Well, this is it!

This had to be one of the most memorable years of my life!
Of course, I am getting older, so I may not remember some of the other years as well.
Our daughter Jennifer obtained here RN.

We were able to visit our son, Matthew and his family, in Seattle.

Molly and I went to Hawaii. Our son, Scott, and his wife Oksana were able to join us.
We had a great time and it was certainly nice to spend time with them as they now live more than 2,000 miles from us.

While we were in Hawaii, we went to Roy's for my birthday.

Scott gave me a card relating to a childhood memory.


And on the inside…

I just assumed this was just one of those moments that only I remembered.
He was quite young when this took place. He was 33 when he gave me the card.

Then, on Valentines Day, February 14, 2012, a more amazing thing happened:
Micah Aaron Willeke, 7 lbs 10 oz

I just cannot see how things can top this…..
… but i am waiting.
