graduate in May. Their plans are to move to Alaska where Keanon will serve in an intern position for 2 years. Thank God for phones, internet, and apps on phone like MarcoPolo. We are able to see Chloe sing her ABC's, Eva says new words and Sammy smiling and cooing.

WE WENT ON A TWO-WEEK VACATION! We camped out most of the time. We found some really nice Campgrounds. We went to the St Louis Arch and went to the top. We stopped at Casey, Illinois and saw the biggest wind chimes, rocking chair, mail box, and other things. We went to the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. We stopped at Six Flags and rode a lot of rollercoasters, a Ferris Wheel and other rides. We ended our trip in Branson where we saw an illusionist and the Haygood Family Music Concert. It was a fun trip. We also spent time with the Ruggles Cousins in Kentucky and saw some old friends. Also this year Veva was able to hang out with the Adams Cousins while they |
| celebrated their Aunt and Uncles life. It was great seeing cousins.

| WE HAVE A SON WHO RUNS! Peter just ran his first half marathon after having knee surgery. He continues to live in Lawrence and working as a chemist.

 |
| WE HAD TO HELP OUT VEVA SINCE SHE HAD FOOT SURGERY IN AUGUST! It has been a long healing process. She has had a splint for 2 weeks, a cast for 4 weeks, a walking boot for 4 weeks and last physical therapy for 6 weeks. It has limited her from doing things around the house and driving the kids around to their school and activities. Our family had to really step up and do a lot of things that she normally did or it was just left undone.
