Many happy returns of the day to my favorite child born in the 21st century, my favorite son born in Pennsylvania - and, what's more, out of all of my kids, my favorite one born in Lehighton!

He is now *this* many, which means he can actually say that he is two. Whether he will do so if someone asks remains to be seen. He will, more likely, say "Ah ah ah ah..." and insist he is the Count from Sesame Street, because that is the sort of thing he does, especially when numbers are involved.

They say parents shouldn't pick favorites, but out of all my sons born North of the Appalachian Trail, he is very much the favorite. Come to think of it, he's flat-out my favorite out of all my kids born North and West of the AT. Yep yep yep.

awww tell him HAPPY BIRTHDAY :)

The Count seems to have a special place with little kids. My 3 year old nephew does Count impressions all the time. He counts everything -drives my sister batty. Um, no pun intended.

A big part of kids job descriptions - tied deeply to their salary review - is to drive one or more parents (usually their mother) completely nuts.

You probably will not notice this as it happens, but don't worry... others will! =)

Perfect Grandpa Moise comments re 'favorite child". Which makes you are my favorite Pennsylvania Son!

I can hardly believe Brandon is 2. So many changes for us in these 2 years, eh?

The AT goes all the way up to Maine so how can he have been born north of it? :-)

If you stand in front of the hospital and walk south, you will intersect the trail... so he was born north of the trail - certainly not north of the northern trail head, though! =)

Look on this map and get the arrow near the top of the screen and Mountain Road along the bottom (well, as long as both are visible you should be good!)

The hospital is just to the left (W) of the top of the arrow, and the AT runs E-W along the Kittatinny Ridge, which appears on the map as the blank area with only a few N-S roads crossing between Mountain Road and 895.

Along that section is Bake Oven Knob, where we'll be doing the hawk watches in October and November.
