This morning I am in a bit of shock. I found out that my Aunt has Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma throughout her lymph system, and it has spread to her bone marrow. I owe so much to her. I grew up living a few blocks away from her, so she was always there. She is the one who started me on the path of Family History, for which I am so grateful. I will always be indebted to her for the wealth of information she gave me that helped me in my research. Since Dad passed away 2 years ago, she has called periodically to see how we are doing, and to check up on our family history progress. I thought the title of this picture was fitting-Aunts quilted memories. My memories are like quilt pieces sewn together representing a lifetime!

homecoming.

Ok. The latest on Michaels homecoming is that no matter when they come home the celebration will be the first weekend in July. So basically it will be the 4th of July. I would really like to have the whole family here, but I know some of you have plans already. I will let you know when we have more information.

Chicken Pox

OK. Michael's unit was scheduled to start pulling out of Iraq this weekend, but now they may be delayed because of an outbreak of Chicken Pox! No one is allowed in until the officials feel they have it under control! Therefore, no one can leave until their replacements are able to go in. So we are on hold on this end!

MAY

It is finally May. After a long week of cold and Snow agian, I am looking forward to a warmer weekend.

Tawny and Nick have bought their first home-we are soooo excited for them.

Michael leaves Iraq this month, who knows when he will be home???

School is almost over, summer is almost here, and our hummingbirds are back.

For the first time Forrest will be teaching part day through the summer. He is quited excited about that, but it will cut down on his usual free time.

SNOW

OK, I know most of you know how I feel about Snow. Well, here it is April 24, I am sitting in front of the window watching it snow outside. (Yes Tawny, I know it is warm there!) Oh woe is me!
