Haven't heard from anybody about our latest read. I finished " The Last Lecture " some time ago. I think I'll read it again. I was close to death a few times in Vietnam but in most situations my involvement was measured in minutes. I didn't have a lot of time to contemplate. The author on the other hand had months to ponder his waning mortality. He faced it with courage and dignity. Quite a legacy for his family. Good choice Kara. May add more later. Larry

Happy Holidays!

Just a quick hello to everyone to say Happy Holidays. Even though we may not get to see everyone during the holiday season, we still think of all of you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Happy Birthday Emerson!!

On December 10th Emerson officially became a big 4 year old. She had her 4 year check up at the pediatrician yesterday. She weighed 37 lbs and was 42 1/2 in tall. Everything checked out great UNTIL the very end when nurse Camille entered the room and had 4 shots ready to fire. To say the least things got a little tense, but we both survived. Of course receiving 4 stickers, one dinosaur ring and a Christmas pencil didn't hurt either. She had a great birthday party and her all time favorite gift was her drum set.. thanks to Nana Karen and Papa Phil. She is a regular Tommy Lee from Motley Crue :)
