WE MADE IT TO 44!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HI GUYS!!!!!!! WE MADE IT TO 44 WONDERFUL YEARS OF JOY. WELL MAYBE NOT TOTAL JOY, BUT WE HAVE HAD A GOOD 44 YEARS, MORE HAPPINESS THAN SADNESS, AND MORE PRIDE THAN SORROW.

WE WERE PLEASE SO MANY OF YOU COULD COME TO DINNER. IT WAS NICE TO SEE SO MANY OF YOU AND YOUR LITTLE ONES. YOU AND THEY ARE OUR HEART.
BETHANY GOT SOME CUTE PICTURES THAT I HOPE TO PUT ON HERE.

OCCASIONALLY IN LIFE THERE ARE THOSE MOMENTS OF UNUTTERABLE FULFILLMENT WHICH CANNOT BE COMPLETELY EXPLAINED BY THOSE SYMBOLS CALLED WORDS. THEIR MEANINGS CAN ONLY BE ARTICULATED BY THE INAUDIBLE LANGUAGE OF THE HEART! XOXOMOM

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

There are three things which are real:
God, human folly and laughter.
The first two are beyond our comprehension
So we must do what we can with the third.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOUT!

WE HAD SUCH A NICE BIRTHDAY PARTY AT NATALIE'S HOUSE FOR SCOUT. SO MANY OF THE FAMILY CAME! AND SHE LOVED HER LITTLE CAKE NATALIE MADE. SHE ATE IT SO DELICATELY. SHE IS A FEMININE LITTLE ONE.....

SCOUT GOT A NEW CAR SEAT-PINK-JUST RIGHT FOR HER. IT IS A FRONT FACING ONE AND I HEAR SHE LOVES TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON.

SO MANY COUSINS! THEY ALL SEEM TO REALLY LOVE BEING TOGETHER! WISH I HAD GOTTEN MORE PICTURES....BUT I GUESS JIM IS THE REAL PHOTOGRAPHER.

THE ONLY SAD SIDE TO THE DAY WAS THAT BRITTANY AND HER GIRLS WEREN'T THERE. WE MISS HER SO MUCH....HOPE NEIL AND I CAN GO OUT SOON TO VISIT.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi My Angels: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!! WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentines Day. We are staying home and making a special dinner and watching Chick Flicks! We are wild and crazy!

We went to the foot doctor today. Neil was disappointed because he has to be on crutches longer, but he is slowly healing. They did a whole new wrapping to his foot, and we don't change it until next week when we go back.

Good news! We were able to find someone to take our trip to the Caribbean. So we don't have to pay for that. We are sad we can't go for our anniversary this year. But maybe next year.

I am adding pictures from the last week. They are so darn cute. We love all of you so much. Our love and prayers are with all of you.

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!

What a great day!!!!! We went to Brandon and Heidi's for the game. It was great! GO GIANTS!! The game was great and exciting. We had spaghetti dinner and cake. We just missed watching Bob watch the game. That would have been the best.

We went to visit Natalie the night before---and watched Lila, Emme, Bobby J and Bryton. They put on a dance for us....and were all so cute. Bobby says everything that the other kids say. And he tries to dance like Bryton. Winter taught Bryton some dance moves...even the worm.

Neil's foot is doing better. It is still sore but we go to the dr. next week. Neil is hoping that he will be off crutches soon.

We love our children and grandchildren and are grateful for all of their help and thoughtfulness. Bob and Beth are coming home today!!!!! Their kids sure miss them. And they miss their kids.

We are all blessed!!!
