The Denninger family has defied the birthday odds. Tom Denninger who is now enjoying his retirement after years of working as a manager for the Co-op grocery store in Lake Cowichan then moving on to DuncanB次元官网网址檚 Co-op gas station in 2006 was given the gift of his beautiful daughter Whitney on his 34th birthday on July 13, 1993.

The Denningers had two sons in the winter months before Whitney who is the youngest.

B次元官网网址淚t was very exciting. Tom was hoping for a fish finder, but our daughter was his gift,B次元官网网址� joked TomB次元官网网址檚 wife Pinder Denninger. B次元官网网址淚 told him if we had a daughter that was going to be his birthday present, but he also got the fish finder that year, because our son who was five at that time gave it to him still. He was quite excited until he realized that every birthday going forward was going to be null and void, because it was all going to be about her.B次元官网网址�

Pinder, who worked as financial advisor with Island Savings for 20 years, is also enjoying retirement. Born in Duncan and raised in Lake Cowichan the couple enjoyed living in Duncan for many years before returning to their home town. Whitney who also has experience working in various credit unions has been living in Comox for nearly 10 years now with her husband Conrad Peardon.

Pinder was present when history repeated itself again and Whitney and Conrad, who met in Comox and have been married for three years, welcomed Oliver James Peardon into the world two weeks earlier than expected this past July 13, which was WhitneyB次元官网网址檚 30th birthday. The plan was a Greek birthday dinner which Whitney had been looking forward to all day, but life served up a sweet surprise instead.

B次元官网网址淚t was very emotional,B次元官网网址� said Pinder Denninger. B次元官网网址淚 was so excited, she was a trooper and did an amazing job. Oliver was born at 11:01 p.m. and I was rooting for him to be born on the same day. She was supposed to be going out to dinner, she just had her doctorB次元官网网址檚 appointment first, and they kept her. Tom joked that this is now WhitneyB次元官网网址檚 payback, and that she too will soon find out what itB次元官网网址檚 like to give up all her birthdays.B次元官网网址�

Pinder Denninger shared that it all hasnB次元官网网址檛 quite hit Whitney yet, and probably wonB次元官网网址檛 until OliverB次元官网网址檚 first birthday in 2024 will most certainly trump TomB次元官网网址檚 65th, and WhitneyB次元官网网址檚 31st.

B次元官网网址淲hen her next birthday comes around, then it will be all about Oliver,B次元官网网址� joked Pinder Denninger. B次元官网网址淭om was all gearing up for a big birthday bash for his 65th, until my daughter and I reminded him that now it will be all about Oliver and his first birthday. You turn 65, and all you get is a pension, big deal.B次元官网网址�

According to Google, the odds of three generations of family members sharing the same birthday like this is 1 in 133, 225. The odds certainly to be in this familyB次元官网网址檚 favour, as they win lifeB次元官网网址檚 lottery.

Oliver is the DenningerB次元官网网址檚 fourth grandson with a fifth one expected to enter the world in December. Pinder Denninger shares that she has already made several trips to Comox, since OliverB次元官网网址檚 birth. While Oliver will most likely steal the spotlight next July 13, with three birthdays to celebrate it will certainly be a special and fabulous family affair.

B次元官网网址淚 joke with my sons who both gave us beautiful grandsons, that their sister one-upped them,B次元官网网址� said Denninger. B次元官网网址淪he did it on her birthday.B次元官网网址�
