DID SOMEONE SAY TURKEY

We hope that everyone had a most wonderful Thanksgiving. I know that we sure did. It is great to have the older kids home. Michael was here with the girls. Also Marshal was home. Mallory was not able to make it and Maxwell called about a dozen times. Here we had as many as we could find to pile on the couch for that so called family picture. Michael got both of the girls...meaning LisaMarie and Haylee to smell their pie and they both did as he pushed their face into the whipped cream. It was very funny, though I will admit here in writing that if that had been done at my home as a child, well lets just say my mom would have been very upset.

Now, do we have any offers to help decorate for Christmas?

Love to all,
The Simon Family

How Funny! Yes you are right about mom not thinking it would be funny had that of happened when WE were growing up. Isn't it neat how things have changed? The girls both look like they thought it was great fun that dad shoved their faces into the whipped cream. Y'all have such a wonderfully loving family. I am proud to be your sister and thier Aunt!

Love, Aunt Tammy

HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY!!!! How does one even begin to express the joy that I feel in my heart and soul for being blessed to have been married to the most wonderful man for 30 years? The bottom line, I can't Anything I write here is a feeble attempt to try to convey what is in my heart. My cup truly runneth over. My wishes, that both of my parents were alive to see this day. My daddy came close, my mom not so. They had their doubts about Merrill and in the end they both knew that he was all that I ever really needed and in him I could really have everything I ever dreamed of. How does one really reflect over the past 30 years of life. Life in and of itself is just amazing. We all go through up and downs. We all face day to day challenges that at times we are not sure we will ride it out. Many times we lose the battles, but in the end we really win the war. We have had to say goodbye to so many people that we loved and cherished. Some of those went in a proper time frame, many of tho...

FACING REALITY...and it is HARD

I am sitting here and wanting to write in our blog, but I feel that this post will be such a downer really. It is about intense feelings and sometimes feelings that are this intense are better left unsaid. Still, I want to say it, write it, get it all out. I miss my Daddy. I really just plain miss my Daddy. My Mom has been gone for over 21 years now and I did not think I could go on when she died. I mean she was my Mom for crying out loud. She taught me so very much. She taught me how to loose a child and survive it. Still she never lost a parent, while she was alive. When she died, I still had my daddy. I guess that is what made it all okay in the long run. Now, he is gone too. I miss him. I miss telling him things, both good and bad. I miss talking to him about the Holidays and about life in general. I miss trying to figure out what I was going to give him for Christmas, His Birthday and Father's day. I miss his laughter and how he was always joking around. I miss how he answered...

WOW, first of all, I am in shock with the email that I have received. It is unreal that someone even thinks this highly about this family. We see us as a mom and a dad to many children...that is true....but something this wonderful...well, I am not sure about that. Rather than try to explain it, here are excerpts from the email.... The nationwide famous and wealthy PEW Foundation contacted us at Sierra Association of Foster Families.. they asked us to give them info on a family in Nevada who has adopted children and who is AN OUTSTANDING ADOPTIVE FAMILY in our state.. I wrote the nomination about you two.. and your family WHEN you win.. you will be invited ( i'm sure all expenses paid) to Capital Hill to receive the CONGRESSIONAL COALITION ADOPTION ANGEL AWARD and a big dinner with the politicians including maybe... First Lady Laura Bush..so.. you are nominated per us at SAFF... tell your children.. put it on your blog..to us the Merrill Simon Family is the OUTSTANDING ADOPTIVE FA...
