Dianne - HAPPY BIRTHDAY....Cha Cha Cha

Dianne - Wife of Donnie, Mother of my daughter in law, Kim, Mother in law of my son, Brady, and Nanny to the grandchildren we share, Emma, Abby Claire and John Brady. If you read Kim's blog (Lawson Party of Five) you will know that Dianne has been recovering from a serious illness. She is doing great and looks great. Dianne was in the ICU at DCH for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and did not leave the hospital for several months. Many tearful prayers were raised on her behalf and they were answered. I am sure that the birthday celebration today will be very joyous.

Hillary Clinton...we do not agree on a lot. It takes a village to raise a child.....we do agree on that!

Dianne and Donnie are part of the village we share trying to raise Emma, Abby and John Brady. Mel and Ellen also share that village with us in raising Lawson. I believe children thrive in a circle of people that love them. The bigger the circle the better. So...today is a happy day...our circle remains unbroken and we get to say Happy Birthday Dianne!
