Right Back Atcha

Brother Jon,

Thanks for the birthday greetings.  Happy Birthday to you, too! Being 36 hours older than you, I feel I ought to have something especially wise and profound to say, but alas…

I’ve been reflecting on our last 12 birthdays.  That is pretty wild. Remember our first birthday party, with the Yoda cake and only one child between us? It seems like ages ago.

Anyway, I hope your birthday was a joyful one, and as always, gregoreite, stekete en te pistei, andrizesthe, krataiousthe.

You are the man.

Sean

Congratulations

My dear brother,

Our warmest congratulations on the birth of your son.  We are thrilled for you and Rachel, and we are giving thanks for God’s graciously answering all our prayers for her and his safety.  I am anxious to learn his name, and more anxious to get to meet him!

Gratefully,

Sean

Once Again

Brother Sean,

As I sit here on the night before the birth of my sixth child, I can’t help but remember back to the 1st.  You and your wife were so gracious to take us out to Outback for dinner.  Though I was pretty much in a fog given the work schedule I had, it was an enjoyable way to pass the evening, so Rachel and I didn’t sit around the townhouse and pace.

By this time tomorrow, No Name Anderson will be here.  Hopefully, I can get my wife to post a picture.  Thanks for the prayers.  I can’t wait to introduce No Name to his Uncle Bear and Aunt K.

Grace and peace,

Jon

PS.  For those who don’t know us, Sean is the one with the facial hair in the previous post’s picture.  Jon is not the baby, so you can guess which one he is.
