No Pictures today

Busy..Busy..Busy...
That's how we describe life. On the upside the weather has finally turned nice! Well at least right now, at this very moment, it's nice. Who knows what another half hour will bring. It seems to like to rain here on the weekends.
Daniel is doing great. We are charting new territory! He is past 4 weeks and if he makes it til Sunday that will be 5 weeks with no episodes!
Katie has been busy babysitting and cat sitting. What will she do with all that money? Hmmm..I think Mom and Dad need a loan. ;-)
We had a fantastic time camping at the coast, and I did get some fun shots. When time permits I'll post a few.

Oh so handsome! 

A smirk for Mom

Surgery Day!

Daniel's surgery went well. The Dr. had to custom fit his tube because of the limited space in Daniel's middle ear. He's hopeful the tube will stay in and will help stabilize the pressure in his ear. Daniel had no problem with the anesthesia.
Katie's graduation party was a big success. She had a great time! The weather was gorgeous! There were some great volleyball matches going on in the backyard. Today Katie has dress rehearsal for her play. Tomorrow night is the big event. She's excited
***Quest for the 5K*** Mark and I officially registered for our first 5K in July. It will be in Portland. I'm a little nervous, but excited as well!

Another Healthy Day!

Hello All. Well it was enough healthy day here. That is so encouraging for us! We went to the Prefontaine Classic track meet and had a great time. The highlight however was later in the day when we were invited to a friend's house for a bbq and visit with their friend, Olympian Bernard Lagat. He actually goes by the name Kip. What a great time! He and his wife and 4 of his very good friends, 3 of whom were from Kenya like himself, were there. I'll post some pictures soon. Oh, they had us laughing our heads off! Their stories about their first weeks in the States were so funny. We stayed up until 11p.m. They had an early flight out of Eugene. 5a.m. So I'm sure they were exhausted. He was such a humble man and his wife was just precious. They had their 'baby' with them. Miss Piggy. A cute little pug puppy. Katie had a ball with her! It was a night to be treasured for sure. We look forward to visiting with them next year when the Prefontaine once again comes to town.

Graduations

Would you believe we have a boatload of graduations going on in our family this year?
Tamika, my niece, is graduating from COLLEGE! (How old am I?)
Tyler, my nephew, is graduating from High School
Ross Thomas, my nephew, is graduating from High School
And finally, Katie, our little Katie, is graduating from the 8th grade and moving on up to High School. When will it end? I'm so proud of the lot of them!
