Well...due to my back surgery and ongoing pain, I have joined the ranks of the retired. But it is not all bad! I get to go to bed when I want and wake up when my body says to. My surgeon wants me to rest and heal.
I am still able to enjoy my children and grandchildren. I go to ball games or just spend time with them. London is too little for organized sports now, so I sew for her instead. My love of sewing has led to a little sideline for me...check out my etsy shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/bipsbabes. I won't get rich, but I really enjoy creating outfits. My sales pay for my new creations for London!
Wyatt was going strong as a left handed pitcher. Unfortunately, he hurt his arm in his last game, so Jona and his coach are not going to let him pitch anymore until they know he is ok. Needless to say, Wyatt is not happy about that.
Trey has developed a love for soccer. He now is playing offense and he loves running up and down the field. He makes some really good blocks and saves. It seems he has found his favorite sport!
Dylan is quite the t ball player. He loves hitting the ball and running the bases. He seems to have a natural aptitude for the sport. He also has an active imagination...he loves to play different characters. I make costumes for him...the last was Avatar.
So my life is full and happy. I am blessed. I try to go every weekday to the senior citizen center to swim...well, walk up and down the pool...to help out my back. I plan to start volunteering soon.

A Family Picture At Last!
For about five years now I have been trying to get my kids and grandkids together for a family picture. Well, Carla, Donna and I finally suceeded in dragging Jona all the way kicking and protesting and threatening to leave if the photographer didn't get to us in the next few minutes. I think my son may be a bit camera shy. He is a great photographer, but doesn't like to be in front of the camera. When we finally got into the studio, a really sweet (and flirtaceous) lady got him to cooperate. As you can see from the photos, he (and the rest of my loves) looks great!
