October 2011

It is almost the middle of October and it seems we have been busy. The first week  we had a great trip to Dothan to see the Birthday girl turn five.  She had a special party with two other little girls who also turned five.
Tooooo many kids, but we just went for some pictures and the left...

At noon, Becky's family and Ella Grace's other grandparents went to Brad and Becky's home for another party, lunch and presents. Ella Grace had about seven other kids(cousin's) there and they were able to play in the backyard.  Beautiful weather and it made the party so nice. I am posting some pictures.
  The amazing thing was seeing the big change in William Putnam. Just a few months and we hardly recognized him. He has grown up so much and starting to talk at 15 months.  He is definitely going to follow in Brad's footsteps, but he looks more like Becky.

Such fun to see the kids.

William had a great time. He was getting tired and finally went down for a nap. He loved the power car that Grandma Suzann helped him with.

Randy's Mom turned 80 last month. We missed, but we are going up the end of the month.
Congratulations to Anne and Dan Madsen on their 40th Wedding Anniversary this month.
Randy and I are Celebrating Twenty Years together. He surprised me yesterday with roses. They are beautiful.
Pat Quiggle has a birthday this month and so does my cousin, Barbara Brown McCusker. Happy birthday to all...

My cousin Nancy Hartley, in California found out she has Breast Cancer and in one week she had a mammogram, ultra sound and surgery. She says she feels fine and is home for now recuperating. Then she has to start radiation. I know she will do well because she has a really upbeat attitude. Good for you Nancy and we will help spread the word...Get a Mammogram...

I promised to keep you updated with Cindy. She is now home and doing well. She will have to have a lot of therapy, but she is making progress. Both the girls need a lot of support. Let's give it to them.

All is well at home here in Diamondhead. Fall and Winter are suppose to be mild, so lots of watering. We are enjoying Randy's vegetable's. We have okra, bell peppers, green beans and coming soon are cucumbers, cabbage and whatever else he planted. His garden is doing well. I just have parsley, rosemary and basil. They will die out when we get frost, but we can enjoy them for a while longer.

Guess that is enough for this time, I better save something for my next post.
