Congratulations to Parker, Clay,  Jaymes and their entire family!!

May this special day be filled with

Joy, Love, and Fun!!

The history of Birthday celebrations can be traced back to before the rise of Christianity.  In pagan culture, it was believed that evil spirits visited people on their birthdays.  To protect the person having the birthday from the spirits, friends would surround him and make a lot of noise.  They hoped that this would scare away the evil spirits.

Here are some fun facts about birthdays that will make you smile.

More people celebrate their birthdays in August than in any other month (about 9% of all people).

More people are born on October 5 in the United States than any other day. October 5 holds a not-so-surprising significance, as conception would have fallen on New Year’s Eve.

Since Parker’s birth, 31,536,000 seconds have passed at his exact birthday time.

Happy Birthday  was the first song to be performed in outer space. It was sung by the Apollo IX astronauts on March 8, 1969.

Enough with the facts!  Let’s just wish the best to the birthday boy and his family.  What an exciting day for all of them!

Please share your birthday wish for Parker!
