The Kids and their Kids















Most of you know that our youngest daughter, Kimberly got married November 8, 2008 to Chris Purdy in Victoria, Texas. We could not be happier with her choice of husbands and I am proud to say that Chris is my favorite son-in -law in Victoria. We got a great big blessing when Kimberly and Chris married, we not only got Chris we inherited a beautiful new grand daughter, Lauren ( Chris' daughter) and a new GREAT grandson , Carson, and a grandson , Marshall, (Chris' son). We are so happy to have them as part of our family. When Kimberly moved to Victoria we joked about her going there to find her daddy's roots. Little did we know, that is exactly what she did. Chris' stepdad and Kenneth went to school together and knew one another 55 years ago. His parents know all of Ken's family and his grandparents lived about 3 houses away from Ken's grandparents. It is truly a small world.








Melissa and Richard and doing well in Houston. Their beautiful daughter, Layla, is keeping them on the go. She is running full speed and beginning to talk and has just finished cutting 8 teeth at one time. She had her eighteen month checkup today and was average in height but only in the 20 % for weight. Go figure ...her momma is so small and Richard is not a tall person either and her granny, Medina was shorter than Melissa. We were very saddened on New Years Day by the loss of Richard's beloved mother, Medina. Please keep them and the family in your prayers.




Michele and Brad are moving ahead. Michele is back in school and is on track to do her student teaching Spring of 2011. We are very proud of her and she is doing a great job with all of her classes. She will receive her degree from Texas A&M Kingsville. Ethan will be 13 in July and doing well in school this year (6th grade, I can't believe it). Paige is a dancin' fool. She loves her dance with Miss Jennifer at Dorothy Keck Dancers. She will go to preschool next Sept. She is excited about that as well.
