P.S. That's my mom -- the new grandma -- in the second pic. Dang, she looked good for what amounts to my age now!
Yoda's Birthday Today!
LOL, and I just noticed, too, in that pic that Chris really kinda DOES look like Yoda if you look closely enough, only he's pink.

You've got my respect there Austruck. My ex's first labour seemed as long as Tony Blair's first term (there's a joke in there somewhere I think).
The second one was accompanied by more drugs than an apt simile...

Now you got me started, but this is the last one, promise. This is one of my favorite family pictures. This is of my paternal grandmother (the only grandparent I knew) with her young great-grandson, Chris, when he was about four weeks old. He'd been fussy, but as soon as we gave him to her and she started sweet-talking to him, he totally zonked, as you can see by the picture. Her name was Fannie Mae Hockenberry Au, and I adored her.
I guess she's the Yods-Whisperer.

Thanks for posting the pictures. They're adorable. I love the photo of Chris and your grandmother. If you haven't had it framed, you should. That's such a great shot. Thanks for sharing.

It's framed and on my living room mantelpiece right now, along with a bunch of other family photos. But that one's my favorite by far.

You misunderstand most of my bravery. I have a huge dislike of hospitals and interventions of just about any kind. I'm the stupid type who doesn't go have her ankle x-rayed when she twists it badly. ("Oh, I'm sure it's fine.")
Not bravery ... more like fear.

Meanwhile, we're just passing the time waiting for Yoda to show up and read this thread, right?

Sedai, yeah, I agree. As I looked for photos to scan just now, I started to think they all looked like Yoda. Same shaped head, that's for sure. (Some were worse!)

Okay, here's one of me and Chris/Yoda on his first Halloween at a church Halloween costume party. We went ... yes, as bunnies! He was wearing a white one-piece sleeper that I'd sewed a fluffy tail onto, and a white baby bonnet/hat that I'd sewed cloth-covered cardboard ears onto. I thought we looked cute together.
He was about two months old here:

Geez, Anon, I mean, thanks for the effort, but even *I* wouldn't fall for that one. That was so sickeningly sweet, I think I just went diabetic.

So this is what it sounds like, when doves cry.
Prince? You quote Prince to me?
I'm ashamed to admit I know you, sir.
[Well, okay, that's a bit harsh. But still ... PRINCE?]
