Living the life

My friend's husband just had knee replacement surgery, and Molly, their dog is helping him recover.

I enjoyed watching Sally Field and others in "Remarkably Bright Creatures" the other night. Which reminded me of the following trip to the Georgia Aquarium.

These children are all grown up, with the littlest a sophomore in college this year. And one of my sons in this picture has divorced from the wife he's with and remarried in 2019. Definitely a portrait of the family from the past.

Myself (left to right,) son Russ holding his littlest, Kate, while his other 2 daughters (Caroline and Audrey) are front row center and right. Oldest son, Marty with dark hair and beard, and his (then) wife with his son, William on far right. Their daughter, Cayenne, is holding Kate's hand over next to me.

OK, a family update...

Missing are my other son, Tai and his wife Kendra; Russ' wife, Michelle; Marty's current wife, Barbara; Marty's oldest son, Michael and his wife Amanda. Of course some of these people weren't part of the family yet in 2008, but I'm updating all of them as of 2026.

While I'm mentioning family, I send happy birthday wishes to my son Russ, who turns 59 today! He doesn't read blogs (of course, he's busy with other things!) so I'll call him!

Here's a post wishing him a happy birthday, including earlier photos taken when the whole family got together for my 80th.

While unpacking, I found this pin from when Russ played soccer for Temple Terrace (FL) including a couple of soccer exchanges with families in England.
