Christmas has come and gone. The new year is here. Hard to believe I've lived 58+ years. Been married nearly 40 years. Have kids in their thirty's and two teenaged grandchildren and five more younger ones. Where has time gone, and why did I waste so much of it?

What would I have done different. There are lots of things I wish for now (like wealth, or at least to be a little more confortable when planning for retirement). BUT the things I would of had to do to make more money, would go against my principals that kept me doing what I have done.

shoulda, woulda, coulda....

Noah's light saber? Nope, just a lucky shot by G-ma.

Summer fun with the Fam! All the kids are here, some for just a week. Here are pictures of them doing their favorite activities.....

Kinda getting behind on my posts. We survived Spring Break! Andrea had the idea to go to KC and stay at Great Wolf Lodge for Noah's birthday. It was kid-heaven! Grandparent-heaven? not really, but it was fun seeing Noah and his friend Jeremy do all the things to do.

At 2 months+, Baby Reese had a good time too, got to see lots of relatives she had never met before, and Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Roger again. She had been in Children's Baptist hospital in OKC the weekend before with RSV! We were surprised and worried, but glad she recuperated quickly. Annie is now back to work, Reese has settled in at the babysitter's easily. She really loves being held by anyone, and will take a bottle well. She's really just an easy-going baby!

Reese modeling the quilt her great-aunt made her. She's two weeks old here. Now she's three weeks old and isn't sleeping so much....
