The Turner Family

Ok, I know it was last week, but here it is.

On Fathers Day Kevin got breakfast (fresh blueberry pancakes, bacon, hashbrowns, strawberries, oj and milk) in bed with the Sunday paper. The day before we decided that we were going to go on a picnic with the other Turners, Dick and Joyce and Brian, Eryn and Liam. So after breakfast, we packed up the car, stopped for some fried chicken and potato wedges, and headed for Veterans Park. It was a beautiful day and it was fun watching the boys enjoy themselves. It was so nice we went from there to the community pool in Tuscany near Dick and Joyce’s house. It was so fun taking the little boys into the water! We have little inflatable chairs that will also keep them shaded, so they are completely pampered! What a life! All in all I think a good day was had by all and many fun memories were made and traditions started!

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers in my life! (and Happy Birthday Joyce!) We love you all.

Saturday April 12th, Kevin’s Grandma Longenecker passed away. She had Alzheimer’s and on the Sunday before her death, she suffered a stroke. It limited her to her bed and also her eating and drinking abilities. We believe that due to her faith in Jesus, her personal Lord and Savior, she is now dancing on the streets of Heaven with her husband and praising God! We miss you Grandma and will see you and Grandpa soon!

Red was Grandmas favorite color. Check out Braden’s tie. He matches his daddy!

This past week my grandparents came into town to meet their new great-grandson. It is always so great to see them and it was even more special this time. They were so great with Braden and showed him so much love. Thanks for visiting Grandpa and Grandma! Love you!

Kevin and I got a new camera last week. It’s a Canon EOS Rebel XTi digital SLR. I’m sure he can tell you all the details about it more than I can but it means he has a new toy to play with! Since I’m the only other human in the house, he takes my picture all day! Most get deleted, but I thought I’d post a few of the more fun ones.

Morgan and I are now proud to be called a new name, no, not mom and dad yet, but Aunt and Uncle.  My brother and his wife are now proud parents to a beautiful baby boy.  Liam Richard Turner was born on January 8th at 1:51AM.  He was 8lbs 1oz and 21.5 inches long.  Morgan, myself and my parents were privileged to be in the hospital during his birth and were able to see him about half an hour later.

Thanks Brian and Eryn for such a beautiful boy.
