10 years

Ten years ago today a little baby came into our lives. To my surprise, that baby was a girl! She has since blessed us with her zest for life, humor, fearlessness, beauty, talents, athletics, and heartfelt sincerity.

Happy Birthday Cal!
We love you more than you will ever know.

Happy Belated

I just want to say happy belated birthday to Osto, who turned 35 on Saturday. We headed north to our favorite town to celebrate. My parents were generous and took our kids for the weekend at the family cottage. The kids met some of their extended family, snowmobiled, icefished, and played. We were able to have quiet dinners, sit in the hot tub in a snowfall, shop, gamble, and sleep in late - all without the whining of little people - which made it just about heaven.

So here's to you Osto! Happy Birthday, I love you! You are officially old now, like me!

P.S. Listen to the song at the left called, My Wish...I couldn't say it better if I'd written it myself.

Happy Birthday Chooch!

Three years ago you came into our lives!

I am so glad you are my baby, even though you are such a big boy now.

May 26, 2007. Happy 3rd Birthday!

Thirty-five

I'm turned thirty five on Feb. 26. Thirty-five. 35.
I'm as close to fifty as I am far from 20. My dad always told me that his thirties were some of his best years...a little wiser, a little more money in the pocket, a little more settled in life. I have to agree! I think I have been happier in my thirties than I have been so far in my life. I think my family has a lot to do with that! I guess we have to embrace that we can't go back.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday Papa Bob! We love you so much and wish we could be there to wish you a happy birthday in person. We hope you have a great day.
