William's 30th Birthday!!!
It is hard to believe that our second child turned 30 today.  We had a great day. The kids all came over to celebrate with Will. Things were a little different this year as Craig had shoulder surgery that was much more extensive than expected last Monday and is still having a hard time getting around. I hurt my back a couple of weeks ago and have had complications with that injury and have had a difficult time as well. Today, for the first time in a couple of weeks...I actually had a few hours that I wasn't in pain. Craig is usually the one to barbeque but today that was done by William and Christopher.   We had a lot of help in the kitchen helping to make this celebration a reality. Michael and I had decorated before the kids got there and Michael wrapped the presents and helped me hang decorations. I had set the table and made the cake and the baked beans and corn....the rest was put together by the men in our family. It was so great to be around family after not really being around them for a couple of weeks.  I sure missed everyone.Thanks guys for helping make sure that we could have a great celebration.  Happy 30th Birthday, Will!!!! Also, thanks Valerie for sweeping and mopping my floors.  I don't remember the last time when I just couldn't do this for myself.   Also, thanks to great friends for watching over us and for sending in a couple of meals to help us make it over the hump...we are so grateful!!!
