End Of The Road....

Hello Friends,
It has been awhile since anything has been posted on this blog. It is an amazing story of the adoption of Emma Reese Keller and the life we lived for ten years. I think anyone reading this knows Cathy passed away from Ovarian Cancer on July 3, 2018. She fought a courageous battle with grace and strength until the very end. I am honored to have spent 22 years of my life with her. She was an amazing Mom, Wife, Daughter, Grammy, In-Law, Sister, Cousin, Aunt, and Friend. This post closes out the blog. Rest In Peace Sweet Cathy, you are missed.

New York City 2017

We had a great family trip to NYC over the Thanksgiving Holiday! Abby and Kylie came from Idaho and Candice met us there after she got back from her trip to Japan. We did all the standard NYC things and went to the Christmas Show at Radio City Music Hall. It was a fun week!

Ballroom Dancing!

Emma and her partner Bennett are representing

their school, James L. Dennis Elementary

in ballroom dancing competition. Here is the

exhibition where they performed The Salsa!

Disneyland

This past weekend, Emma and I did a whirlwind trip to Disneyland, The weekend before I took a trip to Massachusetts to see my friend Brian and go to the Red Sox game. Both were exhausting, but we had a blast!

I am a terrible Blogger.....

Have not posted anything since February. Boo......

OK, here's a weak attempt at a 2017 update. Summer is almost over, we have survived another crazy pool season. Cathy retired in May, but took a job teaching Pre-AP Geometry 6 hours a week. She has been in chemotherapy again, but is doing pretty well. Emma finished 4th grade at James L. Dennis Elementary and has started 5th grade. Her last year in elementary school. I started year 29, and this will be my last rodeo. I am retiring at the end of the 2017-18 school year. We are doing pretty well, staying positive and enjoying life one day at a time. As always we appreciate the prayers and support.

Early 2017 Update

 

Hello Friends, lots of stuff since we last posted. Christmas was awesome and included a trip to Disneyland with Abby, Kelly, Kylie, and Austin. Cathy and I traveled to Chicago as well and in January we visited the kids in Idaho. Emma has had a few cheer competitions in between. The school year has been going well and Cathy is retiring at the end of the year! Most importantly, Cathy has remained cancer free through the last two CT scans! We thank God for blessing us with this good news! We love fall and winter, but are looking forward to our annual trip to Maui in March! Thank you everyone for your prayers and support!
