Memory Lane

Recently I was cleaning out some of my computer files. I came across a couple of pictures that took me down memory lane. They are some pictures of Brady. I don't want my kids to think I favor him. It's just that I was going to delete these off my computer and this is a way to save them because I hope to print this book like Mindi did. Who knows, I might go back and search for other memory pictures.

Reese's One year old celebration!!!

I can't believe that Reese is one year old. She is a beautiful child and I think, as she grows, she is going to give Mindi and Arnold a run for their money. She loves her Uncle Kit and will go to most everyone. The sad part is that Mindi planned a wonderful birthday party and Reese was sick. Just the same, she is our darling granddaughter and we love her to death. Many more happy birthday's, Reese. We love you!!

Trip to Colorado

On September 2, Craig and I left for Colorado to spend a week with Brady, Erika, Crew and Kenndi. Mindi, Arnold, Reese, and Kit joined us for the Labor Day weekend. We had a great time. Every time I go to Colorado, I fall more in love with it. There are so many things to do. We drove to Estes Park and did a little bit of hiking and had a picnic. Erika's folks and Taylor were there with us. It was a wonderful week. It was sad to leave because we love being with all the family. Our drive to Colorado, with food stops, takes about nine hours. It gets harder to do but is very worthwhile. Kenndi is such a beautiful little girl and a welcome addition to our family.

While we were in Colorado, Dennis called to let us know that Larry has lung cancer. They began chemotherapy today, Monday, September 14. Our prayers are with Bonnie, Larry and their family as they face this trial.

Valerie is doing the same. She is tired all the time and won't talk much or see us. Linda and I try hard not to take it personal. In the beginning, I though we would need to be with her all the time but as it turns out, she doesn't seem to want us around much.
