Just little notes of love!

Just a little good news. Neil is feeling better, still a little weak, but much better. And Scout's heart problem is not a problem...she is fine and we are happy for her and her mama and brother. Lila came to visit today and I got a couple of cute pictures....

Just little notes of love!

HAPPY EASTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a beautiful day to celebrate Easter!!!! The family came for a lunch--ham, cheesy potatoes, deviled eggs, pasta salad, rolls etc. We ate and ate and then (thanks to Bob and Beth) we had a great egg hunt. The kids seemed to have a good time, and the bunny even left change in some of the eggs. Noah make out with $8.75. Pretty good times. Wish all of you could be here, but we will try again next year. We love all of you and hope you remember the real meaning of Easter.

PNEUMONIA AND ME BY THE WALLICKS

Well, here we are, Spring is sprung, Fall is Fell, Summers Near and it's hotter than usual! Actually, we are trying to get Spring to Stay. It is lovely today, but Saturday it was a blizzard. (And Megan, I mean blizzard!)

It was also the day Neil was in the Hospital with pneumonia. He was so sick.....shaking and feeling terrible. However, being home with his nurse has shown that he is turning the corner. Although, he did call me "Uncle Tom" for wanting him to drink Ensure. But today is better, and he showered and ate some clam chowder Natalie brought him.

Yesterday our Brandon came over, tan from Hawaii. We are all still a little jealous and want to go there soon. Aaron came to the Hospital and helped us home, and then he and Erika and the boys brought dinner the next night. Those boys are so darn cute.

Well, tomorrow is Natalie's birthday. Call and wish her a Happy. Know you are all loved!!!! xoxomom

THE IDES OF MARCH (LOOK IT UP!)

My this month is going fast. We had Bethany's birthday and had dinner at Chuck-a-rama. Most of the family was there. I am trying to get pictures of it. She looks great for 27!!!!!!!!!

Then Mike's birthday came and as usual, we go to eat again. Guess the times of family dinners is dying out. He had a good birthday.

Neil and I went to the doctor and his foot is healing well. Maybe with luck, he can be off the crutches soon. He is really tired of them...and I don't blame him.

I have been reading the Nancy Turner books on Sarah Prine. I really enjoy them and it makes me appreciate the life we have now. I can't imagine going through the hardships the pioneers did. Shs has a new one out that I am going to get today. I have to start walking again as the weather is getting nicer. And I have put it off long enough.

Natalie's birthday is the 20th. Let me know what you would like to do...this one she isn't as excited for. But they come anyway. The little mole on Lila's leg was benign, another blessing for us. And Scout goes to the cardiologist this next week to check her little problem.

The most exciting news is Brandon and family are in Hawaii and I hear are having a great time. Anxious to see them. NEXT YEAR IT IS OUR TURN TO GO TO HAWAII---AS A FAMILY OR NEIL AND ME FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY. PLAN AHEAD! THINK AHEAD! PRAY AHEAD! BE THERE OR BE SQUARE.

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.
