Happy Birthday Dario



I can not believe that Darius turned 11 on Saturday. We started out the day with a "panacake " breakfast, he had several chocolate chip and a huge glass of orange juice. He reminded us all day that it was his birthday. He had a balloon on the porch and lots of calls from family in Texas.
We let him pick the restaurant for his birthday dinner and he picked Chili's where he can get macaroni and cheese. We got a great Blessing while there. A couple told our waiter they were paying our total bill. He told us after they left. What a nice surprise. Darius sang with the staff at Chili's when they sang to him even cheering them on while they sang. They all sang in the car all the way home=them Greg and I gathered all the little kids and went upstairs, because Darius wanted to watch a movie on the big couch up there. They all feel asleep up there. What a great end to the day.
Darius has come so far in his lifetime. And thru it all his personalty continues to shine. His sense of humor is great and his timing is spot on too.
What would our lives be like without Darius ? I shudder to think.
Happy Birthday Darius.

My darling Daughters birthday


I was lucky enough to be able to go back to Houston last weekend to help my oldest daughter celebrate her 27th birthday. I can not believe she is 27 already, time seems to be flying by. We had a nice dinner at Papasitos on Friday night with Kevin, Joy, my mom and Katie. Then on Saturday us girls got to eat more mexican food and visit with Shanna and baby Avery Kate. We had a nice visit with my brother John and his family. I had not visited with them since moving to North Carolina. And on Satruday night we ventured down to Manvel to see Roger Creager band. What a good show. Then, on Sunday us girls shopped until it was time to head to the airport. And back to my loving husband on our eighth wedding anniversary.
Happy Birthday to my Darling Daughter.
