Happy Birthday Dad

By -
Yesterday I spent some time at the cemetary talking to my dad & mom & sister who are there with him. It was my dad's 90th birthday. The three of them were almost my entire life in my real early years and I spent a lot of fun times with them a little later on. I have a lot of really good memories.  It's sometimes hard not to have them around any more when I think about it.  I do miss them.  Time marches on and there is no pulling it back.  Happy birthday dad.

The most important thing to do as we remember them is to live our lives here such that there will be no regrets when we join them...so that we can have those we love most eternally.

Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
