New Year

2009-01-02T11:43:00.000-08:00

I hope that everyone has a great new year. So far We are off to a good start. This Years was special cause of spending it with my new family. I have missed not having someone to share it with.
Yesterday on the 1st I had the fun job of taking down the Christmas lights and decorations. I hope that the people that have seen it enjoyed it as much as I did doing it, I havent been able to do Christmas lights outside in about 14 years. I was happy to hear that Bill made it home safe lastnite from a trip up north to see his parents, I know that his kids missed him dearly, I think he is a great dad and loves his kids and wife, I have also found a new friend too.
I am still recovering from my hip surgery, it is doing good but still have times with severe pain but much better than before the surgery. Thanks everyone for the help.

Best Christmas

Twenty nine years ago my almost on time 3rd child came very close to coming on Christmas Day. But we made it 3 days later just like the my good jewish ob said we would. He pickedn his due date Dec 28th. I was expecting another girl tho and came prepared with the pink stuff so we had to search for our green and yellow things for our new little BIG boy. Almost 9 lbs and only 1 week early. Already Brian was here, born at St. Peter"s Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Brian my sweet son, thanks so much for always being there for me and the family too. thankjs so much for all your love and support. Best wishes for a happy successful year ahead. May we all become more prepared and follow your good example and suggestions. Happy Birthday Brian!

First Christmas

Christmas day has come and gone already but we had alot of fun starting at 12:01 am with David's daughter Christina, and us. David surprised me with a new cord organ and then we were off to unwrapping and having a ball. A wii system showed up at our home too thanks to his borther Kevinfrom NYC when he came down earlier in the week. Keri and Bill and the kids came for brunch since we were up late playing and slept in. David whipped us up a great breakfast then we had fun watching the kids unwrap their gifts. After playing for a while they took off reluctantly so Bill could get dinner in the oven. Later we stopped by his Grandmas and Moms and then ended up at Keri and Bills for dinner, and a showing of the kids new toys. It was a beautiful day full of smiles and laughter special phone calls from family and friends and love of our savior's birth.

I too have much to be grateful for especially for my Dad my hero who fought to keep us free in WWII and who taught me how to serve. My Moms Dad and my brother in law Lynn too and all those who continue to serve this country and those who serve the Lord in spreading His Gpospel as my sons did. I am thankful for them all.
