Have a wonderful birthday today, Clare. I wish you were closer and we could go out for margaritas or something. I guess we’ll have to take a rain check on that and when we finally meet up again, make up for lost time.

Love you and thanks for being such a fun and very intelligent, sister in law.

Happy Birthday, Titus and David! Handy having our brothers born on the same day. Are you both born in 1979 too? I pray you guys have a wonderful birthday and a great year ahead.  My birthday wish (on your behalf) is that we maybe actually meet up one of these days.

Titus,  I’m feeling kind of forsaken. I understand your love of all things Japanese, their country, their food, a gorgeous, talented Japanese woman and of two lovely, half Japanese children, but remember us all over here and come see us every now and then? Today though (or is it yesterday or tomorrow over there… confusing), may Mia throw you some incredibly unique and fun birthday celebration. I love stalking your blog and trying to steal some of Mia’s creativity. Not working so far, but it’s fun trying. Ah, well, Happy Birthday and give Deren and Kaelyn a kiss from their auntie!

And David, I’ll get Justin to post something embarrassing about you on his site. Maybe something to commemorate all the evil pranks you pulled on his innocent self, especially around April Fools Day! Hmm… Shame on you for picking on my sweet, undeserving, innocent husband to be. (For David’s eyes only: Nyahah. I hope you got him good and get him good again someday.) Happy Birthday to you too and I hope you’re out partying and enjoying yourself. Kisses to Brendon and Kylee.

P.S. to David… apparently my husband is a little quicker on the draw than I am. So much for all that talk about how guys so easily forget their family. –BUT, now try to get him to come VISIT his family.

Happy New Years!

We had a quieter new years than years past. We spent the evening and wee morning hours talking, snacking and playing games with some of our friends.  Very low key and nice. Violet slept and Jude was good. We paid for it the next morning, however, with both Violet and Jude giving us an early reveille. Ah, well. It was worth it!

We had a little excitement though. I was being spacey last night and tried to walk through the glass door in the kitchen. I broke the door with my knee and got a few kind of extensive injuries on my leg. Cassie and Justin heard the commotion and came to the rescue with Cassie helping rush me to ER where I ended up with 20 stitches. Phew. Glad that one’s behind me. I still haven’t looked at my injuries. I’m a sissy with those kinds of things and didn’t want to be fainting. I’ll probably have a few “reminders” of the events of January 1, 2009. I’d appreciate prayers that the cuts heal quickly without any complications or infections. Also, please pray that Jude is understanding of me not being able to rock him for at least a week and that there wont’ be any negative side effects with him from the antibiotics. He and Dad will get to know each other well, I think.

Happy New Year!

I know I’m a tad bit late, but at least I was on time with the call. I love you though and you know that if I wasn’t technologically impaired at the moment thanks to a little one who believes such things are unimportant when compared to non stop cuddling, I would have been on time.

I think mom said it all best, so I’ll just wish you a wonderful happy birthday and new year with lots of prayers for the car to keep running, maybe for a new favorite movie to come out, for few lost articles off the top of your car, for someone to join your team who likes making coffee… um, what else? Lots of chicken friend steak that miraculously has no bad chlorestorol or however you spell that.

love you, dad. Hopefully we’ll get to see you again this year… on one of our camping trips? Nyahahah.

We hope you’re having a delicious turkey dinner with plenty of other goodie. I had big plans to post new pics and all for Jude’s 4 week/1 month birthday, but then, I got sick and now Justin is sick with the flu. So, that’s my excuse. We had a wonderful meal tonight though. Dr. Chris and Niki are just about the best holiday chefs around. I have new pics though. You know me! Can’t resist the camera addiction. Ah, well.

Happy Holidays, y’all! (the Texan in me surfacing again)

Happy birthday, Mom! Thanks so much for everything — especially for helping me/us so much recently. We really miss you though and would like to recommend California as a wonderful place for you and Dad to retire in? Teri would love babysitting her niece and nephew, don’t you think?  Ah, I know I’ll never convert hard core Texans away from “god’s country” but I can wish.

I love you though and am praying your birthday is special and fun. I have a list of special prayers for the year, which include a prayer many healthy and happy golden doodle pups, a new gas efficient vehicle with excellent AC (maybe thanks to those golden doodle pups) . Maybe another grandchild (not from me hopefully) or at least many visits from your children and grandkids. I’d love it if a trip to Yosemite was in the cards this year too or at least another trip out west — and many more. We send lots of love and wish we could take you out to eat or to a movie like the good old days. Dad and Teri will have to fill in for us.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, little sis! You thought I’d forget, didn’t you?
Have a wonderful year ahead. It’s weird having my baby sister turn teen on me. Makes me feel old. Maybe I AM old! I will really try not to be jealous of all the perks of being the baby of the family — mom’s undivided attention, the horseback riding lessons, the music lessons, AND… the braces. Grrrrr. Ah, well… Happy new year. I hope it’s a blast! Love ya!

Wow, it’s rare you don’t know what the sex is until it’s born. Maybe Titus and Mia knew, but I didn’t. I just heard that she had a girl sometime today. No details yet. Just a quick email from Titus on his way back to the hospital with Deren. SO exciting and a big hug and kiss from Justin, Violet and I. We love you and can’t wait to see pictures.
