James turned 22 today and had a busy day as he likes to schedule annual appointments on this day such as his annual physical.

Things got better as he had a birthday dinner at Texas Roadhouse with Austin and his Dad (along with Mom and Dad of course) and then came home for cake and ice cream.

If you look closely at the pictures you can see a little of the Halloween decorations going up as we have begun getting ready for the annual Halloween party.

Great day for James and he did pretty well with his physical as well.

Happy Birthday Mom

A real fun birthday celebration for Mom with a great catfish dinner (one of Moms favorites) from Captain Jays. The flowers you see in the pictures were the first time Dad bought colored flowers for Mom as Mom’s birthday is the next day after our anniversary. They make the Roses these beautiful colors by placing them in water with dye and as the flowers take in the water, it causes the flowers to change color.

Great cake, great gifts, and a fun time for Mom.

The entire family celebrated out 23rd Wedding Anniversary. This year we went to a Polish restaurant in Allen Park and brought James along to enjoy the meal.

Thinking back to our wedding 23 years ago we are reminded that the dreadful events of 9/11 delayed our wedding for a year and even when we did finally get married, the air travel made flying in or out very difficult for people to feel comfortable so we had a very simple ceremony at city hall, not wanting to put our friends and relatives in an awkward position.

Congrats Mom and Dad and hopefully we have 23 more wonderful years together.
