Family--Life--Too B-Z

It's May and its been almost half a year that 2009 is over. The Mortensens of WA are looking forward to a busy summer, busy fall, busy Year.
Since the last I wrote, The Mortensens have lost a family member amongst us.
When I say Mortensen's I mean.. ALL OF US--Hawaii to WA Bound.
Last month I got a call our Uncle Leonard Mortensen passed on to be with his saviour. Although life for Uncle was hard, he had a good family and he was full of life. He smiled always and always made it important to be part of family functions and make parties fun. Uncle was just that kind of guy.
Well, its been almost 10 years that myself or Robin have been home and our children have not met anyone on that side of the family; besides their immediate cousins.
Rob's brother offered to bring Robin home (only) which I ain't gonna lie, it was hurtful, but I understand. I just know that Uncle knows how I felt for him and his sweet family, whom I will add I was very close to. I wish our girls would have met them. Rob returned home and he was able to meet new family, reunite with old ones and try to enjoy himself. He came back renewed and although he missed his family terribly we were glad to have Rob back. He's my best friend and without him reminds me of the song "Without you" by mary j.
I know returning home for Rob was important and he was able to make closures and open new doors.
In March Rob celebrated his 41st birhday and that was fun....he got to eat cake and we played his favorite song "Regulators" by Warren G
If you know Rob, the intro explains who he is and what he does.. A man of Steel.
Our girls are working hard in school and keeping busy. Chey still with her viola and McKenna still loving her electronic games.
School for me is going good and I have an awesome team. I love them! We are more than friends we are family.
I just got a new laptop which I am having a blast on and its' so very personable.
I love it. I love how it feels under my fingers and how good I can type. Yippe..
I will attach fotos later of all the family activities we done and recently we enjoyed the day at the park under full sun and 70degrees here in WA. woo hoo!!
What's next for the Mortensens...'
