Happy Birthday, Gary!

Happy Birthday Gary!

Today, Gary turns 26 years old.

Some important facts about Gary.
  1. Gary Loved Legos - he spent hours and hours...
  2. One year he got 32 Ninja Turtles from an AA pilot, Scott
  3. He also loved to wear his Batman shirt 24/7
  4. Gary is out-going and very social
  5. He was named after our good friend, Gary Beekman.  Before Gary was born, we had picked out the name Julie, if we had had a girl, named after Gary B's wife.
  6. Gary was born in Santa Cruz, Bolivia on a Tuesday morning at Clinica Foinini.  After I had been in labor for 8 hours, the doctors determined he was in distress, "cord wrapped around his neck", so he came into the world by emergency C-section.  We had our HAM radio friend, John G. make important phone calls to the grandparents in the states.
  7. Growing up in Bolivia, he loved playing in the sand pile with GI Joe figures along with his best friend, Ben.
  8. Gary would take afternoon naps with me, but he soon discovered that after I would go to sleep, he could slip out of the room and go play legos in his room.
Love on your kids, because they grow up too quickly!

Thank you Gary for being a part of our family, for loving your sisters, for always bringing a smile to our faces and laughs to our bellys. And thank you for your patience with us as you repair our computers and give us social media lessons. 

You are loved and we love you.  Happy Birthday, Gary!!
