Thankenstein Thursday! 13 Edition

I would like to dedicate this post to my fabulous nephew, Alec, who turns 13 today!!

Happy Birthday, Alec!

This is Alec as a wee one with his best friend Bocco the Bear....Alec was a preemie....We are very happy that he made it through all of his challenges and is such an active, healthy guy 13 years later!



We knew as he grew, he was definitely a rock star!

He is fearless!
Someday, you will see him in the major leagues....No Joke! He is a super talented baseball player! He hits a homerun or two (or three, four...) every game and can pitch like a pro!

We miss you, Alec! We wish we could be with you on your very special day!

Happy 13!!!!

With All of Our Love,

Aunt Minnie, Connor, Cat and Uncle Smitty

Since we are celebrating today at the Bee and Rose, I would like to say a very BIG Thank You to the very sweet jbechtold over at Stay at home Mom! She shared this wonderful award with me! I am supposed to share it with 15 new blogs, but I am spreading the award love to all of you today! Hooray! Go check out her blog! There are some great ideas over there!



Things are definitely looking up around here! Have a delightful day, ya'll!

xoxo

Tuesday's Tribute...Heartbeat..It's a Lovebeat

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. I am paying my Tuesday's Tribute to Chilly. Today we celebrate our first Heartaversary. What is a Heartaversary, you ask? Well, settle in with a cuppa and let me weave a tale of wonder... One year ago today I was pacing the waiting room floor of University Medical Center in Tucson waiting for my husband’s surgeon to inform me if Chilly had survived his triple bypass. I’ll spare you the sordid details of how all this came about. I’ll just say that it was very fast and unexpected. The prospect of losing my spouse in my early 40’s wasn’t in my plan obviously. My plan was more of a “hanging with the kiddos, going to the Renaissance Faire, beating my son at Guitar Hero, driving my husband crazy for decades” kind of plan. But God always has a bigger plan for us. In this case, he was trying to keep Chilly on the planet for a while longer. As I have written before, Chilly has had two very challenging years. He has been a diabetic for a couple of decade
