Oh my goodness....I rarely come here anymore and today thought I'd see who was still around. I don't recognize a lot of the names anymore. Steph and I both can be found on Facebook. She stays busy with the kids. Grant will be 5 in July and starts Kinder in the fall. Camryn was 2 in January. They are such fun. I only live a mile away so see them everyday. Things for me have been really sad. My sister Jan is in the hospital on a ventilator right now. She has COPD and has had such a rough time since January. It is very very sad that her life is so hard right now. Some of you may remember my talking about her in the past. She had struggled with alcohol for many years. Little over 2 years ago she stopped drinking and worked very hard to put her life back together. She has her own apt now and was doing really really well. And now her health is so bad that she will be living in a nursing home if she survives this. It is just heartbreaking that she won't be able to have the good life she has worked so hard to achieve. Thanks for asking about us!! Here are a couple of recent pictures of the kids.

Ahh, thank you for asking. He goes home tomorrow and I'm sad. He's a great dog. I've really enjoyed having him here. But... My mind has been playing some tricks on me. He looks and acts so much like my Dakota, it's been really freaking me out. It's so hard to explain but it's like I'm taken back in time to when she was alive and I feel like I'm reliving those times, like she never left. I get happy then I get a huge amount of grief. So while I've really enjoyed his company and having a dog around, it's also made me really sad. He's just too much like her. Grant has loved having him around. Camryn really doesn't care much. He's been great with the kids. Here's a picture of Grant on the couch playing with my phone, with his buddy beside him.

Just got a message on Facebook that I should go to KT cause someone was asking about Steph and the kids. Sooooo......Hi everyone! Steph and the kids are all wonderful. Needless to say she is VERY busy with them and school activities etc. They are both anxious for Christmas. Grant has their house and yard decorated with hundreds of lights!! I am so fortunate that I live close and get to see them everyday. They are just so fun and growing way to fast. Grant is 6 1/2 and Camryn will be 4 next month. Here are a couple of recent pictures. Merry Christmas everyone!!

Hi! Thanks for thinking of us. We all had a really nice Christmas. Grant wasn't as into the presents as I thought he'd be. He had so much going on, he'd get fixated on one thing and then not be interested in anything else. I guess pretty normal for his age. He had a busy couple days and I think has finally caught up on his sleep. Here's a few pics: Waiting for the excitement to start, lol: A cute little onesie given to Camryn:
