Nice Picnic!

Well the "coming out picnic" for Kate is now history. The weather cooperated and we had a blast. There was plenty of food and 26 people in all (three of whom were children). Thanks to John and BJ for cooking the burgers and dogs and to everyone else who brought delicious side dishes and desserts. Dee's pulled pork went over very well. (We decided not to have chicken.) We even had halushki and cheese cake! Our friends from our very first church, Mooncrest Community Baptist Church, Chuck and Betty Werme, were able to come and meet Kate. (Betty had saved a newspaper photo of 34 years ago when it published a photo of me, Dee and a brand new baby named, Kerri. She recently sent it to Kerri and we thought it would be nice for Kerri to meet the Wermes.) Here is a picture of Kate in her debut dress. Also one of Kerri holding her in a "wrap", and of Grandma Dee with Kate.

Our visit with the Julians went very well. Kate slept well doing her regular feedings on time. We never even heard her during the night. And when we went to church and out to eat, she just snoozed away. Folks at Church were happy to see her.

I started back to work at Treesdale and worked a few hours on Saturday and on Memorial Day (after the Julians left for VA.) The weather was sunny buy not real hot, which made of a nice afternoon of riding in the golf cart and watching people golf, and picking up a few lost golf balls.
