Turning "60" Didn't Hurt At All

To all our children and grandchildren, we want to thank you for your love and devotion to this family. Our hearts are overflowing with joy knowing how much you all wanted to bless us for our "60th birthday". For anyone else reading this letter, my husband John and I turned 60 years old in January and February of this year, 2009. Because half of our immediate family lives in Florida, our desire was to all get together for a family picture to include our two new grandchildren. Our wonderful children and of course their spouses, made this all possible. They purchased plane tickets and made arrangements for the pictures to be taken with a beautiful Florida setting. It was followed by a delicious dinner at a favorite Cuban Restaurant. A place sorely missed in Tennessee! It was truly special to all be together, including Great-Grandma Alba and the first meeting of new cousins baby Hope and Michael. ( she was definitely impressed with his full head of hair ). We spent time with relatives and in-laws and were able to celebrate baby Michael's Dedication at Church the following day. We had a wonderful party at Grandma Ana's and Grandpa George's house to honor Michael and family. I would definitely say that it was a very full and eventful week-end. The weather was beautiful and it was great to all be together, a rare occasion. So again to all our children, thank you again for making this the most memorable and painless transition. Our cup runneth over with love. Love Mom and Dad
