One year older....

And I wish I could say wiser too! So Friday was my birthday, and it was horrible. Sick kids, sick husband.....ugg- why today! But it ended great, with us dropping the kids off for the weekend with Grandma. We headed out of town to celebrate our 9th anniversary . Yes- you heard that right- 9 years. I couldn't believe it really has been that many years, because I swear to ya that I'm not that much older than I was when we got married, but somehow it has happened. So we went to the Dallas Aquarium which was lots of fun- I wish we had taken a camera, next time I won't forget. And then we went to the Dallas Stars/ Detroit Red Wings hockey game. We had so much fun. See highlights of the game here.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today 61 years ago, twin boys were born to Allyn and Louise. They were given the names Merlyn J and Earlyn K. They were small Earlyn being the smallest. They had two older sisters Carma and Ranae. A baby boy for each girl to hold. Saddly Earlyn was just too small and was not able to pull through and the next day he passed on. For the next 57 years Merlyn would celebrate their birthday without his twin. The past 4, they have been reunited. So today my thoughts are with my memories. I might have to go have a slice of cake and top it with ice cream. Happy Birthday Uncle Earlyn! And Happy Birthday Dad!
