A Bad Day, A Low Day, A Sad Day

Hello Dear Family,

I am going through something right now, something I have been fighting with for about 7 years but has recently gotten much worse. I don't want to elaborate here, but It's something I have managed to hide pretty well for a while.

I am getting some help, Craig will be going with me to support me in any way possible, and to make sure that I have everything I need to recover from this. But, this is just the start.

Today was probably the lowest day of my adult life, with circumstances of my own making. I will talk with you privately, but I don't want the kids to know.

Here is the love seat Monty recovered

Happy Birthday Hailey

What a cutie!

Happy Birthday Miss Hailey! You are much loved!

Visiting Mr. & Mrs. McPherson

Today I went to go see John's grandparents, they are always such a joy to be around. Their new condo is just so bright and big and new, I took over a strawberry pot for herbs, a bunch of cookies and sweets (always a hit) and some coffee. We had lunch and then I took Nora to Lowe's to look at some fence sections so that she can block the neighbors. It was a nice visit. Dick looks really good, and tells me he is in no pain whatsoever.

We talked alot about retirement financing today, as they always have good advice. I told them what Craig and I are doing and they seemed to be happy about that. :)

They are very anxious to have John, Cheri and the kids to come back to the Northwest.

Ooh! We liked the flowers.

Last week our kids sang a special. They're all sooo cute.

Garden near Tacoma

For some reason everything is in Thai now, but I still managed to make it here. All of the pics are great. Thanks you! I'm sending a picture of Ahleah and Hannah, the little ones I spent the week with. They keep everything lively. I hope it's not too big.

Cara's Visit, A to Z

I had a wonderful time on my short days off visit! Leavenworth was wonderful! Perfect Day.
The Chocolate Shop was fantastic, and once the camera came out.... FREE CHOCOLATE!
Just Glorious.
The girls grew a little since September! They were shy with me.... for about 10 seconds.
Natalie sings the most hilarious songs "Six -Plus- Six Is TUHWEHULVE!"
Hailey was just her own little person, doing her own thing all day. It was fun to watch her just go about her business.
The only part of my visit that dissappointed me was my lack of time with Monty. What, maybe an hour? Here he is 'splainin' it.
Some arty Church photos (This is Amy on the piano)

Mom and Monty sang, and that was wonderful to be there for.

On the way home, I stopped at Steven's Pass and took a bunch of photos of the skiiers. If you click on the photo you'll get it big enough to see them.

I sure had a wonderful time seeing everyone! Much Love!
