Ketchup With Us # 25

Ketchup With Us # 25 is a great one for me because it contains my birthday and the birth of my son Ryan. I was told my due date was going to be October 12th, 1994 which wasn't far from my birthday October 6th, ?. So what a surprise I got at the restaurant, where my family and I were celebrating my birthday and my oldest brother's birthday (October 7th), when I went into labour. I mean I actually started contractions in the restaurant! To make a long story short, I never made it to the 12th and now my boy and I have back to back birthdays. Not only that, Ryan and Michael have the same birthday which is why I named my boy Ryan Michael. This couldn't have worked out better if it had been planned!

Baby Ryan & a tired looking me when he was nearly 2 weeks old. Michael & Ryan at last years birthday.
