LOVE

17 years ago today my true love took me out for dinner.

The rest is history.

I love you.

Feeling Sentimental...

How is it possible that this face...

Has turned into this face...

Wasn't it just yesterday that he was born?

Planning Josh's Bar Mitzvah in my head is sure making me tired...  wonder what it will really be like when I am planning it on Paper!

4 months, 3 weeks and four days!

Surgery!

Allen got his back fixed today!  This is before he goes in to the OR.

We are thrilled with the outcome.  Can't wait to have him train with me for my AVON Walk.  He promises he will come April.  I hope that's the case.  I love having a glimpse of my funny husband again.  It's been a LONG four months of misery and pain... and I hope & pray

that this fixes it.

The stare down

 

This is a near nightly ritual... The stare down between the dogs!

They are so funny.  Harry just stands and stares.  Jack barks and carries on until Harry gives in and let's Jack have his remaining food.  Sometimes it goes on for 30 minutes or more!

Bunking Brothers...

Ben has convinced Daniel to let him move back in his room.
Not sure how that happened... but they are once again talking and laughing and staying up far too late...

Daniel is such a sport... but deep down, I think they missed each other.

Kate Cooks Dinner

Kate called me and said, "Aunt Jan, can I come visit with my family, I will bring dinner..." ... I was thrilled that she wanted to come and visit and so were the boys.  She has been working really hard and needed some family lovin'!  She came and made a delicious dinner!!  Love that she cooked for us... hated the clean up...

Dinner with the Cousins

We don't get to see the cousins often enough.  When we do it's a treat.  We took Madi, Lily & Jake to dinner at Islands... Fun to have the six kids in one place! :)
