Not Just the Way I Move

This blog will expand the use of the term Shannerisms to mean not only the way I move but also the goings-on of me and my family. The latest and most exciting thing going on is:

Brady's dad, widower of seven years...IS...ENGAGED!!

Meet Denise! We love her!
I am super excited for Kelly to have found that special lady who is his PERFECT fit. I have never had a mother-in-law so I am curious to see how this changes the dynamics of our family. I know things will be different and that fact alone makes me just the teeniest dab apprehensive. However I could not have hand-picked a better woman to be part of my eternal family and grandma to my little sweeties. Denise is smart, funny, whitty, cute, caring, spiritual, energetic and a real go-getter.
Yay, Kelly! Way to take the plunge! Pictures of the ring and celebration to follow!

Why "Shannerisms?"

Well, I'll tell you why. Some people are normal people and when they move their limbs or talk with their hands they look normal. Others are described as having odd mannerisms. But only I...(I and one of my daughters) have Shannerisms. Only Kara and I move with such grace and beauty as to be worthy of this new gem in English terminology (pause for effect...and) Shannerisms, coined by my dear husband, Brady.

Me and Kara are shown here, not moving. We don't like to show off.
