Second First Entry

So Michele and Elaine have goaded me into attempting a blog again. I guess it's about time. It's only been eight months.

We flew down to Ft. Rucker last weekend for Chloe's blessing. Had much fun. She is without a doubt the prettiest baby I have seen recently. Of course, I was rather good looking at that age, but that was years ago. We had a fine time going to the Army Aviation Museum and playing Whacky 6. Kevin and Amy are making great daddy and mommy already, although last weekend they kept getting elbowed out of the way by everyone else.

Elaine is hunkered down in quilting mode, except when I can pry her loose to go dancing. What with here broken arm and my gallbladder deal, plus work and other things, we hadn't been out dancing for about six months. So when we got the chance a couple of weeks ago, we took it. Got in about five hours in one Saturday.

I have been waiting for the weather to warm up so I can fly the cool R/C airplane my wonderful wife got me for Christmas. It's been sitting here on the counter for a month, ready to go. I'm kinda wired up about flying it the first time. It has been about twenty years since I last had my thumbs on a transmitter. After the first crash the stress level will be lowered somewhat.

In kid news: not much change from the Christmas letter. Carla's birthday was friday but I haven't gotten a hold of here yet to see how it went. John blew out his knee again. We are hoping it is not too serious. Kevin is starting his next class tomorrow. He is glad to be doing something towards training instead of sitting home all day. Of course, I think Chloe and Amy make that a little easier to take. Kara has moved into here new apartment. We haven't gotten to see it yet but it sounds pretty nice. Amy J. is getting ready for Junior Miss, which is April 18th. She is pretty excited. Michele and Jesse are working away on their scrapping mail order business. It is moving right along, with lots of sales an lots of new things coming out.
We will try to get updates on the rest of the gang for the next entry. I will now attempt to post this without losing it.
