Taking time to.................


Just taking time to post pictures from the past several months, and to reflect on those wonderful moments in time. With such a large family, it seems we have a lot going on, especially over the holidays. I have included pictures when everyone was home over Christmas, Melanie's graduation for her MBA, Lily's dance presentation, the big birthday bash, and stuff in between....

Dylan thrilled with the cake..........


Dylan left to Arizona for training last Monday morning, working for an airline company. We are all so excited for him, and for all the opportunities for travel and experience that this opens up for him. Well, and the opportunities it opens up for us too (part of his benefits are that parents fly free!!) The pictures are from a family gathering the day before I drove Dylan to the Detroit airport to start off on this new journey. Cassidy and Lily made and designed the cake. We had a great time with great food, fun, and music. Dylan is doing great in the training program and sounds so happy and excited to be there. Well yeah, it is Arizona:) Go Dylan!!
