Nicole's New Jewelry Box

Nicole helped Grandpa make her a Jewelry Box. She did such a good job sanding the wood smooth. After many hours of a labor of love from Grandpa, we delivered the finished box to her on her birthday last Saturday.

Grandpa even covered the inside with red felt and made a smaller litte box to go inside for her rings and other small items. There are also gold hooks for her necklaces and bracelets to hang on.

We can't believe Nicole is now an official teenager. Skyler you're next. Wow, what happen to these babies that grew up. I'm feeling very old.

I think over the years she will really remember this neat item, more and more, because it is a one of a kind from the special hands of Grandpa.

Grandpa and I love all of you unique grandchildren. You make us proud and we love each and every one of you!!!!

Our Beloved Michael-please DON'T FORGET HIM

Here are my two specials guys in my life...beloved Michael & Roger

These lawn mowing scenes will be forever etched in my mind.

Michael is a bad driver so Roger has to hold onto his shirt or we would have a run away driver on our hands.

Hey, family don't ever forget this sweet guy. He has lots of love to offer in his own special way.

I hope when we are dead and gone that you will NEVER forget him. He loves to be with his family.

He recognized where "home" is and he knows mom and dad and would love to know you better.

Take a chance and spend some time with him. He loved to mow the lawn, eat out, go swimming.

AND most important..JUST HANG OUT WITH HIS FAMILY.
