Time

Well, I'm finally moving into the digital age. I have a Face Book account or page. Now I can keep track of the family, even from my cell phone. That's right, the internet from the cell phone. Who would have thought such a thing was possible several years ago? Talk about science fiction but today.
My parents are celebrating their wedding anniversary - 62 years!! Their marriage has been perfect, but they do love each other and God has kept them together. My dad is so gentle and caring with my mom that his example of grace is showing through his actions. What a testimony and heritage that I have. It's most likely their last anniversary together this side of heaven, which makes it all the more sweet.
Remember your loved ones and family today, I know I will be. Take the time to call them and tell them how much they mean to you. There is no time like right now to say I love you!

July Birthdays

Another weekend has come and gone. We spent it again with family. On Monday we had our July birthday celebration. Hannah was 4 this year, Amy's birthday is next week and mine was Sunday. Here are some fun pictures from said event. Ayen makes the best lumpia EVER!!! We ate our share of lumpia for sure. Mom and dad were able to make it out for the day. Mom is weak but hanging in there. Our living room couch is getting its share of nappers. It's a firm couch and perfect for napping! Hannah and Will are all about staging the photo op kiss. They do love their Oma and Opa.

Catch Up

So, in the last 2 weeks here's what has happened. My mom spent 8 days in the hospital, and was released home with Hospice. Not good news but not unexpected. The doctor gave her 6-8 weeks to live. She knows the end result, Heaven, but is blissfully unaware of the road between here and there. She's eating well, has no pain, and is mostly mobile. My dad is coping as best he can, but he still has the burden of caring for mom.
My in laws came up for a weekend and brought furniture, so now our living room has an end table and coffee table. Naturally they did some "touch up" and the pieces look totally different. Now our living room doesn't look so empty. We're currently searching for pictures to place on the walls... Something we both like.
Both of my moms siblings have been to visit last week, that was really nice. My side of the family has been here a lot. Today we're celebrating the July birthdays. Mostly the 4 year old's birthday. I'm now 45??!! How did that happen? I feel like I'm in my twenties, weird how time flies.
We had a great 4th of July out on the water. We were boating, jet skiing and swimming in the river, which was as warm as bath water. Water sports will wear you out!
