A Long, lost Post! Summer of Fun!

It has been a long time since I posted, and I'm sorry!  It's been an eventful summer and I have meant to post many times but I have always had an excuse.  But not now.  Since April we have had lots of company, that was welcome!  First Amy and her kids came up for a week or so, then Emily and her kids came for about 3 weeks with Matt for the final 5 days, then David and his family came and stayed for 10 days on their way across country to his new assignment at the Pentagon.
Health wise, I have been doing very well.  We had a little scare early in July, but the MRI was clear.  I just think my body is rebelling against all the chemo and other drugs that I have to take.  Last month I had a great time health wise and was able to do some things I haven't done lately.  Roma has been busy working, and taking care of me.  She is a rock and I couldn't do it without her.  We have another grandchild due in December!  Nate and Shelly are having a girl. That will make our 19th.  It's surprising what we started 41 yrs. ago.  We are sure pleased with the result.  
Hopefully my health will allow us to have many more adventures in the Fall and Winter.  
Thanks for all your prayers and friendship.  I am humbled by the outpouring of love for us. We pray you for all too and love you. Sorry about the randomness of the pictures, I haven't figured out how to easily get them in order!  Enjoy!
