Happy Birthday Sweetheart

Sometime last year I started a tradition of posting some photos of each of our children on their birthdays. I have not written anything other than the title wishing them a happy birthday
I have to make an exception now, because as special as each of these children is to me, they all have to take a back seat to today's birthday person.

When I look at these baby pictures I think of the old song about "You must have been a beautiful baby, cause, baby, look at you now." Jeanne has always been beautiful.


Jeanne was and is a wonderful mother to our children. The proper raising of each one of them, even into adulthood, has always been her primary concern. She knows the importance of how they are taught from birth and now even as she helps them be better parents of their own children.



As the blog title says, we're empty-nesters now and soon I'll leave the day to day grind of work so that we can spend our time together which will be the best thing of all while still on this earth.



I love you Jeanne! Have a WONDERFUL birthday, and together lets make this the best year of our lives so far.

Annabelle



Annabelle came to us at about 10 weeks old. They just didn't come any cuter.
Melissa and her had a special bond.

Obviously she was very patient with us, even when we tried to make her into a reindeer.
 
She loved the children and they loved her. She was always so patient with them, but really loved to play soccer and keep away with her tennis ball.

She was so patient when other dogs came to visit or stay.





As each of the Grandchildren came along they learned to love her like the rest of us did and they knew they could trust her as big as she was in their little eyes. Her photos with Avery and with Davis were probably the last ones taken.



She will always have a special place in our hearts.
