Don't ya love Tony's shadow on Dan's shirt? Check out the ears!!!!!

Bahahahahaha!!!

Hey Carron!!

I'm so happy that it wasn't cancer for your Dad. I hate that dreaded disease. I hope his surgery goes without a hitch & he's back at it in no time! It'll be hard to keep the good man down, but he has to be a good patient! I'll be thinking of you....

I'm sure you heard that Joel's niece Jayne (Jeff & Nancy's only child) died of cancer a year ago. She was Morgan's age. They have a website still & are honoring her memory on a constant basis, and whenever I read what Nancy writes, it just brings tears to my eyes. I can't imagine the pain that they have to live with. It does make you feel fortunate & just want to go hug your kids & never let go...

We've been good. BUSY! Jon just got done with marching band & golf, and got hired yesterday at Best Buy - need to keep him busy! Morgan just finished school volleyball, and just had her club volleyball tryout. Club goes from now until April. We love that! She's also working as a swim aid for little kids' lessons at the Marion Y, she's a little fish!

My sister & her hubby just moved in July from Southern Cal, where they've been living since we lived out there, to Washington state - a log cabin in the woods, on 8.5 acres. The four of us & our two dogs are renting a van & driving out there for Christmas! We can't wait! They have an Aussie, too, who is crazy like our little one. It'll be very fun.

Good to hear from you & great wishes for a speedy recovery for Pete! We may be able to make it on the 25th - I have it written down!

Love ya!

Di went through her archives and dug up a bunch of photos!

Should we all sing "a little ditty about Jack and Diane?"

Thanks for sharing, woman!

Hey Carron!

Thanks again for all the info! I have been checking the blogsite & will continue to check it out. We really do all appreciate your efforts in keeping us all in touch!!

Thanks woman!

Oh, yea, the poochies are Bayley and Dusty! Woof. Woof.

Anyone have any idea where we were? That brick wall in the background is NOT at my house.
