Our Mom's

Since the beginning of September, we have had several difficult weeks dealing with the trials both of Brooks' grandmothers have faced. We serve a very good Lord who is taking care of them both. We just wanted them to know how much they are loved and how thankful we are that everything is going to be ok. Bryan's mom, Karen, received very good news yesterday that the cancer had not spread, which we are SOOO thankful for. My mom, Babs, went home from the hospital today for the third time in one month since her stroke. Hopefully, the doctors have found the right meds for her and she is on the road to recovery!! Keep gaining strength Babsie.

Happy 60th B-day Poppa

My dad, Poppa, turned 60 on September 6th and we wanted to wish him a belated Happy Blog Birthday!! We love you so much Dad...This is a picture of Brooksie bear and his Poppa out to dinner one evening. You'll notice they are up walking around and not quietly seated at the table enjoying dinner. That seems to be the norm now-a-days!! :)



Trip to Cannon Beach, Oregon

Bryan and I took a trip to CB the first of August for my 30th b-day...I haven't posted in a long time. Seems like our lives have been a roller coaster since the first of September and I actually have some time to blog. CB is a cute little beachy town on the coast of Oregon and it is beautiful there. We had such a great time just the two of us. We stayed at the Surf Sand Resort which was really great. Each night the cabanna guys would make a bonfire on the beach for us and we'd roast smores...it was so wonderful. We ate lots of yummy seafood and shopped a little, mostly rested and relaxed on the beach. It was nice to be away from Brooks for a few nights. Mom came up to keep him for us. Haystack Rock is what CB is known and is a sanctuary for rare species of birds. We weren't really interested in the birds, but it was pretty to look at. Great time away for us!! If you have never vacationed in the Pacific Northwest, I would encourage you to do so one day. There is so much to do here.
