May 2008

Ah, May 2008 seems so long ago! And it is!! A lot has gone on since May...it's been a very busy time. So, I'm just going to touch on the high points to get myself up to date and up to speed to current day :) The highlight of May for us, was a much anticipated visit from our little James. Uh yes....Jerry, Bernice and Marie too :)..... But James.....such a little cutie and a trooper too. Jerry, Bernice and James flew out from Chicagoland to be here for the annual Van Laar Wiener Roast. We also began to celebrate Mom's 90th birthday then. I say began....because the celebration lasted for nearly a month! We had a wonderful time together....and this was a momentous occasion for Les as this was the first time he had opportunity to lay eyes on his little namesake. We just spent the entire time relaxing, visiting, and preparing desserts for the wiener roast. Bernice and Marie made us a fantastic dinner on Sunday......beer brined bbq'd porkchops, stuffed baked potatoes, asparagus done on the grill and topped off by a spectacular and VERY yummy raspberry cheesecake made by none other than Ri!

Congratulations on your Mom's 90th Birthday!

It is neat to see James again with his big smile; he is very cute.

So you didn't forget about your poor little blog after all. It waited patiently for you and you finally gave it some pictures to display! I think it seems quite happy now.
