We are grandparents!

The babies have arrived!
Rebecca Faye Torres arrived September 22. She weighed 7 lb 14 oz and was 20 inches long.
Anne Cecilia Booton arrived November 3. She weighed 8 lb 13 oz and was 20 inches long.
They are both delightful babies -- everyone says so. Of course, their "Honey" and "Pops" would think that!

It has been too long!

Time does fly! I couldn't begin to update everything since Nov. Life is good and busy. Back in the Fall we decided to change churches after 17 years. We are thoroughly enjoying Pittsburg Church of the Nazarene; renewing old friendships and making new ones. Last week I directed VBS. It was a first for me; a challege and a blessing. God blessed and we (the church) were pleased. I'm tired! --- Don has begun a Doctor of Ministry program through Nazarene Theological Seminary. I'm excited for him. --- Seth is currently on Dr. Tom Seabourn's Race Across America support team. They left California yesterday and will arrive in Atlantic City, NJ in about 12 days. It is fun to watch the progress on the website. It is raceacrossamerica.org The team is Men's Solo #123. --- Both Julie and Melodie are pregnant!! Julie is due in Sept. and Melodie in Nov. Both husbands are excited! as are the prospective grandparents! ---- This doesn't begin to update 6 months worth of news, but a few tidbits. Until later ....
