This was right after Clay came home from his mission. Defintely glad to be home, wouldn't you say? Clay makes fun of this blog and calls it, "Sunshine and Fingerlilies", Jingle-jangles and flap-jacks and all kinds of other funny names when I'm working on it. "Mom, are you working on that Jingle-jangle and flapjacks page again?" Ha! Grown up boys are so fun to have around.
Savannah - - - 2 months premature - - - you go girl! Holding her daddy's hand.
Rachel and Ashlynn came to Pensacola and both were sick alot. They would often pack up and go to the beach to take advantage of it's healing effects. It worked. They always came home a little pinker and feeling much better.
Down Syndrome Walk in Kansas City. Rachel and Ashlynn and Grandma Katie all walked with hundreds of other families with children who have Down's. Beautiful children everywhere we looked. Why couldn't the Dr. who named them have "Ups" as his name instead of "Downs." Maybe we should petition to get the name of Down's changed to reflect the happy natures of all people with "Downs." It was really nice to meet so many people who had something in common with us in Kansas.
Howard and Robin Williams in Kuwait. This was one of Howard's better days while living in an otherwise miserable place. Thanks Robin! Thanks Howard!!!!
Then there was the day than Savannah came into our family. She and her mom went to the hospital the same day as hurricane Dennis hit Pensacola and she was born a few days later. Her birth (2 months early) was no less dramatic than a hurricane. She gave us a scare but was a real fighter. Once she breathed her first breath there was no giving up for her. She was definitely cut out to be the first grandchild and the first child in her family.
This proves she is in Grandma Katie's blood-line. Feet that go on forever.
CLAY IS flippin' flackin' hilarious!
