Happy Thanksgiving

Patrick hosted us for Thanksgiving this year. The food was delicious, the company was great, and the Christmas lights were awesome! Thanks Patrick for a very fun Thanksgiving! We are thankful for you for being a terrific son and brother.

After a fun evening at Patricks Brianna and Donna enjoyed our yearly viewing of

Veterans Day 2009

Remembering Grandpa Joe on Veterans Day

We went to the cemetery to spend some time honoring Grandpa Joe this morning.

It was a beautiful day, with lots of sunshine.

I wish that I could remember all the great stories Joe shared both while he served in the Navy and ones from the adventures from his life.

We have so many fun memories of him from the years he was part of our lives.

We are so thankful for all he did for our country and our family.

We love you Grandpa Joe!!!

Luke loved talking on the radio in the fire truck.
