Houston Hill & Croft Connor

Oct.3rd was Houston's 30th and his nephew Croft's 1st birthday. We celebrated in Austin! Love to all the family, Deb

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. These past couple of weeks have just been full of too many activities. As you know, my half-brother Jay passed away on October 26. The next day Ronnie had gall bladder surgery. Since he was unable to go, just Kay and I flew to Lafayette for Jay's memorial. My boss from American showed up at the airport to go with us. She said that she felt bad since Ronnie couldn't go and she just wanted to be supportive. That's the kind of group I work with---they are all just so kind.

Ronnie is so much better now and another birthday has passed for me, so we're content with that. Oh, and if you haven't heard, we are going to be grandparents!!!!! One worry though is that our daughter-in-law Jenni had some tests two weeks ago and just found out that she has a 1 in 73 chance of the baby having Downs. Of course, I've worried about it ever since we heard as have all of the family. Now that a little time has passed, Jenni has had some time to read and do some research. She's found that the type of test she had often shows a fairly high risk (normal is 1 in 2,000). Despite that, she has an amnio scheduled for November 24. Please pray for a normal healthy baby. The amnio should be 100% definitive.

Love all you guys, Martha

STUFF!!!!!

Well, I guess you all have read Keri's blog! I really have to start getting rid of things - I can give a lot of the historical and geneology stuff (there's that word again) to the museum at the old Post Office BUT there may be personal stuff (?) of Granny's and Granddaddy's or Lala's or YOUR Dad's stuff. Lots of pictures and a big steel filing cabinet. I can't take these things with me. And I am not physically able to get all the stuff from under the beds. Also I have some steel shelving inthe laundry room and I'd be glad for someone to have. And I would need help getting the things to the museum. I really don't want to go to ND until after the kids have been there a year (that's the lease on their townhouse) and they would like to get a house big enough for me to live with them (yes, that's what BOTH of them said). I hope to sell the house to someone to "flip" - I can't afford the repairs that are needed. And it is a big lot so 2 rooms or more could be added to the back. Anyway, any time any of you can come down to help it will be appreciated. Maybe the Dowdles will be able to come since John has had his hip replaced and Bula's shingles are better and I know they want to see us and we want to see them. And wouldn't it be nice to gather without it being for a funeral!! AMEN TO THAT!!! You all talk among yourselves and think about poor ole Jody (sob) and all that STUFF!! LOL Love you all, Jody

Help for my Moma please

As you all know, Mom is going to plan to move to North Dakota sometime within a year or so. In that time, she's got to get the house clear of crud, crap and junk. We do know that Nana has some historical or hysterical things that some of you may want to check out.

So, when you have time, or can make the time, head over to Graham and help Mom out.

Engagement Announcement

Dear Cousins,
I was reading in bed last night when I got a text message from Rachel which said "R U awake?" I was replying (I don't have a keyboard, so it's 'w-x-Y d-E p-q-r-S') when I got a text from Nathan that read "She said YES". He had asked Randi to marry him and she agreed to join our family.
We are all so excited. They have been together for several years now and are precious together.
Next time you see them, ask to see the ring. It's my Nana's engagement ring that was repaired and cleaned up just for this event.
I can't wait till you get to meet my first daughter-in-law.
Candy
