Easter - April bdays




We are just an hour away from


April 12, 2009.


This is Easter Sunday.

He is Risen! Hallelujah!!

This is Kim's birthday - 36 this year!

Happy Birthday - we love you so much

and are so proud of the woman and

mother you are!

We will also celebrate Steve's 31st

birthday too! Just can't say enough

great things about our only son.

We look forward to celebrating with

our family on this special day -

and hopefully will post a few pictures

in the next few days.

The grandkids will have a special

surprise tomorrow - of course they

will get a little gift from Grandma and

Grandpa - and when they look into

the back yard they will find a

trampoline! Our neighbors had one

that had hardly even been used and the

cage was still in the box. They no longer

had any use for it and thought of the kiddies!

Russ and I worked about 5 hours to

get the cage up on it! Yikes!! Hope

they enjoy this along with their

swing set!


Tomorrow also brings some reflections and

sadness. We lost my mom 10 years ago on

April 12, 1999 - Kim's 26 th birthday. Hated

calling her that morning saying Happy Birthday

honey - and this is not going to be a good one

for you. And then having to call Michelle

when she was away on a business trip. Russ

broke the news to Steve and Kari. Even after

10 years I still see things and think I have to

call Mom and tell her about this. She was a

great Mom - and I won't forget - and I

don't think my kids will ever forget the

sacrifices she made for her family!


God is good!!
