March 25 is the official due date.

Back at it.......

Had requests to get back at it on the blog. Have sent instructions to Jeanne and Diane, and a new invite to Wayne. Will also send invite to Roxanne when I get home and get her address.

Well it was dry, dry dry, and now it won't stop raining. Kara has a little water in her basement, but the rest of us are good.

Isaiah had his 4th birthday party and Kayla will have her 2nd birthday party on Sept. 2.

Mom and Dad have re-set up their camping for Sept. 9 thru the 23rd. Too hot, Tony and Martha gone, then the rains came. He did take the boat up, but I think they are going to stick to the pontoon boat. Easier for them both to get in and out and they can take the dog on it.

The fair is over, what a job. Will net about 8,000 - 9,000 for the church. We will set aside the money to finance mission trips that the people in church take. A group of men go each year to Kentucky or Lousiana, and the youth take a trip each year. And other groups here and there.
they usually either have fundraisers or pay their own way.

Lilly started back to school Wednesday. Yes, she is still staying at our house, it's been almost 3 months now. Goes to her Mom's maybe 2 evenings a week. Nothing like starting over with 6 year old. LOL.

We would still like to set up a group camping trip, so you 3 put heads together and try to come up with when for next summer. You guys set up when and we will get the sites. I don't what would better for you all, a long week-end, Friday thru Monday, or during a week, you decide.

Other news is that Jess did get an indictment against David in his assault case. Hearing was last week.

New Pics

Hey there, the title is a link to new pictures.

Now for the updates:

Jess is back to work, gets unwired April 27 and the screws taken out. He will be put out for that.
He is doing pretty well, keeping his weight up. His menus consist of mashed potatoes, CoCo wheats and a variety of baby food.

Logan is walking and has had his first birthday party.

Isaiah has a new puppy, His name is Foofy. 6 month old, dachshund mix.

Lilly now gets off the school bus here every afternoon. Is doing well in kindergarten.

Kayla is cute as ever. Trying to adjust to Ross going back to work after being home with her for the winter. She's not that happy about it.

Roxanne is getting married May 26 in Las Vegas. Lucy's sister is out there. We have met him in Baton Rouge the other year. Very nice couple. I believe they will both in up in Dallas as dentists.
Wayne if you have an email address for her, I can send her the blog also.

Mom and Dad are doing well. His VA plan is working out well. It is 8.00 per med per month. All done thru the mail. Still has his Part D insurance also, there are some meds that they don't carry that he takes.
We do have them signed up for the campground for the month of August on the lake. Or I guess Diane is finalizing that today. Cost for the month will be 400.00, don't know about tax or whatever. If you can contribute, that can be sent to Diane. They are very excited about it.

Reminder for everyone here, next Saturday is clean up day at the farm.

What's new with you ???

South Carolina

Hi All ! Click on the title to see pics of our trip. I couldn't believe it when I saw I hadn't posted since November. Hope all is well with everyone.

John will probably be going back this weekend to Camp Lejeune NC for 52 days.

Did sign Dad up on a med plan thru Humana, but he got a letter this week saying 'welcome to VA health benefits', so that would be great. On their insurance the coverage gap is May, June and July at about 692 a month, so it will be great to get the VA thing going.

Just talked to Diane and they got a digital camera, so she will have pics soon for us.

What's going on where your at ????????

John's address

We have gotten 4 letters since John left. In his second letter he wrote, "I love you all intensely to the point of tears." Wow, was that nice to hear. He admits he has been stretched. He seemed a little homesick, as he said he did'nt know what he had until he doesn't have it anymore(meaning us). He came in first in the running in his company with a time of 9:22. I'm thinking it was a two mile. Because of that the "rabbits" do not have to do firewatch. I think that is night duty of some sort. In his most recent letter he said all of the 2nd and 3rd squad had firewatch because they messed up in morning cleanup.. The beds were'nt made well enough . This was not John's squad. So while he was writing us he said instead of 3 on watch there were 26 people roaming around the squad bay. He is enjoying the chapels. He said they are seriously and sincerely about JC.

His graduation is Jan 12. There are two airports nearby. I hope some of you can come to this great occasion. He will be able to come home for 10 days and then return to Camp LeJeune for the School of Infantry.

He said his right shoulder has a strong burning from carrying his rifle. Please pray about this for him! He also said his emotions have been a little unstable at times, but mostly he's had adequate sleep, good meals, and composure.
