The Day Before Dad's 78th Birthday

Not the way you really want to be spending your birthday... and possibly not the perfect gift for that birthday... just looks like work!

Dad found out this evening that he needs to have emergency open heart surgery.  It is scheduled for 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning.  He will have a 3-way bypass.  His veins aren't large enough for them to solve his problems with angioplasty.  Hope he gets a good night sleep and feels better soon!

 Leslie and mom present him with his present from all of the family!  We thought he might not feel like opening it tomorrow after surgery.

He was excited about the prospect of feeling well enough to be able to use this little gem!  It looks like we expect him to get to work!

Love you dad.

Hugs, kisses, and prayers!

The Mansion That Michael Built... is Building... is Renovating... It's Amazing!

Monday night, for Family Night, as many family members as we could gather together met at the house that Uncle Michael is building for a BBQ!  We had such a great time!  The house, the pool house, the greenhouse, and the gardens are absolutely amazing, but somehow the company was even better.  Love my family!

Reggie's Eagle Scout Court of Honor

Sunday, October 6, 2013, I attended Reggie's Court of Honor.  I didn't get very many good pictures.  I wasn't ever close enough with my flash.  I feel really badly that I didn't get a picture of all of the people who were there to support him and his family!  There were several Mosers there. On the Schenk side, Grandma and Grandpa Schenk, Derris and Laurie, Leslie, Tom, Sheri, Beckah, Tyler, Kelsee, and Kylee, Michael, Jordan, Cameron, Aliyah, and Rachel, Nic, Steff, Brooklyn, Camryn, Kendyl, and Nixon.

Thanks for the Birthday Party!

Had a fun time tonight with this beautiful family of mine.  Sadly we're missing Ryan, Katie, Tanner, and Sean.  Not that I'm happy to be a year older by any means, but always happy to have a party with the people I love!

Kendyl, Nixon, Steff, Nic, Brooklyn, Hudson, Camryn, Ashley, Elle, Averi, and Matt

Such LOVELY harmony!  Enjoy!
