Our kids Joel and Marianne left us and went to Arizona taking our little grand kids with them right after our homecoming thing. How rude! All is good .

Read all about it! Tuesday, August 11, 2009. Cooper and Kennedy are getting to the age where it seems like they fight nonstop. It is not really fighting, I guess, mostly just Cooper teasing and Kennedy screaming. I never realized growing up how annoying that is as the parent. In this picture, however, you would think they are the best of friends. Actually, they really are good friends. My kids look so grown up here that it makes me sick! Here is our yard all raked a.
