March 31

For 23 years I have hated the 31 of March. This was the day I lost the love of my life & Keri lost her Daddy. But now, the good Lord has changed all that by giving us our Lily on March 30. I know that all the folks up in Heaven are so proud of her. I have been so blessed all these years. Just wanted you guys to know that. Love you all!!

Lily Liane Derry

Born at 6:05pm
weighing 7lbs 5oz and is absolutely the most gorgeous creature I've ever laid eyes on.

Eden is exhausted and resting well. I will post more info later.

NEWS FROM NORTH DAKOTA

Eden is in labor! She had to be induced due to preeclampsia. I just left the hospital to let Matt and Eden sleep a bit, but everything is going well. Will update when more news is available.

Happy Birthday, Lauren

I hope your birthday is lots of fun.  Be sure you get in some cake and ice cream.
Love you,
Candy

Day at the Zoo

Steve and I traveled to OKC to take Owen and Isla (and their parents) to the zoo.  We had a really good time.  The kids were enchanting, the animals were interesting and the weather was great.  Here are some pics to prove it.
Love you all,
Candy

 Owen shows us how to swing on the jungle gym with help from Matt

 Rachel and Isla on the tree slide

 Owen and Mimi on the carousel

Isla shows us how much she loves her new monkey.  Owen compares his with Baby Jack.

I'd show you pictures of Steve, but he took them all.  You'll have to believe me when I tell you he was there.

Birthday Camera Pictures!

Since I can't put up any precious baby pictures of Sherami to celebrate her day, I thought I would post pictures from her new birthday camera we got her the other day. How fun to take photos and then have the instant gratification of putting the memory card in the slot and bingo there's pics on the computer - wow! Barkley and Steve are willing subjects because they are such clowns - these are Sherami's fur kids! Barkley is the doggie she rescued running in the rain in the middle of the night a year or so ago and Steve is the cat that Barkley found wandering around wanting a forever home. They are quite a fun pair! Sherami's skills with the camera are much, much better than my knowledge of this computer and these are the only two pictures that I could figure out how to upload - lol! Yes, when I go back to my Apple school I will try to study hard for the photos classes! I've said it before and I'll say it again - Happy Birthday, Sherami!! I love you!!

Happy Birthday, Sherami

Have a fabulous day, sweetie.  Eat lots of the usual birthday fare and have a good time doing whatever you want to.
Love you bunches,
Candy
