Daddy's Birthday

February 12, 2015

On his birthday two years ago, my hero had his first 

chemotherapy treatment at the Cancer Center in Chicago 

and I missed him so much. Words can't describe 

how much I missed him this year on his special day. 

I tried to make it special for our family...

I made his famous venison (I substituted beef) roast,

 a cherry crumb pie, complete with a candle and a birthday song, 

and a game of pin the antlers on the deer. 

Daddy's birthday party was a success 

(even if I didn't make it through the birthday song). 

This man deserves to be celebrated!

Happy Birthday Kris

We celebrated early before Marm went on her vacation, 

but then Deb, Celena and the kids and I surprised her 

the following week on her actual birthday!

My sweet baby sister is 29!

Yesterday we went sledding on the hill in our development. 

It was fun! Cold, but fun! :)

When you help mom shovel 

(aka-play in the snow while mom shovels) 

you get hot chocolate and graham crackers. 

Sweet Sawyer

January 29, 2015

Kind-hearted is right. Since my Daddy's passing I have good moments and hard moments. Yesterday was one of those days that seemed to be filled with hard moments. While his little brothers napped yesterday Sawyer came to my room and found me crying. He said, "I know why you're sad mom. It's because your Dad died. " Then he proceeded to give me a hug and kiss. 

That night his bedtime prayer consisted of this, "Dear Heavenly Father, I thank thee for my warm home. I pray that I can always remember Grandpa Wertz and pray that Mom can have a happy day tomorrow. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." 

Let's just say I'm not really worried about his emotional development. 

Momma gives him an A+.
