29 years and counting!

It has been 29 years since Bud and I married.

I'm not sure where the time has gone,

but it has passed quietly by - and sometimes not so quietly!

I wish all our stuff wasn't packed
and I could scan some pictures of when

we were younger and skinnier,
not to mention no gray hair.

Although I do like this part of our life the best!

Not too long afterward, this one showed up in our life!

That was 27 1/2 years ago and nothing has been the same since.

She was busy, talkative and had a great imagination.

Then this guy came along about 3 years later.  

We thought his sister was busy - HA!

He turned everything upside down!

BUSY,  BUSY,  BUSY was he.

He was sweet and kind and he loved his big sister.

And they have been harassing each other ever since.

Where in the heck did this guy come from?

He was added to the family about 10 years ago.

We love him; he's smart, funny and did I mention a nerd?

Don't worry, that is what he calls himself.

(I couldn't find a picture of him by himself.)

About 4 1/2 years ago we got the best addition -

our own little Elmer Fudd!

Isn't he cute?

He is our best little buddy!

He is smart, talkative and has a great imagination -

just like his mother!  Paybacks are great, aren't they?

One of my favorite pictures!

She was feeling left out!

She had to join the party.

Such a cute little bug.

She has tons of personality.  Loves to eat chips!

Loves to eat anything really, it is what she does best.

She is a joy to have around and like her mama and uncle -

she and her brother are best buddies!

Our life was feeling pretty complete except for one thing -

We needed one of these for our son!

She is tiny, soft spoken and talented.

She plays the violin beautifully.

She also has a great personality - keeps Bud, Jr. in place!

Ah, much better.

Life doesn't get much better than this!

Oh wait, yes it does - baby #3 is coming in August!  Yeah

(and no, it isn't our son's!  Way to go Snortney!)

I love you guys and so glad that I married Bud those 29 years ago.

All this happiness . . .
