The Very Young Years

My Little Boys

Beautiful Memories and Happy Days

Russell (Roe Roe) ‐What a wonderful time to be alive!

Russell, whenever you walked into a room, you lit it up, you have a talent for making me happy! And, all the ups and downs in my life were written off and forgotten, on the day you were born.

Remember your young years, I played with you with every free moment. We took lots of walks, threw stones in the creek, sat at the train station and watched the MARC Train enter through the tunnel. What fun!

The Way We Were!

You and Jeffrey are not just sons to me. You're my life, my soul, my heart and most of all, the reason for my existence. What a Great Life we shared Russell!

And a Jeffrey Arrives on a warm July Day just after Russell's Birthday

And Jeffrey
, just in time, we jumped into the Green Honda Accord and raced to Truckee Hospital at 9:00 at night. At any minute we thought you would arrive too soon. We drove in a panic. And, when we arrived, your mom was taken to a birthing room while Russell and I waited within earshot. Just when you were about to arrive, nature called to your dad. I rushed to the bathroom and just as I exited, I heard your first cries of arrival.

What a thrill.

It was very early morning, we were all tired ‐ and your mom arranged for a rapid getaway‐in an instant, I brought our car up to the Hospital door, and with Russell in the front seat, your mom in a burst of energy rushed to the car, placed you in the car seat and off we went home to Reno. Everyone hungry, we made a lunch stop at Dynasty Chinese Restaurant, sat with you at a large table and celebrated your first restaurant experience.

What a day to remember!
