Happy Birthday Kelly & Katelyn


HAPPY BIRTHDAY 
KELLY Megan!
We can't be with Kelly on her birthday this year. 
That makes me sad!  I have a lot of great memories 
of the  day she was born. She is our 5th daughter and
 we can't imagine our life without her! We love
 you Kelly and can't wait to see you in a few days!

18 1/2 inches
6lbs 1/2 oz.
Dan bought each of our girls an outfit to wear home
from the hospital. Kelly got a Penn State Cheerleader
uniform. It was huge!  The nurses at the hospital
paraded her up and down the halls showing 
everyone her outfit.!  A year latter, Kelly wore this 
dress on her first birthday!
What a joy it was to dedicate you back to God!
Kelly, thanks for your Godly example. Your desire to
 find God in everything you do, is an example to me!
To our granddaughter 
Katelyn Elizabeth!
Happy 6th birthday girlie! You make us laugh 
and we love your witty personality! Our prayer
is that you grow strong in the Lord and follow
Him all the days of your life!
Pops & Granny love you so!

It's is so awesome that Kelly a daughter and Katelyn
a granddaughter, have the same birthdays! May you
two have many more!

My sister Elena


A burp cloth can keep baby's unexpected little messes
 from hitting unexpected places! 
My sister Elena sent me a burp cloth in the mail today.
She makes them and if anyone wants one, let me know!
They are made out of a cloth baby diaper.
They sure are cute!

Happy 8th Birthday Michael

We celebrated Michael's 8th Birthday In Pa.
Mikey loves monkeys and so I made him a
Monkey Fleece!
Mikey is a very outgoing 8 year old who loves 
to play football.  He's witty and fun to be around!
Pops and Granny love you Mikey!
Pops and Mikey practice a few football techniques.

We had dinner at "Let's Play The Coliseum"
Dinner was a Margarita Pizza and freshly
 made Potato Chips!
We bowled with pins that are attached to strings. This 
was very difficult, yet Jennifer managed to bowl a Strike!

Pops, Mikey & Christopher shot baskets, while 
Brian Jr and Brian Sr. played Ghost Squad.
The car racing was my favorite!
You can drive alone or share the driving.
They boys were pretty good at these games!  

I shot a few videos of our fun!

Thank You ROSES

Meet 4 extraordinary woman in my life. Three happen
to be our daughters and one, my sister! Each plays a 
huge roll in our family, as well as in others lives. 
Dan & I sent each one of them roses.
My sister Laura who lives in Connecticut, my home
state was the first to receive her flowers. She is a
working women who also takes care of my Dad, who
has Alzheimers. Having had my grandfather live with
us when younger, I know how difficult things can get
when that disease takes over. Laura you are one of 
my heroes! Thanks for using your gifts to serve Dad!
~
Jennifer & Danielle are teachers. Your students 
are blessed to have such dedicated teachers!
Karen is a nurse and works at the nursing home
that Dan's Mom is in. I can't tell you what a 
relief it is, to know she is looked after by
a dedicated nurse like Karen!
~
You are all special woman to me.
May God continue to use you to Bless Others!
~
Thanks for sending me photos!
Many, O LORD my God, 
are the wonders you have done. 
The things you planned for us 
no one can recount to you; 
were I to speak and tell of them, 
they would be too many to declare.
Psalm 40:5

Kara & Joshua


A few weeks ago I was in Pennsylvania. It was great
to see the grandchildren. 
I brought the wig and Kara had fun trying it on.
Oh how much fun you can have with a wig
that cost me a buck!
Kara is 5 1/2 years old.

Aunt Brittany made sure Poodie got lots of 
Lovins!
He enjoyed a basket ride around the family room.
Joshua is 2 1/2 years old.
He was so cute! He tried to push Aunt Brittany around too!
