IT'S MELISSA'S BIRTHDAY

Justin and Melissa at her 5th birthday.



Happy Birthday to you dear Melissa. Here are some random pictures that I have found on our computer. I hope you enjoy her life as we do. She and her Dad are traveling to SC to see Jordan today for his football game tonight. I certainly hope they are having fun. Lauren and I and the zoo are left here. We are not bitter!



Melissa was 3 when she got her 1st cat, Calin for Christmas. Calin lived until last year. Melissa slept with Calin every night like this. Because of the way they slept, unbenowst to us, Calin had ringworm and gave Melissa ringworm. Unfortunately, she got it in her scalp which is very bad. She had to take a caustic medication that could affect her liver. Because of that, she had to have a lot of labwork. That's when I knew she was one tough gal. Now 20 years later, she is still proving that to us.




In comes Bailey to the picture. Yes, that is a plastic cap on her head. Lauren put this to make it look like a shower cap and e-mailed the picture to Mel. Bailey came into Mel's life when she graduated from high school. She paid for her. What I never understood is that she got her and left for college. I guess that makes us Bailey's adoptive grandparents. She has also 2 cats. Can you tell she loves animals. We are enjoying having Melissa and all her pets at home right now. It is quite a zoo and no I am not talking about Melissa.







It's Bailey again!


Austin, after Austin, Texas of course.


Brady after Brady Quinn. How did you guess?

Being crazy with a friend from college.

Colts game. Melissa is a huge fan.
Playing with big brother Justin. Grandma taught them a cotton ball game which she has all over her face.
This was not an unusual site having Calin sleeping on her.

The Floro girls. That's Aunt Carol and Aunt Shirley at Justin and Melodie's wedding. They were all quite pleased with each other, don't you think?

That's concentration.




This was taken at Ryan and Lindsey's wedding.

Our babies. All grown up!

Melissa will be living in Florence Ky and working at the Cincinnati airport as a TSA agent. It sounds so secretive like the FBI... She will be doing that for a while during her job search. Her desire is to stay in Homeland Security. Who knows she may be a FBI agent one day. Right now she is enjoying seeing a lot of celebrities come through and we are enjoying hearing the stories.
