The photo probably gives it away but we are not at our usual stomping grounds.
We traveled to our niece's wedding and, if I must say so myself, we cleaned up pretty well.
The last time we went to a wedding (August 2022) I was still drinking, and, even though I thought I looked OK, I didn't.
I can see a difference.
210 days without any booze helps out.
And the kids have grown quite a bit since then.
Mrs. Shife still looks amazing.
I am a lucky guy with a wonderful family and glad I got help before it was too late.
Thanks for your support, thanks for stopping by and I will probably not talk to you tomorrow.
I will stop by and say hello when we make our way back home.
Take care and enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day weekend.
I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.
Lovely family's, and the kids are growing like the weeds, as the old folks say.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bob, and they certainly are.
DeleteEnjoy the wedding!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debra.
DeleteYou are a lucky guy. Keep moving forward.

DeleteThat's a frame-worthy family photo

Thanks, Jimmy. Always good to hear from you.
DeleteGreat picture and yep those kids have definitely gotten taller! I hope you enjoyed the wedding and everything went smoothly for the newlyweds.
ReplyDeleteThanks, jenny_o.
DeleteYour kids are junior copies of yourselves and quite a handsome family if I may say so. My ex-the-second has been without beer or any other alcohol for six years now.
ReplyDeleteThank you, River.
DeleteAnd congrats to your ex.
DeleteGood gravy. Hayden must have shot up four or five inches. And Kyle? He's past-your-eyes-ed. You look like a happy man who has everything he needs in life (and a basset hound to boot). The whole family looks like a happy bunch, really. You are doing a good job.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debby. Kyle can't wait to be taller than me. He is getting so close.
DeleteYay! You all look so good & the kids are looking just that much older. Time does fly, but sometimes that's OK. :)
ReplyDeleteIt sure does, Bea. They were just babies a little bit ago.
DeleteIt's nice to see you and your family. Good for you on how well you're doing! I admire you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kelly.
DeleteA great looking family!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ed.
DeleteLove the photos! You look younger without the drinking. Beautiful family, Matt.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret.
DeleteNice photo--nice looking family. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate it, Jeff.
DeleteI love the pictures.
