It's A Boy!!!!

Amy and Kelly had a healthy baby boy at 11:43 this morning. His name is Sullivan Patrick. He is 7#, 20 3/4". As soon as we have some pictures, we will post them right away.

Congratulations!!!

Now we are awaiting our cousin, Dana's baby. There are just babies coming from all over.

Good Night!

Sad news hit today that Ron's sister Amy had to put her sweet black lab, Jada down. She was sick for a short time, but they found out she had liver cancer. The hard part is, Amy is due to deliver any day now.

Please life up your prayers to Amy, Kelly and Aidan.

It's A Boy!!

Scott and Becky (Ron's cousins from Canada) finally had their little bundle of joy, who arrive on August 15th. His name is Liam Scott and he was 8#, 8 ozs. Welcome home Liam.

For any moms that are reading this, let's all give a KUDOS to Becky. This is her first baby and he was 10 days late and she was in labor for 38 hours before they did C-Section. Way to go mom. It is amazing what we will do for our children.

May God bless your new family and let us know when you are ready for visitors. Christie is already reading up on newborn babies for babysitting, but she has had plenty of experience with her siblings.

Again, CONGRATULATIONS!!! He is just gorgeous!

New Addition!

It all began with a phone call on Friday night. Ron's sister Jan called and said she needed a rescue family. She said he looked just like our Abby and was found in a barn in 100 degree heat. Well, when you put it that way, how can anyone really say no.

So we would like to introduce the newest addition to our family - Charlie!!

Welcome home buddy!

Okay, now you tell me!! Does that look like Abby or what?

All Back and All Better!!

Well, everyone made it back happy and healthy. As soon as I get some picutres from Mom from Disney, I'll post those.

Christie and Will had a great time in Minnesota. When the girls returned, Ron and the girls headed up north to visit Grandma and Grandpa. Ron actually was daring enough to take Christie to a dirt road (there are a lot of those in Minnesota) and teach her how to drive. She did very well I am told.

So now we are back to the same routine at home and Papa (my dad) just got out of the hospital from having his second knee replacement. He was doing so well, that they released him from the hospital to go home after only 4 days. Man those doctors are fast.

Welcome back home kids!!! Glad you're feeling better Dad!!

Empty Nesters

I can honestly say that our home is WAY TOO QUITE. Courtney and Ashley are in Florida at Disney with Nana and Papa, and Christie and Will are in Minnesota with Grandma and Grandpa.

When I really sit and evaluate our house, I honestly don't know how we do it all the time. It is extremely quite at home and we miss the kids something aweful; however, we are enjoying it while we can since they will be back and it will be as loud as ever.

MISS YOU GUYS!!!!

Lucky 7

7-7 is truly a lucky day!!

It was 7-7-87, I finally got my driver's license and was ready to celebrate. That is when my life changed. I stepped foot into a party at Ron's house, our eyes met and 20 years later - look at us now.

Who knew that 7-7-07 the luckiest day according to astronomers, Ron and I would be celebrating 20 years together?

I love you Icky!!!
