"Go East", they said...: Our baby turns TEN!

Dear Friend;

Come along, make haste and join us in our adventures while living "In The East".

We are living in the east, geographically speaking, after a sudden work transfer beckoned us almost across the entire country, splitting our family in half with grown children/grandchildren remaining behind on the west coast.

We moved into our new home April/06 but never knew it would be God's providence to endure another move for work and positioning for a future medical situation. We moved again amidst 4 feet of snow in mid Dec/08.

We hope to continue sharing our pioneering moments with our family and friends back home, creating an environment for tenderly passing along the new memories we'll be making over here in the east, those that will stand the test of time in both thought and deed.

Sprinkling some ambiance into the mix will be a fully loaded and most positive outlook while we're on this adventure and new challenge together.

Please join us while we journey onward. Feel free to email me with your comments, questions or ideas. We welcome you here.

Sursum Corda!
Renee

Our baby turns TEN!

Our baby turns

TEN!

The same day my husband was admitted to the hospital this week was was our youngest daughter's birthday, the day when she left single digit numbers for doubles.

As there are metal allergies in our family, I played it safe with two of the girls and asked them to wait until they were older; a ten year birthday milestone seemed good to do this as there are so many other things to look forward to in later years; makeup, driving, etc..

She won a medal for bravery this day, no tears!

But, it isn't a slight thing when a young gal has nieces with pierced earrings as young as three months old, but she was ultra patient in waiting until this week.

Traditional mom/dad and birthday child

breakfast together was early this year

In lieu of her father entering the hospital on her exact birthday, we had our traditional mom/dad and birthday child (only) out for a birthday breakfast last Saturday, followed by her ears pierced on Monday so her daddy could see before he left. That was something she had asked for; Daddy to be able to see the end results.
