My son's visit went waaaaay too fast!

Well they're back in New York & we're missing them like crazy again! Our visit was waaaaay too short. But it was so great to see them and love on them. We had such a great time!

This is a picture of my visiting son (on the left) with my daughter & my youngest son. I call them a "Reverse Oreo". LOL My sons are the vanilla cookies & my daughter is the yummy fudge filling. LOL Aren't they all good-looking! I'm so proud of each one of them!

Thanks for sharing in my joy!!!

Huggies until next time ((((()))))

Photo op

We had a wonderful post-holiday celebration with my son & his wife yesterday.....complete with a yummy turkey dinner with all of the fixin's! Here's a pic of me with the happy couple. My son is soooooo thin! The life of a first year resident doctor really takes it's toll on your body. My poor baby boy! He ate & ate & ate til he couldn't eat any more. (his wife had just put on these comfy Valentine pants that my daughter had just given her.....LOL)

My son's home!!!

WooHoo! I'm so excited! My son & his wife moved from southern California (where we all live) to New York last June & they just came last night for a 10 day visit! I am so excited (oh.....did I say that I was excited!) LOL

He's a first year resident ER doctor at a New York hospital so needless to say....he's one busy boy! I'm so proud of him! (you can see him & his cute little wife in the photo challenge when you click on "older posts")

Toodles for now! I'm hoping to post some pics here & there so stay tuned!
