Happy Birthday "Robert"!
I was on the couch with my mom one evening and told her that she needed to start exercising with Richard Simmons. (Oh the sweet things a six year old would say!) She hadn't yet told me that a new baby was on the way.
On this day in 1981 my brother Ryan and I were at Grandma Uebinger's house when the phone rang. We were both excited because we were expecting the news about the new baby. I was hoping for a little sister because Ryan wasn't very good at playing with "girl" things. Grandma answered the phone and told us that it was a little boy. I quickly forgot about wanting a sister because a baby was coming home to live with us! We were jumping up and down like two kids who had just mainlined pixie sticks.
Dad took us to the hospital to meet "Baby Greg". He was cute but I was more amazed that mom's belly was gone. (Apparently I had some sort of fixation on her midsection).

Over the years he has entertained us with his eccentricities and thirst for knowledge via the history channel. Greg once told me that he doesn't remember much of me growing up...except that I was always in trouble. The good thing about that is I have very entertaining stories about him and he has nothing on me. During the last ten years an amazing thing has happened. We have become friends! I look forward to hanging out with him and his wife,Stephanie, and couldn't be more proud of the "cough" man he has turned out to be.Happy 27th Uncle Greg! Ben and Owen LOVE You.....(so does their mom).
