Happy Veteran's Day

Too all those serving, we thank you. Too all those who have served, we thank you. God bless you and your families.

A Veterans' Day Poem
By Holly Rulli

Veterans' Day will come and go

Quicker than the blink of an eye

But memories of heroes present and past

Will never, ever die.

The youth of today, do you understand?

The price brave men did pay

To preserve the freedom we enjoy

Each and every day.

They were called to duty, and so they went

Not knowing what was to be

Many came home, some never did

They sacrificed so we could be free.

How lonely some must have felt

How scared some had to be

They paid the bill with their own blood

What a great cost to be free.

The heroes of our country

Are the ones who paved the way

For freedom and the many rights

That we enjoy today.

Next time, young folks, you pass someone

Who may be old and gray

Remember — thanks to him or her

You have your freedom today.

They may dress funny, not see as well

Walk a little slow

But they were young when duty called

And off to war did go

Brave men today are still at war

How scared some must be

How lonely some must feel inside

Paying the price to be free

You may dress funny, not hear as well

You drive your cars too fast

But remembers all those great brave men

Of present and of past.

So when you’re called to duty

Not knowing what is to come

Remember all those men before you

Who fought for our freedom.

Support our President, support our troops

Support our country, too

As they go fighting for what is right

For freedom the price is due.

Nice Shiner Kiddo

TJ smucked his face on his big brother's bunkbed. The first night was a nice bruise, followed swelling and an even bigger bruise. It's not too bad. Makes him look tough. ;)

Why Do They Have to Grow Up So Fast

Where does the time go? It's not fair. I did what everyone told me too, I cherished every moment of every day! I think it actually went by faster. It's not fair.
My baby has shed the last of his babiness. He has given up diapers! He is potty-trained. I honestly kept him in diapers as long as I could. I fought his wanting to potty train until the bitter end.
TJ has decided to use the bathroom like his big brothers (they are terrible role models). I should have put the big kids back in diapers! Kidding. Maybe.

So, in all fairness to my angel baby, good job baby-mine. Mommy is so proud of you, of how big you are!
