  5. I was a third child, too, Erik. We are the best!! We can watch the big ones make all their mistakes, and then go and do what we want, because no one has the time to look after us too much! You have become a handsome young man, and quite obviously your mother`s joy. I wish you a happy, interesting and cheerful life! Now go and hug your mom!

  13. Happy Birthday congrats to you Lori, and Eric...I bet it seems like yesterday when you were holding him in your arms as a small babe.
    I love your poem for Eric.
    We were both expecting sons at the same time...my Alexander was born on April 1st.
