No body Loves children like their Mother does.
In this photo we were at Uncle Steve's house on a short vacation from Panama. I think it was July 1989 because I was 5 months pregnant with Dean-o. We spent a week or two with Uncle Steve that summer - He was so wonderful to let us hang with him and he loved us all so much anyway... he wouldn't have had is any other way.
Look at Chaser's little baby foot... I used to kiss the bottom of his feet and he would giggle and wiggle... in fact you all did. I was and I still am such a great Mom. I love you children so much...
Let's see... Jimmy you must have been 8 and Shane you were 7 in this photo. We lived in Navy housing and if I remember correctly we lived at the Navy Housing complex named Rodman or Amador - Now I cannot recall which. It was beautiful in Panama. You boys had so much fun there especially chasing down the baby iguana's. One day you and about 6 other boys from the neighborhood chased a baby one - almost lime green colored - into our carport. Shane came running into the house to tell me you had him cornered out there. Everyone was huffing and puffing from running all over. I came out of the kitchen with Chaser on my hip and I looked down in the crack behind your dad's stacked up military boxes. I reached down and grabbed him right behind the head pulling him out and raising him above my head for all the boys to see. You all let out a huge cheer!! After you all got a close look at him we walked that baby iguana out to the big tree behind our house and set him there on the side of it. Away he went scurrying up the trunk to the top and all the kids were still in awe.
I have that memories and I cherish it... I hope that when you boys come back home all the rest of my memories will come back to me - a little at a time...
I Love you all... : ) Mom
