Memorial Day

Mum and Dad were in town for Memorial Day Weekend and the whole family got together for a cookout...come July 19 Vanessa and Sean will have added one more to the clan!

Visitors

This afternoon, Andre had some little visitors!


Some wonderful friends from church came for tea and were such an encouragement to us...thank you Lopez family!

Surgery #4

Andre has survived the fourth surgery on his knee! He went in at 3 pm today and we were home by 6 this evening. The doctor removed a lot of scar tissue from inside the knee and was able to bend it almost all the way back. He seemed pleased but did say that he may have to do another of this kind of surgery again in a few months. An ACL repair may follow that.

So, now he's in for some intense physical therapy, work-outs every day on a bike, and 6 hours a day on a machine that automatically keeps his knee moving...photos to follow!

Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers' Day to all our friends and family members who are moms, especially if this is your FIRST MOTHERS' DAY! We have quite a few friends who have "firsts" this year...so, much love to you and congrats on the additions to your families this past year.

South Carolina

This evening saw us back home after five wonderfully restful days in South Carolina. Some very kind friends lent us their condo in Garden City Beach, where we enjoyed beautiful weather and plenty of rest.


Andre even dipped into the rather chilly sea!

One afternoon Andre lost his wedding ring in the sand. We rented a little metal detector and lo and behold...

...it was found!
