TJ turns 10

Sweet...TJ is 10 already! How fast time keeps moving by and grand kids just keep getting older and smarter every day. TJ is such a good kid and a delight to just be around.
We had a fun birthday last night with hot dogs and lots of food to eat and cake and ice cream. TJ had family and friends to shower him with gifts and best wishes. After the party all the kids went to a family fun center to celebrate the big day. Happy Birthday TJ...you are a sweetheart!

It was also good to see Keri's friend Nikki who popped in for the birthday. Keri and Nikki have been friends since they were 14 years old.

Eliza Is Here!!!

We are so excited to finally meet, hold, hug and kiss our newest grandchild!!! Eliza is absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way and has brought so much joy to our family already. Even though she was 4 weeks early she had only a minor low blood sugar issue for a day. What a blessing! Eliza was born on August 3,2009. She weighed 7 lbs and was 17" long. What a miracle to have her here and well and Mom is doing great again...finally!

Melinda had such a tough pregnancy that the only fair thing to do was to have a perfect baby. She is a great eater with no spitting up or colic and she is easy going and a very good sleeper. Just what mom and dad ordered.

Now this beautiful family of FIVE is complete! Laura, Sara and Mom and Dad are just adoring their newest little one. Great work Melinda, you did an awesome job! We are go grateful to have Melinda on the mend and feeling better every day! Life is wonderful!
