No, this is not a "Where's Waldo" picture. This is a "Where's Jared" picture. This is the night Jared was born. February 9, 1974. We started a tradition that night to take a picture of the mother in labor before leaving for the hospital. Jared was born in a clinic on Castle AFB. At this point I don't remember how long labor was, but I remember that at about 11:40 p.m. we ended up with a beautiful baby boy. 8 lbs. 11 oz. 21 inches long. We named him Jared (a name Robert had chosen while on his mission for his first son) Russell (because I was sure we would have a red-headed baby)
I don't remember who took this picture of us, but it is officially our first family picture.
When this picture was taken we were living in Illinois on Chanute AFB. Jared and his dad having a lighter moment.
Eight years old.
We can't see Jared's face here, but this is his Eagle Court of Honor. When Jared did something we all showed up to support him.

We love you Jared! You are a good husband, provider,and father.
Happy Birthday!
