Mom Walked Up a Step Today!

I am so proud of her! She will be independent before we know it!

Black Belt Hai!

I am a few weeks late on this but here is Jake on November 3rd testing for his black belt in Tae Kwon Do. We are so proud of him. We won't know for sure if he has the black belt until January but we are pulling for him.

Going With Anna and Jake to Greg's Party

We have just had a really nice time in Richmond. Greg was respectful, Laura was super nice. Mind you this is the nicest time I have had with Greg in a couple of years. The chase for the gold changes people and Greg is no exception. Stuff, stuff, stuff. This is the mantra of the greedy. Greg has everything he could want. Huge lcd televisions throughout the house, 9 foot hi-def projector in the basement, high-end appliances, hot tub, big workshop with tools probably doesn't even know the uses for. Believe you me, they want for very little. They are up to there eyeballs in debt but hey, that's what makes them happy. That said, they seem happier than I have seen them in a long time. Maybe having a baby is changing them some. They don't seem to enjoy parenthood but I think it is changing them nonetheless. All of this reminds me of one thing. I am in love, happy with my life for the most part and have a wonderful future step-son. Life is good! Sometimes it takes looking at others to realize what you have and to figure out just how good it is.

Halloween and Things I Like!

Ok, so Gene sent me this awesome picture of him and Tuesday on Halloween! Man those are some great costumes! Excellent use of fabric to restrain the kids! Ok, that was out of line but man I like the angel outfit. I love the horns Gene! It is nice to hear from Gene. We just don't spend enough time with him anymore. Ah well, soon...

Tom and Anna

Me and the beautiful LOVE of my life. She thinks this picture is goofy. I think we look happy. So, there you go. Different ways of seeing the same thing.
