Liam and Declan are my Dreamer Boys!: Christmas Stockings Over the Fireplace

The stockings are up!! :)

Lukas Alan (b: 08-09-79)

I am the proudest woman on earth! I have the best hubby (married on December 23, 2001) who I am high-school sweethearts with. We went to college and graduated together at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in May, 2002. Luke is the cutest computer geek in my opinion, and steals my heart every day.

He is the bread-winner of the family as a remote administrator and works for a fabulous IT company in Dallas, TX. In his spare time, he's either listening to talk radio, playing with Legos or anything to do with Star Wars' bad guys (with Liam of course - he he he), watching football, or working out down to his goal weight (he's worked off over 60 pounds and dropping - I am SO proud of him!!). He is my best friend, my better half, and soul mate. :)

Our other little bundle of joy, Declan, was almost 5 months old when he went to heaven in August, 2007 after losing his battle with Liver Cancer (Hepatoblastoma, Stage 2) and complications with his Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome.

Declan was one strong cookie who laughed and smiled through the toughest of times, yet gave the nurses and doctors a piece of his mind when he wasn't happy about something. :) He lit up the room with his adorable and playful personality! He will ALWAYS be missed and loved!!
