A New Sunday Brunch Tradition

 

Today begins a new family tradition, a once a month Sunday Brunch in southern Ohio. 

It's with David's girls, their families and in-laws. It's a lovely idea and when we received the invitation, I didn't notice who created this new tradition and included us, it was Kelly, David's ex-wife. 

I love her! We have a wonderful friendship and she is someone I can definitely be good girlfriends with. 

How blessed are their girls that David & Kelly can come to all celebrations and share life with them in hugs, laughter, and friendship. I adore Tom, Kelly's significant other, and I absolutely adore her mom & dad, who have all become family to me.

In-laws included, it makes for fun gatherings and I look forward to our time spent with them. 

Divorce happens. Healing also happens. 

Fresh Air

 

Sunshine, windows open, Jimmy Buffett tunes, warmth and fresh air. Back up to 4:45 a.m. when David was heading out the door for bomb training and slips into our bedroom to give me kisses and a sweet, "I love you." I'm so in love and proud of him. 

What a beautiful start to the day! 

Nobody appreciates sunshine and warmth like those coming out of winter. To walk outside without a coat or jacket and the air doesn't feel biting brisk.

We grilled burgers and zucchini last night, it's refreshing simply making dinner on the patio. Daylight savings time, spring flowers pushing through the dirt, making their grand entrance into spring, and a couple vacations right around the corner.

Both our granddaughters, Claire and Emmy, with their 1st birthdays approaching only weeks apart. Us, grandparents, wildly in love with all our babies. 

Happy 53rd Anniversary to my mom & dad (yesterday), we love you!
