In Memorium

Nick Jack Krpan
and
Joseph Salvatore "Buddy" Robino

Two of my Great Uncles passed away in the last two weeks. One was my dad's uncle and one was my mom's uncle. They will both be missed a lot. Both my uncles were in their 90s and lived great lives.

Robert, Emerson, Jack and I were able to go to Uncle Nick's funeral as it was in Walsenburg. Though it was a sad reason for a reunion we were glad to visit with cousins who live far away who we haven't seen in years.

We were not able to make the trip to New Mexico for Uncle Buddy's service but our prayers are with them. Thankfully all 10 of my mom's siblings and cousins were able to be there to support each other and remember good times.

Both men were hard workers who served their country and cared for their families proudly and well. I know we have all learned something from their examples. I know they can help us all even more from Heaven.

Love,
Dena

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
