More Birthdays

Happy Birthday to the rest of friends and families who have birthdays this month. All the best to all of you!

Happy Birthday Uncle Chuck!

Happy Birthday to dear old Uncle Chuck! He took a little trip for the celebration, so I can't wish him on his big day, but I'm thinking about him! Best Wishes!

Happy Birthday Jenny!

Happy birthday to the new Momma, Jenny! For years Gary would comment that he was bummed that Jenny was born the day after his birthday. Now she's made it up to him! All the best to you honey!

Welcome Baby Olivia!

Today is Gary's birthday, which is usually a bittersweet day for me. Today I woke up to some fabulous news! Gary's niece Jenny had her baby girl today! What a nice surprise. When I found out she was due around this time, I hoped and prayed that she would have her baby today. She did and I'm delighted. Happy Birthday Olivia Kay!

Happy Birthday Jane!

Happy Birthday to my best friend's mom, Jane!

Happy Birthday Madison!

Happy Birthday to Gary's niece Madison. The big 9 today. Time flies! I hope you had a great day today!

Happy Birthday Bobbie & Nikki!

Happy Birthday to two of my cousins: Bobbie and Nikki. One from each side of the family. I hope you both had a great day! All the best!

Cardboard Classic

Today we did our 2nd annual (it is the event's 15th annual) cardboard classic. Grandpa D recycled the sled from last year and made some alterations to it. He and Elijah came in 13th place. Grandpa sat in front this year -- not sure if that worked for the better since they were in 10th place last year. Overall it was a good time and much warmer than the year before. It was also nice to not stress about getting on a flight to Orlando after the event!

The First Month of 09

Well, the first month of 2009 is coming to a close. It went fast. Then again, this month always seems to go fast. It has been a busy month, but no nearly as busy as previous years. I've seen some big changes with my company, my mom amd stepfather are still laid off, and my father is preparing for retirement. His company is closing its doors June 30. If this is any indication of how the year is going to go, we are in for a rough ride.

Happy Birthday Herbie!

Happy Birthday to my Uncle Herbie. He hasn't been well lately. I hope you are feeling better and have a great day!

Happy Birthday Lee Lee!

Happy birthday to my Aunt LeeLee. Every four years her birthday is on a special day which makes it even more memorable. All the best to you. Love you!

Congratulations Robert!

Today Elijah and I went to a Christening. It was for my best friend's grandson. Now that REALLY sounds wierd! He was so handsome in a white tuxedo. I was Robert's Godmother. He wasn't really excited about the baptism. A little water got on me and it cold (like everything in Michigan these days). After we dried him off, he was okay and even said "thank you" when the deacon put some oils on him.

I now have three Godchildren -- 2 boys and a girl. I pray that I can be a good influence on him.

Congratulations Robert Eli Lorenzo!

Congratulations Jenny & Matt!

Today I was at Gary's niece's baby shower. Doesn't that sound wierd? It does to me considering she was a little girl when I first met her. Now she's going to be a momma. It was a nice luncheon and it was good to see everyone. Jenny & Matt are driving back to Florida on Monday, so please say a prayer for them that they return home safely. By the way, if you didn't know, she's having a girl: Olivia Kaye.

Happy Birthday Kenny!

Happy Birthday to my uncle Kenny. I didn't get to speak with you on the phone, but I hope you had a great day. He had a nice party last weekend while he was in town. We didn't get to make it, but I spoke with him and it seemed like he was having a good time. Love ya . . . fool! ;-)

Happy Birthday Pops!

Happy Birthday to my father-in-law. We had a nice dinner this evening and were surprised with a cake! All the best to you for a great 2009. Love ya!

Happy Birthday Glenn!

Happy Birthday to my brother in law Glenn. The last of the December birthdays. Sounds like he had a good day when we called him. All the best to you!

Happy Birthday Sarah!

Happy Birthday to my niece Sarah. We did a little celebration this past weekend. I hope you had a great day! Love you!

Happy Birthday Elijah!

Happy birthday to my baby! I can't believe he is seven already! We had a great day at the movie theatre. Small party but a good time.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to two of my cousins: Debbie and Lorie. I hope you both enjoyed your days and I wish you all the best. Hope to see you on Christmas Eve.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday to my mom. It's been a little tough lately, but it's going to get better! I love you!
