Update on the Elliotts...Last weekend was really busy for us. Saturday, we drove to Davis to Smokin Joes BBQ for Patrick's 5th birthday party. It was really fun to be back with them for the celebration. We ate wonderful bbq and the kids go to play in a little kiddie pool and slide down some mega slip-n-slides. So they had a ball and were covered in grass! Sunday, we made a whirlwind trip up to OKC to go with Carolyn and Jared to take Bill out to lunch for Father's Day. Bill looked so pleased and happy to be out of the hospital and surrounded by loved ones. Julia sat next to him at lunch and just patted on his arm and hugged him. Jacob enjoyed pushing him around in his wheelchair. They were very sweet together. I have a lot of pictures to post for alas, my USB cable is packed in the POD so it will have to wait. John is commuting back and forth to NY to fly until he get assigned back to DFW. But it is still good to be back in OK and TX.

My mom is recovering from hernia surgery but as soon as she is feeling perkier, we are going to head down to Dallas for a few days to visit Ma Mere and Pa Pere. The kids can hardly wait to see them, the dogs, and splash around in the pool. Even I am looking forward to pool time with all this unaccustomed heat and humidity. Ha!
