Giving Props

Have you ever met anyone who seemed to succeed at everything they do? You know, someone with the Midas touch. Well, that is my little brother Mike. He has always been able to do whatever he put his mind to, and he usually did it very well.

That is not to say he doesn't work hard, but he does well at what he does, and always has. Mike is my little brother (and I love calling him "little brother" because I am the only one who can), and I remember thinking, "Wow, Mike is really cool." when I was about 6 or 7 (he would have been 4 or 5). I was never very "cool", but Mike new how to have fun and found friends everywhere he went and seemed to pick up games and sports immediately.

Recently my little brother graduated from Dental School. Of course he graduated top of his class, and he is now moving to Missouri to specialize and become a Periodontist. It's not that I don't think he is smart enough or anything, but it still seems crazy to me that my little brother is a Dr. now.
I am very proud of him, and I know he will do well in his next adventure. I am also so impressed with his beautiful wife and daughters. Angela has been such a trooper through the past few years, moving across the country to Fl. and managing to make a beautiful home and raise her gorgeous daughters (seriously, can you believe how beautiful their little family is).
Congratulations Little Brother. Keep up that Midas touch. Look forward to seeing you soon.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
