I am not completely sure if Thera is older than Brad. Much like a sleazy cable show, I find myself slightly exaggerating things to keep you coming back for more. It works of course because here you are reading this.
I wanted to pay special tribute to Thera, because, she like the other in-laws chose this. Josh, myself, Brad & Missy are in many ways victims of circumstance. Thera, however, knew what she was getting into and yet still married Brad.
Each in-law brings something new and needed to the family. We all agree that only Thera could put up with Brad and for that and so many other things we love her. Some of Thera's great contributions to the family have been Greek food, public nursing, and Opinions-
The Greek food speaks for itself, without her blazing the way in my parents family room the rest of us would be nursing our babies in the back bedroom (for Howard's sake of course), and the opinions, well they have been a much needed service.
Thera has a way to honestly tell it straight and it only makes everyone love her more. If that couch just has to go, or the casserole tastes horrible, if that haircut is definitely not a winner, or you've got spinach in your teeth, Thera will tell you, and we're all better for it.
I would pay a tribute to Sarah and Ryan, but, I am my mother's daughter and therefore haven't a clue when their birthdays are (more about that in the wierd things my parents do post). I only knew Thera's because my mother thought Chad's birthday was actually Thera's, Thera's vice versa, and I had to straighten her out.
Our family and Brad for that matter is better because he married Thera. So Happy Birthday to You!

April 25th--now I cannot wait for my birthday!
Also, the only time I have ever worn a nursing cover was in front of your dad. It just pained me to see him stare at the ceiling while I nursed.
bahahaha... I have not worn a nursing cover nor will I ever... Too much work hahaha. Ryan's bday was November 25th and mine is June 21st...
I remembered your bday... haha jk...
I knew that if anyone posted a comment it would be Sarah and Missy. Oh how Thera has liberated us. Imagine how isolating nursing would be if it weren't for her bravery to expose it all no matter how uncomfortable Howard was.
I hope my daughters and daughters-in-law feel comfortable nursing my beautiful grandbabies in my presence, covered or otherwise, knowing that I would never behave like a lecherous old man looking for a glimpse of fleshy mammilla. At my age, there are occasionally more interesting things to be seen on the ceiling.
Howard? When did you discover this blog? I'm impressed!
I HONESTLY DID NOT KNOW THIS MADE HOWARD REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE. BUT YEAH FOR ME FOR PAVING THE WAY. OH, AND DON'T LET MISSY FOOL YOU. SHE HAS SPENT MORE TIME IN THE OTHER ROOM NURSING THAN IN FRONT OF HOWARD. OR AT LEAST AT THE BEGINNING. ;-)
