OUR GIRL GOES SNOWSHOEING

Char and LisaMarie

Char


It is just amazing to see how LisaMarie is growing up. That girl just totally rocks my world. She is a wonderful sister to all of her brothers. She holds hands, wipes noses, fasten seat belts, and seems to have an understanding beyond her years for the disabled, medically fragile and just plain all around different. LisaMarie is a mentor to her brothers. She loves her brothers and in return they love her. Now, do not get me wrong, she is also a pain in the neck at time....LOL.

Now, LisaMarie has a mentor of her own. Char has been with LisaMarie for about two years now and it is a match made in Heaven. They do so many fun things together. This last time they got to go on an overnight snowshoeing trip. They had so much fun. It was great for both of them. LisaMarie reported that Char snores...:o)

Take a look at just how deep that snow is. WOW. I am so very jealous about that. Once again we thank you Char for being a wonderful mentor to LisaMarie.

Lisa Marie looks like she had a great time. I'm glad she has CHar in her life to take her and do those special things with just her. We all know just how much she loves her brothers but it is good for her to have girl time to herself. The pics are wonderful to look at! Love to all, Aunt Tammy

PROUD DAY TO BE PARENTS :o)

I am not too sure that it gets much better than this at this stage of life. I wanted to post this yesterday, but I just ran out of time. Merrill and I received a letter informing us that LisaMarie was in the second grade math Olympics at school. Now this in and of itself is a huge accomplishment. Only the top five students from each class were chosen. So Merrill took off and I got a babysitter for MacGyver. Off we went. Now I am a little sadden to say that we did not really expect much to happen. We felt it an honor that LisaMarie had made it this far. We got there a little early, got a good seat and sat back to enjoy the competition. Oh my, let me tell you we were on the edge of our seats after about three rounds. LisaMarie was faster than we even knew she could be. She was confident, poised and all together in control, not like her parents sitting out in the crowd. Maybe it helps to be the only girl at home with so many boys, you tend to have it more together than most....LOL. Roun...

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...

JUNE 30, 1978

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...
