    All of these kids are SOOO cute!!! Unfortunately, at 21 and 23 mine aren't nearly as cute anymore. Worse yet, though the are "adults," they are awfully expensive!!!

    Daughter had a slight "problem" driving in snow the other day. No accident, but ended up with two flat tires, tow charges, and impound fees.

    Enjoy them while they are young!!!

    Oh ladies, such adorable pictures of the children They look like little s, but I know the real story Just joking...I remember those days!

    I love seeing everyone's family. It makes it easier to stay close to you, especially since we share such strong bonds with other parts of our lives.

    It will be such a treat if we are able to include some of them in our get together next spring (hint-hint!)
    Severe compression of spinal cord, flaval ligament, etc. at C4/5 & 5/6.
    Herniation and compression, at L3/4 to L5/S1 plus spondylosis at the latter level. Severe allergy to most metals.
    Three level surgery in Brazil with Dr. Luiz Pimenta on March 17/2010 using non-metal appliances. L5/S1-PEEK cage, ALIF; L4/5-PEEK cage, XLIF; C5/6-NuVasive NeoDisc. Three separate approaches, two minimally invasive. Currently minor residual back pain, from SI ligament and still overdoing things . Therapy and chiropractic treatments helping immensely. Gone from being almost bedridden to near normal activities including gardening. Life is gooooood!
