Talkin 'bout my girl......

The time with family is always special, goes by too quickly, but cherished.....seems like our Missy had just arrived and it was time to go back home. Isn't that always the way?

We had a GREAT time, here are some of the faces, and places of the weekend :

A favorite place was the hot tub. Not a lot of time was spent actually IN the hot tub, but feet in, splashing and relaxing til the swimming pool heated up a bit.

Morning walks....those two can really move it !!!

A visit up to the club to introduce her to new friends that have heard so much

about her.

Heading to the beach for an evening watching the sunset.

A REAL favorite: time at the beach to relax, read, and catch some rays.

A few laughs with dad. People watching at the Hyatt hotel. Beautiful spot .

And of course, a ride with dad in the convertible!

Missy said that she "got to do everything I hoped to do". Hugs, walks together, relaxing and catching up on our lives....yup, everything we hoped to do ....

Spring break opportunity

My brother, Ryan and his family , Chris, Dylan, Kira and Emma rented a home with another family, for a week. They were in Florida, in a beautiful home on an island. Rick and I were grateful for the chance to spend some time with them ! Here, Emma (boy, her smile is just like her moms') is showing the million dollar bill that Rick gave her. She was pretty excited about such a great gift....no doubt she figured it out even with all the convincing "uncle Rick" did.Dylan is 16 now. Quite the cutie and full of confidence, not cockiness. He's great to visit with and has grown to be such a fun and loving guy (a lot like his dad)!!
Kira is a real beauty and friend to all ! She seems to make everyone around her feel special.

Aren't they just the cutest? Thanks again for the incredible time ! Looks like mom and dad will soon be the shortest ones in the family !

New Jersey TIme

Ah, a time to do just fun, everyday things with daughter Missy and her husband Jason. I certainly don't take these opportunities for granted. The weather was fantastic, so we took advantage of being outside whenever we could. Missy and her other mother Cheryl are planting some seeds in tiny "window sill" pots. Missy's face is even a little sun-kissed.
Jason has become quite the sought out educator and speaker. He has a group of eager learners

at one of his many seminars held after all day of working. He's captivating and very at ease, very fun to be in his audience !
Missy and I, along with 3 friends/co-workers, attend a health fair . She really loves being a chiropractor and sharing what she knows with people. It's wonderful seeing Missy and Jason so passionate about what they do...and it's just as wonderful, seeing others' benefit from what the two of them teach.

Ah...and I absolutely loved seeing Missy relax and have some time to day dream and enjoy

their beautiful back yard !
It was hard to leave New Jersey knowing that it would be awhile before I see them again. But

my heart is full of sweet memories ! Thanks to Missy and Jason for making me feel so at home with them !!
