My daughter Amber is a very loving and giving friend! She is always doing special favors for family and friends. We spend many hours together playing with Ethan, eating out at Mi Rancho, and just hanging out. Amber, is also a loving compassionate Mom and Ethan is a beautiful reflection of her love.

Our family gathered on Christmas Day 2009, at our home. (Dustin, Amber, Randy, Ethan, Jim and Kay) Ethan opened his gifts first, then we had a great meal, and then we all opened more gifts! The big hit was a Wii game that Dustin picked out for Amber and Randy!

Our Grandson Ethan will be 4 years old in February 2010, and he is the apple of our eye! He keeps us excited, seeing things through his young eyes. Amber and Randy are expecting another baby boy in March, and he will be named Brody. We have a wonderful son-in-law, Randy, who works for an IT company. Amber and Randy live nearby, so we are fortunate to see them often. We also have a wonderful son, Dustin, who lives about 3 hrs away, but comes home often enough to keep his Mama happy! Dustin is busy working in the IT field, and recently moved into his own home. We are so proud of our children, and thankful they are happy and doing well. The Lord has blessed us with a loving family, health, happiness, and many wonderful memories. What more could we ask for?
