Maddy

She wanted her picture taken again, after her hair was done! Oh the vanity of youth!!!!!!

Balloons

Yes, Maddy was in on the action as well. She loves the balloons, but accidentally let a few get loose. She is warming back up up to the camera too!

Happy Birthday Nick!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY

BIRTHDAY TO YOU

Today is NJ's sweet 16. Here are a couple of shots to remember the day. He got his first car today, and as you can see.... Really liked it!

OH HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. Here's remembering Wednesday, May 13, 1992. You weren't quite as tall that day, and now you certainly weigh more! You have more teeth and you talk a lot more. Haven't heard you coo in years and at least for now, you aren't using diapers. You feed yourself now, with food put lovingly on a plate by your mother. But perhaps the biggest change in life comes with your first car. Your ability to come and go and GO and GO and GO!

A really smart man once said "Oh be wise, what can I say more?"

Oh be wise and make good choices Nicholas. As you depart on the venture that goes from Mom and Dad, to you, into adulthood. One day you will be man and wife. Then kids of your own, and then before you know it, you'll have a car for your baby. With fear and anxiety, you'll provide a freedom to be cherished! And send them into the world, as we send you!

We love you Nick!

HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY!

Don't enjoy this too much!

And good luck in all the great things that are surely in store for you!

Life has been a bit crazy again this week.

Extended family commitments have set the table for a relaxing week next week. We're preparing for a week of fishing that will lead into a surprise family birthday party at the end of the week. It won't matter if we catch fish or not, it's not about the fish. It's about the time with my brother enjoying nature! Life is for living and enjoying and that's the main point of this week.

Surely more to follow!

Enjoy!!!!!!!!
