March 18, 2009 Josie's 70th birthday

Mama Josie, Eloisa (in front), Elizabeth, Frances and Martin at Mama's birthday party. These are Martin's sisters, aren't they beautiful? I sure missed seeing them!!
Mama with her cake and presents for her birthday.... She had a lot of fun with family and friends there!

The gang - Frances, Aiden, Liz, Isabella, Mama, Martin, Eloisa, Jayce, Zach and Katie - they all brought her supper for her birthday on the 18th. She had to work. What Mama didn't know is that Martin flew in just for her birthday - and he surprised her! :) She had no idea he was coming and her face says it all the next picture!


Mama cried when she saw Martin peek through his family....She screamed "Martin", took off her glasses and hugged him.....I wish I could've been there to see it, but knowing me, I would've cried right along with her! It was a moment to be treasured forever! And Martin was so glad he went! (ok, so I actually have tears while I write this - I miss them......they are family! I have always told Martin that I wished we lived closer to them so the boys can grow up knowing them better than just seeing them once every couple of years.......they are a great family and I love them very much!)
