Happy Birthday to son in law Dave! He just returned from a motorcycle trip to NY. Something I bet Russ would love to experience!
Dave and Kim have just sold their home and are preparing to look for new digs a little closer to work, family and Stoney Creek Metro Park.
VVVVRRRROOOMMMMMMM was the sound of Dave leaving after our June/July birthday celebration and Father's Day yesterday. Pictures will be coming soon - I didn't get many and Michelle is not feeling well enough to get hers posted yet.
Again, we wish Dave a very happy birthday!
Enjoy life!

Henry Ford Hospital
Due to how my dad was feeling, we managed to change his appointment with the Henry Ford specialists from next Thursday to this Wednesday.
We sure appreciate all the prayers in his behalf!
Enjoy life!

Happy Birthday to Me!
Can't believe I am this old - when I was the age of my kids I thought of this age as REALLY old! Now I have to say that I didn't know much way back then! I am actually a quite young old person! ;-)
I still look in the mirror and am surprised when a blonde chick in her early 30's does not look back at me! I know I don't have the same energy I had when my kids were in elementary school - but I do pretty good chasing around with three grandchildren under two years old. I think I do pretty good at running and doing for my dad and stepmom - they are not so good at the stairs anymore! If I go up or down the stairs once a day you can figure I will do it about 40 more times before bed.
Russ had a "vacation day" today - he skipped church and went to Carnival of Cars. It is really the only time during the summer when he can just get away and enjoy. After returning home he gave me a very pretty diamond necklace - a big surprise!
I went to church this morning - it was Pastor Ed's last day with us at CWC. When he came to join us he made the comment that he wanted to be the one Youth Pastor to stay the longest - and I understand he did that. (Others have come as Youth Pastors and then gone on to other positions in the church.) We will sure miss his excitement and love for the teens. We do appreciate Pastor Jason who is taking over as Youth Pastor - he has had good teachers!
Russ and I were glad to be able to attend the graduation party for Kirsten Zeiter today too. Cannot believe that she has graduated - we met her when she was two months old - at a child care center where I was working. Each of our kids have babysat for Kirsten at one time or another. She has always just been part of our family - and we love her and her mom too!
Later Kari and Megan came by - we went out for ice cream and then had pizza.
A nice relaxing day!
Enjoy life!

Happy Birthday Rich!
Pretend it is yesterday - June 9! The hurrier I am going the behinder I am getting!
Rich is off to Alberta, Canada on a bear hunt - so he won't even realize I am a day late!
Last year when he returned from this hunt he talked of how absolutely stinky he was - about 7 days out in the wild with no showers or shaving. This year it will be about 14 days out - so that will make him twice as hairy and twice as stinky!
We will enjoy celebrating our birthdays on Father's Day - and will hear all about the bear he got this year!
Enjoy life!

Steve, Steve, Steve
Pretend it is April 27th -
Happy Birthday Steve!!!
We celebrate our birthdays by the week so Steve had his birthday celebration but then I was out of town on his actual birthday and did not have the opportunity to write about him in this blog. After returning to Michigan, it was a good day if I remembered my own name!
So, Steve, you know you are loved and were certainly in our thoughts and prayers on your special day!! And you know how proud we are of you and your accomplishments!!
