| Here we are Easter Sunday 2000. Hey John, don't you ever change your tie? hee hee |
| John and I found one another in May of 1978. We were both divorced with three children. His wife had abandoned him and their three babies, and he had been valiantly raising them alone. When we met, the twins, April and Shelly were 2 and Steven was 3. Just perfect for my brood consisting of Jim 14, Judy 12 and Jennifer 9. We had an instant "Brady" situation. My three older children enjoyed having little ones to be big brother and sisters too. It sure made my job easier to have their help. I am grateful that John came into my life and that I had the privilege of raising my three step-children. All 6 my children have brought me great joy!!! We had a neat family life...not a perfect one, but a neat one! :-) But I have to admit that it is fun being alone with John now...we never had that and are enjoying one another's company. |

| Jim, Jennifer and Judy took me out for a Mommy's Day lunch 2000. We laughed for two hours. I had to settle them down, just to get this picuture. They really enjoy each other's company. We had such a wonderful time! I feel a great love from my children...I think I'll keep 'em :-) |
