First, my Dad's birthday is March 7th. What can a girl say about her Dad...I love him so much and appreciate the life he gave me, the example he set, the work he did, the gospel he taught, how he loved my Mother and the invaluable time I was able to spend with him.
Second, my little Rajko's birthday is the 10th. Rajko is such a pleasant, smart, handsome little guy. I love him so much and am happy he is my grandson. I am part of his life and what makes it so special is that he is beginning to be as in love with me as I am with him.
March 22nd is my Olivia's birthday. We had waited around two weeks longer than we thought for her birth, plus a whole night in the hospital waiting some more for Olivia to finally join our family. Olivia was absolutely worth the wait! She is beautiful, gentle, capable, a strong mother and a faithful daughter of God.
Allen's birthday is March 25th. I could not ask for a better son. Allen is a very fair person. He has such a sense or right or wrong. I can always depend on a very honest answer from him. He is a sensitive Daddy and reminds me in many ways of my own Dad. He is smart, handsome, hard-working and strong. I told him the events of his birth last night, but I do want him to know he IS worth it all!
So you see...March is full of madness because of the sheer joy and happiness we receive from those we love born in this month. I love each of these people so very much and am thankful for the relationship I have with each individual. I am happy for the opportunity to be a part of their life.
LET THE MARCH MADNESS CONTINUE!!!

BEST MONTH EVER!!! Thank you so much for the post, for coming over last night, for the gift, and for suffering an excruciating night of pain 32 years ago.
I love seeing pictures of your family. I too, didn't remember that Olivia and Jamey shared the same birthday! We were blessed to have such wonderful dad's that taught us so much and were so much fun. They are truly missed. Happy you got to get away this weekend!
What can I say? It seems that many great people are born in March! Thanks so much for bringing me into this world, and making my life what it is. Just the other night I was thinkning about having this little girl be the last of the Gunnerson babies because I'm getting old and being pregnant isn't the most fun thing on earth. Then I thought about the fact that you did it at my age and did it two more times! Oh what we do for our children. Thanks for doing it for me!
I can remember the day we went to the hospital to see you after you had Allen. It was painful for me to leave the hospital with you waving out the window to us! Boy I have a great memory. Grandma Bisel was there with us and Olivia was still very much a toddler. You are an amazing mother and still continure to inspire me. However, considering my age and what is on my plate... you will win the award for most children. I concede!!!! Thanks for always posting such wonderful tributes. It make me realize what is most important in life.
am leaving a comment about your comment on my blog. (did you get that) don't feel too bad about your comment on april fools joke. my sister once had me going thinking she needed my kidney. (i am a much kinder joker). my parents got married on april 1 and my grampa gave mom a gift. He worked for a jeweler and said he wanted to give her a diamond pin. She was so excited. When she opened the box it was a dime and a pin! Our family has ever since done april fools jokes.
