Happy 80th Birthday Babs! aka: The Merry, Merry Month of May.....

We just had a nice 2 week visit with my in-laws, Barbara and Paul Stitzer. They live in Florida, but we are lucky enough to see them a few times a year. Usually we don't get to see them for Mother's Day they are usually in Chicago with my sis-in-law Liz and family. Barbara shares a birthday with Oren, my youngest nephew in Chicago. This year Andy requested his parents come here so we could share her birthday, which happened to fall on Mother's Day. It's great they are able to come and get a good visit in with the grand kids. They get to see the kids in their normal routines, meet friends, see swim lessons, etc. We are so glad the kids really know their grandparents, even though they don't live close. Here are some pictures of their stay.





Mother's Day: We had a birthday celebration for Barbara's 80th, and appreciated all the Mom's.
