We recently returned from our trip to Canada and Michigan, where my family spent some very precious time together. It was perfect and I cherished every moment-can't you tell? Every time I look at my sons, a non-stop video plays in my head filled with moments from the time they were born to the present and I am SO proud of the young men they have become. Their wit and charm, love and compassion makes me all teary-eyed and leaves me smiling from ear to ear.

I am the shrimp now, they all tower over me and here I am wearing 2 1/2 inch heels!

Happy Mother's Day to Me- I am so blessed! Happy Mother's Day to you too!

I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to post and I apologize and hope to get back to posting regularly.

We are thrilled for our son Adam (21) who bought his first home and moves in today! Congratulations Adam! What an exciting time for you. We love you so much and know you'll really love your new home!

Adam's and his girlfriend Cassie, who we think is just the sweetest young woman; have been out shopping and found this adorable puppy that is soon to be part of their lives. They're naming her "Dairy" because she looks like a little cow. :) She's a "pugle"(pronounced pyou-gull), part pug and part beagle. Isn't she just the cutest?!




This means I'll have to share my son with another woman, but I couldn't think of a nicer young woman than Cassie! All the very best Adam and Cassie, we love you!

We as parents pray for the faith, happiness and success of all of our children and we are so proud of each one of their accomplishments. To all of our children, keep your faith and follow your dreams and you'll find true happiness!

Such a long awaited moment. Our youngest son Alex's senior prom and graduation. The last of our four to take the step into adulthood. We are so very proud of him and all his accomplishments. Congratulations Alex-you made it! We love you so much!

Alex's graduation gift-something he has wanted for a long time-what a sweet ride!

The smile tells it all-- he's one happy young man.

Prom Photos: Alex is so handsome! Of course he wouldn't want me to say that but I can, I am his mother!
