A Big Birthday!

A big group hug for Grandpa on his birthday! Our children and grandchildren gathered for a fun surprise birthday party for Grandpa on his special day.
Grandpa was surrounded by all the grandchildren as he tried to open his gifts.
Happy Birthday Grandpa!

A family favorite

The baby of the family is always everyone's favorite. She's had all kinds of names.
Pat, Pataruska. Grandpa always called her "Treeeesha". She's called Bubby by lots of cute people nowdays. But most of us know her as our favorite Aunt Trisha.
Happy Birthday Trisha. We love you!

Grandma Lee's

What do you do when you run out of Grandma Sycamore bread? Well, once I knew how to make bread, maybe I can try again. It turned out yummy and Grandpa found it an acceptable substitute.

Luis and Tiffani

Here they are - our long time friends - The Wells Family!
They have a new addition. Luis. Luis is Tiffani's husband and he will be a fun addition to an already fun family.

Katelyn's Big Day!

March is the month for Happy Birthday greetings to our scrumpdiliumpscious grand daughter, Katelyn. We love her beautiful big eyes and happy smiles. We look forward to seeing her soon. Love you Katie!

Spring!

For those of you still buried in snow, take heart for Spring is coming!
Dad was excited to take a picture of the daffodils blooming in our yard.
This morning there are several more. Ahhh! It is wonderful to feel the warmth of the sun and see the blue sky and the flowers blooming. Life is good!

Keanon's Big Day

Today we are celebrating Keanon's Birthday #7.
Hooray for Keanon. We love you!

Oldies but Goodies

Today we salute our vivacious and fun loving Aunt Helen. This is really an old picture of her in her youth but still it's Aunt Helen. We had such fun times with her. I associate all the home arts with Aunt Helen. She sewed, she knitted and boy, did she cook. I miss her Koek and whole wheat bread. She was our source of gov't cheese which we appreciated so much. Do you remember her?

Keanon's Funny Faces

Last Sunday night we were entertained by the antics of Keanon. He had us all giggling with his up-side-down silliness.

My Three Loves

A funny thing happened the other day, although Dad didn't think it was too funny. We ran into the daughter of our long-time family friends while we were touring a new facility in town. She and I visited while Dad continued the tour. She was surprised to learn that we lived in town now and not out in Dammeron (that's been a while). She said, " I guess I've missed a chapter or two of your life". I said, "that's possible". She said "so are you with this guy now?" (pointing to dad) and I said "yes, I'm with this guy now". She was surprised to find that "this guy" was the same Roland she knew from the past. Well, almost the same.

So I introduce to you my three loves:

Roro, the love of my youth.

Rolando, the father of my children.

And Roland, the guy I am with now and forever.
