Family Weekend

We had so much fun with our family this weekend. They left too soon. :O( We wish they could have stayed longer. But, we enjoyed the time that we had with them. We hardly saw Kennedy and Andrea the entire time. (except when they put on shows for us) They are quite an act!!! They sing, they dance, they recite poems. What multi-talented girls we have!! Those two are inseperable once together. I wish we all lived closer together. But, despite the distance, I think they are going to grow up being best friends. :O) They adore each other! As for Caleb, well, poor Caleb ended up getting super sick on Friday. He spent half the day throwing up, and the other half of the day laying on the couch trying to get comfortable. Poor kid. He was better on Saturday though. Guess he just had a 24 hr bug. It was a nasty one. Of course it had to hit him when we had people here and things to do. I felt bad for him. Most other weekends we just hang around the house anyway. But, this weekend everyone went out shopping and lunching, and Caleb couldn't go. He really wanted to, but he was too sick. :O( I'm glad he is feeling better now. Here are some pictures of the family.

Ok. So, Steve has been growing a beautiful moustache for Movember. This is for a charity event to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer. You can read about it here. http://www.movember.com/

Some of the guys in Steve's office have been doing this. He has until next Saturday to harvest this magnificent facial hair. :O) Isn't he gorgeous??? (in a 1980's motorcycle cop kind of way) ;O) If you would like to sponsor him, this is how you do it.

Did you know:

Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in the US with one in six American men developing the disease and more than 28,000 men dying of the disease every year.

African American men and those with a family history of prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease and should have regular annual testing starting at 45. All other men should commence testing at 50.

Prostate cancer is 90% curable if detected and treated early.

Here's to your health!!

I'm glad you had a nice Thanksgiving. How nice that so much family was able to come. How is it that Steve's parents just keep getting better looking? That little Benny is a doll!! I love, love his hair! Thanks for taking such good care of Caleb when he was sick. He kept saying how sweet you were and how you stayed home to take care of him when everyone else went out. You also wiped up his poo and throw up! That's love!
I didn't know Steve was doing his mustache for charity. That is so great!
