Update for July

Things have been crazy lately. We are into our sixth month of the pregnancy and are happy to announce that this October we will be welcoming a baby boy named Owen. These days we are working on getting the nursery and our lives ready for the new addition.

I am officially on summer break and it did not come soon enough. After that ending to the year with the "tornado" and then that very long summer school session but at last we are finished and I am taking full advantage of resting and doing my usual lunches with friends throughout the summer.

Cash and Carter are doing well. Both were fixed last week and though Carter is not really missing much, Cash was a little older and realizes what is gone and is still harboring some ill feelings but I tell him (of course in private and not where is can be heard) that it was Dad's idea and that if I had my way he would still be complete. I think he is beginning to believe me!

Bill is enjoying the summer fishing (well he attempts) whenever possible and or riding on the Harley. Of course now that I have a growing belly and am high risk I am not allowed on the bike. Secretly I think Bill likes that. Guys will be guys.

Still thankful everyday that God has blessed me so much. Each day I remember that song.... God is great, Beer is good and People are crazy!

Erie, PA to Watch Lyle and Colleen Sansoucie tie the knot!
















Hello to all. this last month has been filled with crazy busy schedules for both Bill and I but we love it best when we are on the go. In December we headed up to Erie, PA to Lyle and Colleen Sansoucie's wedding. Bill drove up and I joined him several days later by flying in. I must say that when I left Missouri it was not too cold and the sun was shinning. I had a layover in Philly and by the time I landed in Erie, the runway was a blanket of snow and it showed no signs of letting up. Colleen said it was just flurries. Ok, well those kind of flurries are what makes our schools here in MO take a week of snow days.

Lyle was our best man and Bill was there to return the favor. It was a greta event and so beautiful and elegant. Colleen had said she wanted a winter wonderland as a reception adn well she sure did get it. It was a wonderful night and when it came time for my hubby to make his speech he was great! We also met some people while there that have already become good friends and we are looking forward to the next trip. The carivan of Missourians that went was long. Drew, Nicki, Thomas, Jason, Bill and I were just a few.

I enclosed pictures.
