You call in sick to attend the Oaks and spot your boss - who
also called in sick - at the next betting window.

You think all the REAL hicks live in New Albany IN.

You think the only thing Southern Indiana is good for is
buying pumpkins.

When introduced to another life-long Louisvillian, you spend
the first part of the conversation finding out how you are
connected. It's never as many as six degrees of separation -
usually three will do it.

You think a pervert is someone who would rather have sex
than watch basketball.

You've built a shrine to Rick Pitino in your basement.

You can read about Rick Pitino in at least three different
sections of your newspaper.

You think the rest of the world knows what Benedictine
spread is.

You think the rest of the world knows what a Hot Brown is.

You have never eaten fish that wasn't fried.

You think the whole world puts spaghetti in chili.

You want another bridge built over the Ohio River , just so
long as it doesn't cut through YOUR neighborhood.

You've experienced a "salt storm" after a two-inch snowfall.


You're  still bitching that Dillards took over Bacon's

You still refer to Bashford Manor Mall and it has
been gone for 7 Years.


You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other
friends from Louisville .
