Happy 22nd Birthday Tyler!

April 30, 1991 at 7:22 pm our first son was born.  He was 8 lbs. 3 oz. and 20 1/4 inches long.  He was perfect!  Tyler Sean Rhone.  We were so happy and proud!  12 hours of labor, high blood pressure, and a faint heart beat sent us into an emergency c-section.  Daddy carried him to the nursery from the OR. 

When they brought him to me later, I cried, like I'd never cried before.  I was crying tears of joy and tears of fear all at the same time.  He was perfect and I so wanted to be a perfect Mom, a Mom he deserved.   Was I a perfect Mom?  No, of course not, no one is.  But, I hope he knows I tried to be, and tried to be all he ever needed when he needed it, plus some! 

Tyler has brought so much joy to our family over the years and I am truly blessed and a better person because he's my son! 

 

Happy 22nd, Tyler!  I hope this year brings lots of happiness, health and love!

 

(P.S....I love you the Mostest!!)

A Furever Home

Meet Marlee!

 

Welcome to our hearts and home. 

Your furever home!

 

 

On Monday, April 1, 2013 we welcomed the newest member of our family!  Marlee is a two year old female white lab.  She needed a new home and we needed a new love.  The decision to bring her home wasn't a hasty one, I gave it much thought.  I cried a lot, I miss Mocha so much that part of me felt guilty for wanting another baby, then the other part of me knew Mocha would want us to share our love with another pet.  So, four months after Mocha's death, we welcomed her into our family.

 

 

 

She is so sweet, gentle, well mannered,

and everything else I hoped for. 

She has filled the emptiness in my heart and home

and I am so thankful to have her in our lives!
