Missing You

~ My Brother ~ My Friend ~

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.

A brother is a friend given by Nature. ~Jean Baptiste Legouve

The memory of a good person is a blessing. Proverb 10:7

Gone yet not forgotten,
although we are apart,
your spirit lives within me,
forever in my heart.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Ryan not only picked his own green clothes to wear today but also his brothers and mine. He was so excited that today was St. Patrick's Day and that it was his swim day at school. Ryan begged me to come to school today and see him and I did have some time so I sorta just sneaked out twice.... I first was gone for about 10 minutes to take him into school. I got to take off his coat and see him into his classroom, give him a hug and kiss goodbye. The second time I got to watch him swim, and let me tell you he really is doing a great job! He still is uncertain about putting his head under water but he was willing today to put his face in the water! It really is a treat to see him swim! I love it. Cooper does awesome too and is still a little braver than Ryan. Cooper was the leader of their class today. Trish got to be the Mom helper today in the classroom, we both eat this up when it is our childs turn! I only wish I could be there to help the whole time, but I will take the time that I can get!
Well anyway.... I hope everyone has a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy Anniversary

Yesterday would have been Jeff and Jamie's 22nd Anniversary. So Happy Anniversary and I am thinking of both of you!!!! I just love this picture of them, don't you?

Hello Aunt Julie, Uncle Eddie, Nana & Papa

Have fun at the Casino! Win, win, win!

Nana & Papa sighting

Nana flew down to see Papa at Aunt Julie and Uncle Eddie's on Thursday. They have already been to the Casino and Red Lobster. They visited Uncle Eddie at his bar on the beach last night and then today they are going back to the Casino to spend the night and their money! We hope you win!!!!!! We love and miss you all! XOXOXOXO, Kennedy, Ryan, Cooper and Landon :)

Papa sighting

Papa visited with Paul and Sheila Meese for the past couple of days at their Florida home! We are sure that he had a super time and that he is very thankful that he got to go and stay with them! Word has it that he went and played Bingo with them! We haven't heard yet whether or not he got to yell, "Bingo" or not but we hope he tells us all about it when he gets back. Hey, maybe he will take us to bingo sometime too! (**Update**- Papa won two times at Bingo! He won $5 both games: it cost him $9.00 to play so technically he only won $1.00)!
We heard that today he got to play golf with Uncle Eddie and that the weather was in the 70's. Papa- it hit double digits here today too! (However a 1 was in front of the second number!) We are sure you can't wait to come home to see us kids, and of course to dress warm again and probably have your hands crack open again too. Sounds great huh? Well, we will definitely try to get it to warm up a little before you decide to return. We miss and love you lots! Take care of yourself and give kisses to our Aunt Julie! XOXOXOXO, Kennedy, Ryan, Cooper & Landon :)

Look How Cute!

Look how cute they are at 1! I was just going through some pictures and thought I would post the kids pictures at 1 years old! Ryan, Kennedy, Landon & Cooper! Love them!
