Happy Birthday, Sue!

Sue celebrates another birthday today - woohoo! Her brother Dan is in town, so we are hoping to see him this evening. She is having a great time, doing well in interpreting, mothering, and keeping me straight. Happy birthday, Sue!

Merry Christmas!

We hope you that you are enjoying the "holly-days" and celebrating Christmas in a big way. We had a great time last weekend at my parents' house in FL - my brother Michael and his family were in from CA, and my Aunt Betty and her kids made the drive from Ocala to share what's been happening and hang out for an afternoon. (My grandmother would have been proud!)

We hope and pray that you like us are celebrating what Luke 2:11 tells us: "...for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." Have a merry Christmas and a full and prosperous 2011!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a good Thanksgiving this year. It was just us and our friend Anne Elstan, who is part of our family now, and it was very relaxing. We ate a big turkey with all the fixin's, lots of left-overs, and then played games and stuff in the basement. It was good just to relax with our 4 kids and Anne. Woohoo!

28 years "going steady"

Sue and I celebrate our 28th "going steady" anniversary today - woohoo!  She and I have done a lot over the years, but one thing we've kept in mind was that we are friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, and all that first.  We have built a great life together, and have a lot of fun :-)  I love you, Sue! 

Happy Birthday, Megan!

We had a good time celebrating Megan's birthday today - scout fundraiser breakfast this morning, GSU football game this afternoon, and finally birthday dinner at Mellow Mushroom and presents and cake at home tonight. It was a long but fun day, and we were glad to have my parents here and Megan's friend Alayna along to enjoy an action-packed day of celebration and adventure. (It's a good thing it's time-change weekend - the extra hour of sleep will be needed :-) Happy Birthday, Megan!

Life is fast at our house

Lots of stuff happening with us: Jacob and college, Megan and junior year at high school, Stephen and soccer and scouts, and Kevin and karate. Sue continues to work, and I am running all over with work and scouts. Life is good!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

My mother is celebrating her birthday today!  Hope you have a great celebration!
