JoJo's Third Birthday

With Daddy at the dreaded...yes you guessed it...Chuck E. Cheese. Kids live for the place. Parents "offer it up" for their sake.

At Great Uncle Vince Weiss' house. He wanted to show the kids his train that he sets up every year. It was given to him 75 years ago by his parents. It still chugs like a charm. Leave it to German engineering.


Uncle Vince reminded us that McKenna shares the same birthday with her Great-Great-Grandfather Andrew Balthazar Weissbecher. The year he was born, as with this year, January 6 fell on the Feast of the Epiphany. Hence, the name Balthazar--one of the three kings who presented Jesus with gifts shortly after his birth. Not sure if it was he or his son who dropped the "becher" in Weissbecher in years to come.

The youngest five of 17 grandchildren. Millie and Pete recently received the news that they will be great-grandparents in July! Wow.
