ReplyDeleteHey, you need to add one more thing about her! "But Joe does" is not about Bethany. I will add one more thing. She survived a death defying fall off a swing when she was pushed by her Uncle Dave, at around age 4. (is that about how old you were, Beth?)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Bethany. I love that she cried when she got a brother and not a sister!
ReplyDeleteIt was sad and cute at the same time. When she came to visit at the hospital I let her hold him and asked if she wanted us to send him back. She said no.
