It's Hot Outside..

Temperatures have been in the 115 range for the last few days.  That has meant lots of swimming and popsicles around our house.  Since our last blog update Emilia was born and is beautiful and thriving.  Ed had a birthday, Tommy had a "practice" birthday party since his birthday is over summer break and most of his friends would be out of town at the real date he celebrated early and is excited to celebrate with family on the real birthday date.  He also graduated from kindergarten!  David and Carter are headed to middle school, Cade had successful leg surgery, did a great job doing physical therapy with his Dad and is headed to high school in the fall.  Cox's are moving to a great new home with lots of room for a growing family and we are so excited for them.  Allison's baby boy is due in a couple weeks and we are so excited to meet him and welcome him to our family.  Cami is hoping to come to Grandma's house by herself for a week or so in July, and we are excited to have her.  McKeehan's got a new car, a mini van, that has made Jennifer's life lots easier.  Ed's truck broke down this last weekend and he is hoping he can get a new one, we'll see.  My Dad will be turning 90 in another week or so.  We are doing some renovations on the house, all in all everyone is well and so busy!  Grandkids rotate in and out of our house constantly and we are so grateful to have them here, and even more so that they want to be here!  Looking forward to the fourth of July to celebrate the birth of this country, and as I have researched family history over the last few months, concentrating on those patriot ancestors who were involved in the founding and birth of this great land, it has come to mean even more to me.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!
