Happy 24th Birthday Kyle!

because-hes-your-son

Today… I say Happy Birthday to Kyle!

Kyle lives life the way we should all live life.  I have always told him to “do it right the first time” and he has done that.  He embraces every breath he is blessed to take. Kyle is handsome on the outside but even more beautiful on the inside.  His strong, radiating, “love life and live life to the fullest” spirit blesses all who know him.  Here’s to you, Kyle!  Thank you for 24 wonderful years!  You bless us more than you could ever know.  (I will be writing more about my two incredible sons later!)

Squeeky (that’s little Clynese) and Jon have a special new addition to their beautiful family.  Everyone… meet:

“Tina Kaye!”

What a “very pink” precious little angel!

They call her “Tiki” for short!  That’s too cute!

I know Teen and Jimmy are just BEAMING!

Tiki weighed 6 pounds 5 oz. when she was born.  She is 18 1/2 inches long.  She came into this world at 7:52 am on Feb. 3, 2009.
 
Squeek says:  “She is a really good, sweet baby.  Not fussy at all.  I feel so blessed to have her.  I had forgotten how magical it is to have a little infant around.  I am just head over heels in love with her.  🙂  We are both doing well.  I had a c-section, and they let me go home after only two days.  I was happy about that.”

Drop them all a note and congratulate them if you get a chance!

New Photo of Sweet Ava

ava_1-09

A sweet, new photo of Lee’s beautiful granddaughter, Ava (daughter of Richard and Lacey).  What a precious baby girl!

Yes, indeed!  “Simply Perfect,

Our So Very Pink, Sweet, Little Pig-tailed Ava!”

Hey folks!  Post a note to Lee!

A Couple of Our Military Men

Sara’s grandson, Richard, (Lee’s son), served a tour in Iraq.  He followed in the footsteps of his father, Hugh, who served in Vietnam.

Richard  honorably served with the 204th Military Police, Bladerunners in Baghdad, Iraq for a one year tour as an MP.  Richard was there during the period of time Saddam was captured:  an extremely violent time to be there.  We thank God he is now home safe with us, enjoying his beautiful new baby girl.

richard_home-for-ChristmasRichard, finally home for Christmas!

Hugh (Photo Below) was stationed in Phi Bui, Vietnam with the 101st Airborne.  His treacherous job was to patrol the jungles, rivers, and deny the enemy access into Phi Bui.  This duty was a result of the successful capturing of Phi Bui in 1968.  Hugh honorably served his country in Vietnam from January 1971 to December, 1971.

Hugh and Lee (Sara and Dave’s oldest daughter), have a daughter, Chaundra;  a son, Richard (pictured above) and Teresa, their youngest daughter.

Both men saw combat during their time in service.  They served their country well.  We are all incredibly proud of both of them and will forever be grateful to them for their service and great sacrifice.  Words are, as always, so insufficient in expressing gratitude for all that “they and hundreds of thousands of others” have given.
