Parrothead Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Linda's post about her dh maybe being gone for a birthday and their anniversary got me thinking. Our family's important dates are mostly the second week of October. Dh gets hit hard then. Within 7 days he has dd's birthday, our anniversary and my birthday. Then his birthday is in March. So how close are your family's important dates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 We're kind of like you...but in April. DD bday is 4/4, mine is 4/12, DS is 4/28 and our anniversary is 4/21. So poor dh has a wifey and daughter who's birthstone is diamond. Lucky him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 My birthday is August 16th and our Anniversary is Sept 6th. DD's birthdays are 4 days from each other in early December..so that is a busy month! I try really hard to get organzied and have my shopping done by Thanksgiving. When they lived at home I didn't put up Christmas stuff until their birthdays were past. A couple of years ago...my oldest daughter flew out here iwth her family for Thanksgivng. We were not going to see her for her birhtday or Christmas..so we did Thanksgiving on Thursday, Birthday celebration on Friday and Christmas on Saturday. That was a weekend!

Lakeside Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 My birthday is August 7th and our Anniversary is August 8th! What were we thinking? The others are spread out a bit! Dh's birthday is in May and ds's is in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdie Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I have three adopted children who were all born in Jan. so between Christmas, property taxes and birthday celebrations we are tapped out from Dec. - Jan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Our only off time is June and July, otherwise there are Bdays and holidays Aug thru May. Its horrible. I am so tired of all the hullaballoo. That I consolidate dates. Like Mothers Day and extended family bday all on one date. It gets so out of control, it makes holidays miserable.

Aubrey Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Let's see. Fil, dh, & ds are in Jan. Dd5 & dd1 are Apr/May, but only a week apt. Plus Mother's Day. Then in June, we have Father's Day, our anniversary, mil's bday, & my sis's bday. Not that sis counts exactly--she's pretty far away. And my bday is barely in July. We don't have very many autumn bdays--a few spread out around my side of the family--but a few yrs ago, I realized that August was a particularly empty mo. So wouldn't it be great to stick a bday there? Not that I was volunteering to gestate that bday, mind you, but... And here we are. W/ surprise baby due in Aug. LOL Now, though, I'm beginning to realize--spreading the bdays out around the calendar doesn't make things easier; it ensures that we *stay* busy, lol! :glare: Think it's too late to tell this one that Christmas is the end of Dec & Birthday is the end of Apr? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.S. Burrow Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well for our family it's all year round with the highest concentration May 30 to Aug 4 with 4 wedding anniversaries, 4 birthdays, Mother's Day and Father's Day. Next would be October with 3 birthdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Our Anniversary is 3/13. Dd's birthday is 3/21. So is my brother's. FIL's is 3/22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommybee Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 My birthday is August 7th and our Anniversary is August 8th! What were we thinking? The others are spread out a bit! Dh's birthday is in May and ds's is in January. That's funny Shannon.......my birthday is August 15th and our Anniversary is August 14th. Oh and I know what we were thinking, we took the next available date we could get in Reno for a quick wedding. I was about 4 months pregnant at the time and I needed to get on his insurance as fast as we could manage. Silly now to think of and a much longer story but fourteen years later we have never had an actual wedding. Doesn't matter so much now. **I find it funny because I am a Shannon born in August too! :) ** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Our oldest was born October 11 and the next child was born April 11, 2-1/2 years later. From Oct. 11 to Apr. 11 is exactly six months. ALL of our children after that have been born in between these two dates. So "for six months of the year" they are all either in an odd-numbered or an even-numbered year (for example, right now they are all even: 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 2 and 0-baby). That's fun! I'm easily amused. Dh's birthday is in there too -- mine's the ONLY one outside those six months. That makes *me* the Queen, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Our 2 daughters, who are adopted from DIFFERENT countries, and 3 YEARS apart, have the same adoption day...July 17. DD2's bday is july 15 and dd1 is August 15. Then I have one special day each month through March. Sept-MIL, Oct, DH, Nov & Dec--holidays, Jan-ME Feb-Valentines, March-Anniversary. Then open until July :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Ours seem to be spread out fairly evenly throughout the year. September is our big month. Dh's brother 11th, Ds and my mom 15th and dh's mom on the 20th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philothea Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Ok, well here it goes... We celebrate birthdays, Baptismal Days and Name days. The birthdays and Baptismal days are very close. Oh an our anniversary. That gives us 2 dates in March, 2 in May, 1 in June, 1 in July, 2 in August, 1 in September and 1 in November. I don't remember when the baby's Name day is but I know the Baptismal day will be in September. Ya know I really like being Catholic, lots of chances for cake and presents :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
