Family Portrait May 2010


May 18th was PeeWee's 65th birthday! Yes, she is sixty-five years old!!! To celebrate this milestone, the girls and I planned a surprise party for her, inviting 75 of her closest buddies and buddettes. Tara and Grace flew in from Atlanta and Amanda came from The Great White North. After the surprise of the girls, we told her about the upcoming party. Some siblings were afraid the shock of the party might be too much for her..... We had an excellent turn out, from friends that she's known for 30 years, Tara, Elle, Luke and my Cait's kindergarten teacher, friends from church, swimming buddies, etc. Tara, Elle, and Amanda cooked up all kinds of goodies. Amanda is making her a signature quilt. We sent out quilt squares to long distance friends and then had squares at the party for everyone else to sign. We received signatures back from her high school best friend, friends she's known since she was a kid, and friends from almost every state we've lived in, along with siblings, in-laws, nieces, nephews, etc. Amanda is going to take it home and assemble it. We will post pictures when it is completed.

Christmas 2009


We had an actual "blizzard" on Christmas Eve. It was so nice to have a white Christmas!




We had snowdrifts in the driveway and Sax was not able to get his truck in. Five days later, we still have snow on the ground.

Absolutely love this picture of Mark! I was just taking a picture as he walked by and he suddenly did "the pose" not thinking I'd catch it!





Teeny Tiny Tara T and Miss Gracie Kate. Such cute girls!









The Graduate

Our little girl graduated! Seems like just yesterday I was walking her to kindergarten and thinking, "It'll be FOREVER before she graduates".

New Knee #2

This is the latest new knee. Now that Sax has two new knees, he is going to be the bionic man. At least not the SIX MILLION dollar man, just the $150,000.00 dollar man. Recovery is going well, just not as well as the left knee in January. We've only had one naked episode this time and when I asked him where he was going, he said "out to mow the yard". Now I'm sure the neighbors would've enjoyed seeing Sax mow in nothing but compression stockings, but it's really not a pretty picture. Too bad he can't get it wet for 8 weeks. We can begin enjoying the pool and he can bring us drinks, lotion, floaties. He'll make an excellent pool boy.
