WE LOVE YOU

AND HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

I love you Whitney!

I don't know how many of you have seen the Statesboro Magazine's most recent publication, but if you haven't please pick one up. I was fortunate enough to be the subject of Whit's article. Never in my life have I read anything that brought me to tears the way this did. I can't explain it, but that was my reaction, after reading only the first paragraph and a half. I had to put it down and finish reading it later. And if you were one of the lucky family members that got a phone call from me late Tues. night after I finally was able to finish reading - then you know this is the truth.

Whitney if you have ever questioned your ability to write in such a way that the reader "feels" what you are trying to convey - then please don't doubt yourself ever again. I have had several phone calls already complimenting your article. I was just lucky enough to be the subject. You took the information and made it what it is. I honestly don't know if I can truly express how thankful I am to you for finding my daily routine important enough to write about.

Well, I better scoot. Thank you again Whitney!

peace and love to all

After way too many attempts to load more than one picture at a time I decided to make a new post.
Here is Mikay ready for her dance recital Saturday night.

HELLOOOOOO BLOGGERVILLE!

Well, Dub is on his way back to the 'boro now and should arrive within the next hour. We are ready for him to get back. As Aunt Di says "everyone will be back in there place".
The Sands have been busy while Dub has been in Africa. Daniel and Mikay have had baseball and softball, Mikay had her first dance recital, Daniel participated in the youth triathlon at splash and Mikay donated her beautiful curls to locks of love. I am very proud of her. She has been wanting to do it for a few months, but I couldn't imagine cutting her curls. Well, we did and it looks great and for such a worthy cause.
I hope the pictures are clear and don't cause neck trouble for anyone (Jay).
Everyone have a great week and SCHOOL IS ALMOST OUT!!!!!!!!!!! WAHOOOOOOOOO!!!
Love, Peace and french fry grease,

WE LOVE YOU

AND

HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Yo Mama!

I am glad everyone was able to come over today and celebrate mother's day together. As usual a fun time was had by all, especially the youngest in the group. After everyone left I starting thinking about past get togethers and how times are changing so fast. I guess most of all US! I don't notice so much that I have changed as much as I do the kids. Having this one or that one growing older at a time is one thing. But before we know it 5 little girls will be grown. All about the same time. Way to go Jay!!! Not to mean that change is bad, just sobering at times.

Wow. That was pretty deep. Enough of that - I guess with Dub gone I have too much time to think!

Well, I hope everyone has a great week. School is almost out!!!!!!!!! WAHOO!!!!!!!!!

Next time we will make time for cards emily.

Peace out and hope always
