More Photos by Daniel





Daniel loves the camera and so frequently just takes it and goes to town. We figure we might as well be supportive of his postive outlets and let him develope the talents as they interest him. Besides some of his pictures are better than ours :)

Fathers

Fathers are so special........
My daddy is my hero
He always knows just what to do and say
Thanks for all the memories
and being you no matter what!

Dave is a wonderful dad and husband!
I spent a quiet morning looking back at our short life together! Some of my favorite things I want to mention...
1- Not afraid to get his hands dirty to get the job done
2- Compassionate & loving no matter the undaunting medical task @hand
3- Knowledgeable with random facts that come in handy at the most odd times
4- Awesome Chef
5- Great father/ teacher to Daniel

I know the list is short, but I can't let all my secrets out of the bag. I love him and know that he completes me in every way. Where I fall short, he stands firm....I love him, I love him, I love him - and never regret the day we married for time & all eternity!

Happy 22nd Birthday Jereelyn


For Jereelyn's 22nd birthday my mom & dad had a surprise swim party/BBQ at their house. Here are just a few pics to remember the fun that we had...notice the new slide my parents put in by their pool. Everyone says it is a big hit, I will have to give my opinion after the baby is here!

Justice or Not

I just wanted to share my thoughts now that the insurance company has made their preliminary decision on the accident over the weekend - and found me at fault!

Is this really how our justice system works???
1- Apparently it is okay to leave the scene of an accident and then return before the ticketing officer(s) arrive. So if you want to change drivers or if someone has something to hide from the law, leave and come back it is perfectly okay....about 90% of accidents happen this way (statistic from the insurance adjuster)

2- If the officers don't feel like measuring skid marks for speed, then it doesn't really matter wether you are speeding because you won't be ticketed. Speed has to be determined by a radar gun or measurement of skid marks - otherwise it is all just the opinion of those around.

3- It is my understanding that only people who make turns have to yield and be aware of all the other cars on the road. Whether you are coming over a blind hill, speeding, or changing lanes you apparently have right of way and don't have to yeild to other cars on the road and be a defensive driver.

4- Policemen are policemen are policemen...don't be mislead that there is a division and certain officers cannot handle the accident. If an officer tells you to move your vehicle make sure that they are the ticketing officer or take pictures of the scene before you move your car, otherwise you have now changed evidence and facts cannot always be determined without seeing the outcome or a picture of the outcome.

All in all there is not much I can do about the situation unless something happens to the baby, at which point my attorney can file a claim. Otherwise the law is the law no matter how unjust it seems to be!

The Cherry on Top

This is the result of yesterday's car accident.
When it rains it pours and I am really hoping that this is the last "trial" for a little while. For those who don't know here is the scoop.
We went for a drive to check out some properties that Dave will be maintaining for work. While we were out we were in a lovely car accident that started as a hit & run. I will say that other than starting contractions 7 minutes apart we all walked away without a scratch and the above is the total damage to the car. The other vehicle didn't fair so well....leaking fluid and the bumper is being held on by just a thread. Anyways, they hit us yet Judee was cited. Don't ask, we don't understand we just know that we will be fighting it in court!
After a long restless night Judee and the baby are fine so we think and she will follow up with her doctor this week.
