Can't wait for Spring..........

Had enough of the cold and wet. Got alot of rain this week, but trying to dry out now.

Rick was off for the month of January, but back to work now. Jess is still off work and no hopeful sign on when he will go back. Ross is just waiting for good weather to get back at it. I am ready for season here at Davis'

Ross and Amanda and girls went to Dianes' for a week in February. Had a good time and great weather there. The girls are doing great, cannot believe Kallie will be one March 19. Her party is March 21. Went down last week and watched Kayla at gymnastics practice.

Lilly had been on a bowling league this winter that Rick signed her up for, and is doing pretty well. Actually won her way into a district tourney and Jess is going to get her a ball for her birthday March 18 ( will be 8) and having a bowling birthday party. He had also signed up Isaiah, but he was not quite ready for every week yet. Maybe next year. They did bowl in a Sweetheart tourney on February 14, with one child and one adult that they won. Got a plaque and their picture in the paper. Of course none of the other bowlers had a 'pro' bowler on their team.

Isaiah and Logan are doing well. Isaiah has been in preschool at St. Augustines all year and will be registering for kindergarten in April. He will also start T-ball this spring.

The most current update on Candace is they went for her MRI at Cleveland yesterday and will be going back Monday to start chemo and radiation, 5 days a week, for 6 weeks. After that, the plan is 10 months of radiation back here in Toledo. We are still praying for the best but just don't know.

Mom and Dad are well, it fact pretty good right now. Jess has been going over to help him clean out the barn and I am going to make a big effort to clean up downstairs. It is working well having the cleaning ladies come in every other week. He does want to put up a garage this year and paint the roof of the barn. So there are a couple of projects in the works.

Anyone have plans for the summer yet ?????? We are going to National bowling in Vegas this year, so that should be fun. June 8 - 14, Rick has never been there and I have not been there since Jeanne and I were there, a l o n g time ago. Mom and Dad are planning a trip to Minnesota at the end of May. If you remember them talking about 'Swede and his wife' who were in the navy with them in Pensicola. They usually stopped to see Mom and Dad on their way thru to Florida every few years. They stopped going to Florida, so they have not seen them in a few years and she is not doing well, in a home now, and Mom and Dad would like to see them one more time.

Talk again soon, Cheryl
