Happy Birthday Steve!

What a joy to wish Steve a happy birthday! 

Our son, whom we love very much.

Steve is so personable - a friend to everyone.

He communicates well, his smile will melt your heart,

he eats and breathes music ~ and is a natural musician.

He plays the guitar, drums and sings.  

And does them all exceptionally.

One of the amazing guys in our family ~ 

He is a part of 3 bands ~ and has a ball with them all.

It was common in his teenage years to be found in our basement playing away with his

siblings.  This mama used to love to take that all in.

I would stand at the top of the basement stairs sometimes just listening.....

my heart exploding with JOY!

He knows how to have fun!

 He was the happiest little boy ~ just bouncing around with a smile on his face.

Oh my, wasn't this just yesterday!

Dad and I wish you a wonderful birthday Steve!  

We pray the year ahead is the BEST for you.

We love you and are so happy you are our son.

Happy 12th Birthday Joshua

How can it be that our oldest grandson is 12 today!  

He is  an amazing young man.
He is quiet, yet full of words when he is interested in a subject.
He loves sports and FUN!

We SO enjoyed celebrating him last evening ~
his favorite 5 Guys!
We talked alot about sports and his life in general.
He was so talkative!
We loved our time together so much.

I gave him a book on World War II ~
and some pictures of his great grandfather (my dad)
during the war.  He loved hearing about my dad.
It meant so much to me to see that genuine interest.

He has THE BEST smile!!!!!!

He enjoys family time ~ loves his siblings {most of the time!}

He is studious and is good at school.

This seems like yesterday.......

Joshua, Papa and I love you so much.

Happy Birthday to you ~
may God bless your year ahead!
