SWEET SIXTEEN

Today, February 14, 2010
our beautiful daughter turned 16 years old!
We celebrated all weekend long!
Here is what part of our festivities looked like!

A group of friends went to see the movie "Valentine's Day" at the local movie theater.

And no birthday is complete without a few family photographs!

An Italian feast was served, Rebecca's favorite - Cheese Ravioli's, choice of 3 different sauces,
salad, and garlic bread.

There was serious cupcake decorating that took place after dinner.
All the cupcakes were very creative!
And everyone had a lot of fun customizing their own desserts!

After the delicious meal and dessert, it was time to open gifts!

And then some moments that were simply worth remembering!

HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN TO OUR BEAUTIFUL REBECCA!

We find it so hard to believe that you are no longer a little girl, but a lovely young woman!
We are so proud of you and we love you very much!
What a joy to have you in our lives, and what a pleasure it was to celebrate this special day with you!
Love you always,
Mom (and Dad)

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...

A Promise is a Promise (Grand Canyon)

Many years ago, I am guessing about 19 of them, our family visited the Grand Canyon for one day, on the way home from a trip to California to visit family.  Our eldest son was around 11, our middle one around 9, and our baby was a little over a year old.  Our boys wanted desperately to hike into the canyon, but our oldest one especially so.  He pleaded and my husband and I held firm our "No" as our youngest was too young and we were not outfitted for such an adventure.  I promised that we would return one day. A few months later we moved to the East Coast of Virginia.  Not planned when we stood at the edge of the canyon and that promise was made. And the many times we planned vacation time to the beach, our son reminded me of that promise to go the the Grand Canyon. Time flew quickly and years later we had not returned to the Grand Canyon.  But, we did move to Texas and as we looked at spending time as a family, our oldest son brought this promise bac...
