Before daughter Ryan was born, Buzzy and Jean gave me a yellow rocking chair. When Ry was born, she had a case of jaundice and had to spend a couple extra days in the hospital until it cleared up.
Some time after Ryan’s birth, Buzzy and Jean then gave me a black rocking chair. Shown here is their reaction to a little thank you note I wrote them and also informed them that another child (Brady) was on the way. My punch line had something to do with “Since you gave us a yellow chair and we got a yellow baby, hopefully this one won’t be black.” Their expressions say it all.
