These are my handsome sons - from left to right, Joshua, Brian and Sean. Joshua is in the Army, serving in South Korea. Brian and Sean still live at home, and Brian is the high-flying young man who helped install some beautiful windows this week!
This photo was taken on a Christmas snowboarding trip - instead of buying gifts, we took the boys to the slopes for five days. They said it was the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER! :)

He's had surgery on one knee, and needs it on the other knee, but his mama is a chicken about putting him through it again. He's a good, brave dog, though, so I am sure he will come through with flying colors once again! And, yes, I put people to sleep for surgery every day - but I can talk to my patients and tell them what I'm doing and why! I can't explain it to the dog, and he just knows that he hurts. So, I'm waffling.
She is a Tennessee Walking Horse/Spotted Saddle cross and the boys ride her around the farms, and occasionally on the equestrian trails behind the property. I am mostly too busy to ride, these days, and I'm a bit of a chicken in my old age. Melissa is patient with me, though - she's the equestrian expert in the family and I'm lucky to have her as a friend!
Well, that should do, for a start. I'll post more photos tomorrow! Right now dinner is on the table and I've got to go!

you have a beautiful family. It makes me miss my boys so much. I raised 5 of them. the two oldest which are now 27 and 26 were his kids yet I raised them so considered them mine. I guess they finally decided that out of site, out of mind. I haven't seen them in a year. My oldest was killed by a car 2 years ago, my next one is 21 and lives in a special house in town- he has downs and my last one is 9 and he's the one I have with the crazy custody. I was a mom of so many now the mom of one every other week. lol I'm off on a tangent again ! beautiful family you have there. Thanks for the photos.
I am so sorry about your sons, Lisa - it's a shame the older two didn't stay in touch. And the loss of the older one - I can't even imagine how hard that was. You're a strong woman. I'm glad you still have the younger two in your life, and I'm sorry you don't have as much of them as you'd like. :(

Great photo's, they made me smile. Terri has done a great job with her boys, they are very polite and well spoken. And Achilles is so funny, he wags his bum for want of a tail and you can't help but snuggle him.
