Green Smiley Monday
I Still feel like I am in a dream having Erica and Chris back home...I feel like a new woman!! I think my depression was lingering more so cuz of her being away for 4 years.. We went shopping to get a Refigerator last night for their appt. upstairs..
Erica drove home on my birthday on Friday, the 1st thing we did is go out for lobster rolls, oh they are so good here in NH..Today is day 3, we are having so much fun.. Now that they are married it is SO much better to see how much Erica has grown up since being away with all her friends in the Airforce.. They all were like family for 4 years to her. They were ready to move back though with us her family. All her cousins and the 2 new babies her oldest cousin Ashley just had in the past 3 yrs..All 8 cousins are 31yrs old down to Erica the baby 22yrs old..I can't believe each one is heading towards 30...Except Ryan is Forever 18 he would of been 26..Heartbreaking!!
I will keep you all posted, Love to my SOTH, XO Kelly

I am so thrilled for you, Kelly! I imagine it will be like embarking on a whole new level of a relationship, what with her being a grown married woman now..Only she will always be your baby :-). Seems I have Jason back with me again. He was living with his Dad but his father sold his house and is moving away. I like him being here though and hopefully, will save him some money. His dad didn\'t charge him rent, but he had to put his car on a ferry everyday to get to work and that was 50 bucks a week. Love you gal, and glad you are enjoying this time with Erica!
Loved reading this journal. Having family around is the best thing in the world.
Woo Hoo! So glad Erica and Chris are home safe and sound.
I must admit to a wee bit of envy as you describe your extended family! Ours is pretty tiny and getting smaller! But I do know that nothing is right without Ryan.
Enjoy the shopping and catching up.
Hugs, Marlene
The relationship with a grown up child is great...I adore being with Kate...
Sigh...it also makes me miss Jenn sooooo much....
This is wonderful Kelly...so very happy for you!
This is a special time for each of you and I know you are savoring it and I feel your JOY.
Life is full of changes so live these moments and create some amazing memories dear Kelly as those are what are so life giving.
Oh, those lobster rolls are heavenly and I\'m sure they tasted even better because they were shared with your girl. :)
Much love my sweet friend and SO very happy for YOU!
