OK, it's going to be a very busy summer so I thought I would get the blog going again. I should have lots of pictures to post and some things to tell about. Tomorrow I set out for Aruba with Cathy. I can't wait. We are going to have so much fun. A lot of relaxing too hopefully. I don't think there will be much blogging in Aruba but the day after we get back I will be hitting the road with Mom, Aunt Lois, Krissy, Birke and Mike. Three to four weeks and I will have a lot to blog about. See ya when I get back from Aruba.

Cruise 2010

Went on my first cruise with the girls. This was a great weekend. I took some great pictures. I will post them for you to see.

WINTER WINTER WINTER

Long Winter

Wow its been to long since I did this. It was a quick summer but it has been a pretty long winter. Just when you think you are done it snows again. I think it has been a reacord breaking winter here in Virginia. I don't think I like the snow any more. I will post some pictures. My Aunt Paula (who was also my Godmother)passed away this week. It hit me a lot harder than I thought it would. I hadn't seen her in over 25 years. We were planning on having a little reunion this summer. I was so looking forward to seeing her. I really wish I hadn't waited so long. She will never get to see my boys and for that I am truely sad. They would have benefitted from knowing her. I have few memories of my dads side of the family but I do remember the love I always felt around Aunt Paula. She would send me little notes and tell me how proud she was of me. I am greatful that I was in contact with her. Finding her and Aunt Kay was a good thing. No matter what my dad does they are still family and if I've learned anything its that you should never take that for granted. They won't be there forever no matter what you believe or want. Take time everyday to make those moments count.

I just really love this picture. Tomorrow is Kyles 14th birthday. I can't believe it. He has a friend spending the night tonight and tomorrow we are taking him out to lunch. He has really changed a lot in the last 6 months and not just in the fact that he has grown probably 5 inches. He is going to high school in the fall and he is going unmedicated for the first time since he was 5. Very scary for this ole mom.

The best day we have had as a family in a long time. The boys got along and actually had a good time. They were laughing and running. Did my old heart a world of good. It is these little moments that get me through all the rest.

Zac Brown Band

This was dinner before the ZBB concert. It was the same weekend as the Legwarmers. I think we realized that one concert a weekend was probably enough. Had a lot of fun though. ZBB was playing at the Birchmere in Alexandria. It was a pretty small place but the sound was awesome. They really put on a great show. Worth seeing over and over.
