Flaming June's Love

I had a nice day. The girls got apicture of all three of them together and that is good. I so love these kids and if I have a day to spend with anyone it would be these people in my life. I am attaching a few of Jack and his room with the trains and a bath pic but the posed ones are from my thoughtful Mothers day gift. I also got a gift certificate to the local nursery for a tree for our yard from ANdy. That was really a thought out gift and I am so excted to find the perfect "baby" for our yard.

Some pics from Florida. After chatting with my big brother tonight he let me know how much he enjoys the blog and especially the pictures. I have no problem posting more since truly I have hundreds. Missi doesnt know how beautiful she is and The kids together dont realize that they are our hope and pride and future rolled into seven totally different people. Allie the oldest is the heir apparent in the kid kingdom. She has leadership skills if only leading the gang tot he game room or for a walk somewhere. Danny the oldest grandson is a strong silent and courageous young man. My brother Dan has led him in a direction to be all that he could be and be honorable. When my brother should be reveling in his sons bravery and manhood, he is sadly living out his second childhood I am afraid. Danny Jr is the man of the house and is taking care of his mom and Ben.
