Mom and Dad's Anniversary

This summer marked a milestone for my mom and dad. They celebrated 60 years together! In anybody's book, that is an accomplishment. I praise God for the heritage that is mine from these two sweet people - my parents.


I don't know why this pic keeps on coming up sideways. It did not seem to matter for we ate it anyway!



Mom was introduced to the newest grandchild on our side - Naomi Kelly - a mere 81 years her younger!


The barbershop quartet that I sing with, "The Only Town Four" were gracious enough to make the trip down to my parents to sing. My mom and dad haven't heard me sing since I was in High School All-State so that was a thrill for them as well as for me. It was touching as we sang "Love Me Tender, Love Me True" and I saw dad holding mom's hand as he cried. Wow.




These two are trouble when they get together. Miah and Weston, Doug's boy (one of them!)


Here is Doug's girl (one of them) Ali with Naomi,


And here is DaniRai with Doug's girl (one of them) Anna


And then there is AnaGrace playing with BFF Rachel.


Here are "da'Boys" with mom and dad. Doug, David and Don.

This is a pic of the entire clan that made it. We were missing a few due to distance and other obligations but most of us were there for mom and dad.


And this it specifically the line that went through me. My two boys Ben and Joel as well as my other boy, Dan along with my daughter Kelly and my other two daughters, Jill and Anna.


Love ya' mom and dad.............and thanks.
