March and April

I have been putting this off, waiting for an announcement of another child in our family. So far, it has not materialized, and the month is nearly over, so I will go ahead with the currently known ones.

March 3 – Bobby – my brand new great-nephew, son of Bob and Suzanne
March 12 – the birthdate of my half-sister Lucille who died as a child – born 1920, died 1923
March 16 – Marlin, my ex-son-in-law, with whom I stay connected
March 23 – my nephew David, youngest son of my brother Paul
March 25 – my great-great-nephew, Sekander, great-grandson of my sister Lois
March 30 – my nephew Richard, older brother to David
March 30 – my niece Amy, daughter of my brother Gale
My father's only child by his first marriage, Mary, was born in March of 1907 (I haven't got the exact date), and died in October of the same year.

Still waiting to hear about Lena and Travis's child who was due to be born this month. Lena is the step-daughter of my nephew Richard.

Well, I blew it – here it is April and I haven't posted the March blog yet. And I still haven't heard about Lena and Travis's baby.

For the currently known April birthdays:

April 1 – Lois's granddaughter, Meghan
April 1 – also Meghan's step-sister Taryn
April 11 – my sister Mildred (Middy)
April 19 – my great-nephew (grandson of Paul) Paul III

Guess that's it for now. Maybe I'll have something new to blog about one of these days.

OK, got info on the new baby – Harper Sara. She was born February 27. Lena and Travis's baby.
