Some Days are just Perfect

This past Saturday was a perfect day in my life. Becky came home from Washington DC for the weekend so the family could celebrate her Birthday since she would not be home on the 4th of November. It was decided by our children what the adventures of the day would be. Lori, Becky, and the grandkiddies headed over to the Orchard to get pumpkins. Once they returned then Greg, Michael, and I helped turn them into jack o lanterns. Once Kevin got out of work we headed to a corn maze that was totally awesome as it was last year. We added Michael, Cameron, and Brandon to the adventures this year but Trent was not able to join us but hopefully next year. After the corn maze we all went out for dinner and then back home for cake, pie, and ice cream to celebrate 24 years since Becky's birth. Afterwards we headed outside in the dark and played kick the can and sardines. This was the first time the little ones got to play and I think if you asked them they would say that was the best part of the day. I thanked God that night for giving us these children and that they still love going with their parents on adventures. Thanks kids

Stride for Breast Cancer 2007

After layering my clothes I headed outside to 35 degrees weather and to Lori's house. Yes, my Lori always keeps me on the right path to help others. Lori, Breaunna, and I received donations from family and friends and headed to Flint to participate in the strides towards Breast Cancer walk. Greg's Mother has been a survivor for over 20 years. It started at the mall and we walked 3.5 miles. Ms. Breaunna's feet got tired half way through and Lori had to carry her a little bit but we made it. It always makes me feel better once I get back from an event like this.

WHAT ...Court area is gone

After many hours of tearing down the wall it is gone. We spent about ten days knocking down the wall and hauling bricks. A Mason came over and fixed the end pieces of the walls and the chimneys. Here is a couple pictures of Lori, Michael and Greg standing where there was once a wall
