Reagan with her playhouse at Mimo and Papa's house.
Reagan let me roll her hair. It was so much fun.
Meredith with her friends from Clemson and their 8 children under three years old.
Reagan and Rory in the Well's family chair.
Rory is walking. Such a cutie!
We had a visit from Meredith, Rory and Reagan while John was at a school in New Mexico. We had such fun. We played outside as much as we could but it was a very hot week. Reagan and Rory have grown up so much. It is hard to believe Rory will be one in August and Reagan three in October. Where has the time gone! We also had a reunion with her friends from Clemson. 5 roommates and 8 babies all under 3. WOW! They have decided the next reunion will be without children so they can actually talk.

Pampas Grass. Multiplies by the minute. Does anyone know (besides a bomb) HOW to get rid of it???
The Wedding of Beka and Mike. So beautiful!
Our friends Shirley & Larry Reeves.
Hail 6-15-2010
2 WEEKS with no internet and telephone has about driven us (mainly me) crazy. Every night John and I wanted to look something up on the internet and we couldn't. Fortunately for us there was an understanding person at Charter named Kayla and she finally got us help. We had a TERRIBLE storm June 15 and this is when it all started. 45 minutes of hail and wind. Mom and I had never seen anything like it. We now need a new roof. I have attached a picture of the hail.

They had the wedding outside and who would have thought it would be such a scorcher on June 5. They had the programs on fans and it was not only brilliant but a life saver. Larry Reeves married them. He also took part in Meredith and John's ceremony. He and Shirley are our good friends.
We are all doing pretty good. Mom is still struggling with the control of her pain but 80% of the time we can get her comfortable. Her 87th birthday is July 5. The plant where John now works is running much better. Thank you for your prayers. It has been a real team effort but so far, so good. John Basel's biopsy results came back benign. They will continue to monitor him every six months with an MRI but for now they are just going to let him slowly get off the medication. They are at The Glen in Colorado Springs (where John and I met) for a Christian conference. They took the girls. I hope they get a good picture of the family there. We have many of John and me 34 years ago. WOW that is a long time. Ben is doing well. He has a good job right now and has prospects of more. They are building a new stadium and adding on to the LAX airport so these are good long term prospects. We are praying he gets one or the other.
I am still sorting through things and the women at Goodwill know me by name. The garage is almost finished. We have one more trip to storage and we will be done. John and I are also going through clothes and getting rid of things we no longer wear. This is adding a lot of space. John's pack rat days are over. = )

The lilies opened up one day and Mom and I just enjoyed it so much!
I brought his English Duck from Brazil and he is happy in the yard
Looking at the house.
Looking out from the front porch. 
I had to post pictures of our yard. I call it our English Garden. Everyday I walk through the yard and something new has bloomed.

Rory and her cuteness!
Meredith Rory and Mom
Kathy with the Chipmunks!
Reagan with all Mom's smurfs and strawberry shortcake's in the bathtub.
Just wanted to send some pictures your way and to let you know how things are. We are still not totally settled into our home but we have the yard settled and that was certainly a big job. It sure was worth it. Everyday there is something new springing forth in beauty. I've never seen so many flowers, trees and bushes. I'll try to get a list together someday so you will understand.
We enjoyed a visit from Katherine and Jim. They came to visit Mom but got the surprise to get to see Reagan and Rory at the same time.
John and Meredith just left with Reagan and Rory. We certainly enjoyed our week with them and Meredith and John enjoyed a week of relaxing on their way to a wedding in Florida. I think they needed a break after all they have been through. John's medication has been reduced twice and he is back to work so that is a huge answer to prayer. Please continue to keep him in your prayers.
Mom is doing better. We have her pain under control and we see her cancer doctor tomorrow. He is the kindest man and has the warmest bedside manner. A perfect man to be a cancer doctor. I will keep you updated. Pray that we can keep her pain under control.
Today our son, Ben, turns 30. Incredible to me as I remember 30 years ago so vividly like it was yesterday. Happy Birthday Ben.
