Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad!

My pants celebrate another wedding anniversary today - 50+ years!  What great examples...

Happy birthday, Mom!

Hope you have a great day!  We love you! 

Happy birthday, Kevin!

Our youngest child is 12 today - woohoo!  We are having a sleep-over party for him with about 8 boys spending the night!  Should be a lot of fun...

Busy, busy...

Life keeps rolling along at our house.  Sue is running around working, helping Anne, and taking care of me and the kids.  I am working, traveling a little, and doing my thing.  Stephen and Kevin are back in to the swing of the school year.  Megan is back in college and doing well.  And Jacob moved to Atlanta and is busy with his life.  Ah, life is good...

Anne is back at her home

After the long ordeal of recovering from a stroke she is finally back in her apartment.  She blames Sue and I for the whole thing and is very angry about everything that has happened, which is understandable.  It's tough when someone you've helped treats you the way she is treating us but we know that we are doing the right thing in helping her.  Pray that Anne does what she is supposed to do to stay healthy and not fall back in to the bad habits she had that led to her having to go to the hospital in the first place. 

Anne getting better

She was moved from the hospital to a rehab center this week.  She is recovering well from the stroke but still can't feel when she swallows something and it goes down the airway.  They are going to work on strengthening her tongue and throat muscles as well as teach her how to administer her medicine through her stomach tube.  God is helping her heal well! 

Had a nice vacation

We had a great vacation this summer.  We got to go to Florida and stay with my parents, then went to Universal Studios and had a great time riding rides, went to Daytona Beach for an afternoon, and just relaxed at the house.  It was fun!
