Grandma Lorraine's New Driveway

When Grandma and Aunt Lynette came home from Texas they found a surprise for them in their new driveway!! Glad they weren't mad!! I wanted to take Lynette's dog, Izzie, to put in her paw prints but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep her off of it!! I don't think mom would have been happy with Izzie prints completely across the new cement!

Spring Soccer 2008

Michael played for "Kramer's Kitchen" again this Spring. Tony was one of the coaches. Though Michael wanted to retire from soccer after last Fall, we convinced him to play again. Time will only tell if he plays this coming fall.

Michael loves to visit Wallace's Nursery every Christmas. This year he went with Grandma Lorraine and Aunt Lynette.

Wallace's has many photo opportunities and each year Aunt Nett takes tons of pictures!
