Happy Birthday, Stephen

Stephen's birth announcement.  Ray, his dad, who designed the announcement, must have realized intuitively that Stephen would grow up to be a railroad fan.

 Stephen and James, his brother, with Thomas in Whitewater, Indiana.

Stephen  in the shirt with the NIC on it)  helped with the middle school garden a project in conjunction with the Miami County Parks District. James, an eighth grade student, ( in the white shirt with colored speckles)  was one of the students working on the project.  I took photos.  Everyone is taking a snack break.

Have a great day, Stephen.
