As the World Turns

Our week has been a time of great love. We celebrate the birth of our sixth grandchild. Connor James Moore, Monday, July 16th at 7:29. He is a beautiful, adorable little guy and we are thrilled to have him as part of our family. His big 2 1/2 year old brother treated it as just another day in his busy life. The "big kids", Tyler 20, Kyle 18, and Katie 15, are taking this gift much more seriously. No child will have a more loving family than this dear small child. He has four grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins that will watch over him with great enthusiasm. How wonderful this experience is for all involved. In Florida, part of my family is on a vigil with my older sister. She is transitioning to a better life as I type. Unfortunately, Mary Ellen's life has not been an easy one and I am sure she will be passing to a much better place. As we observe this world, we have to accept that both life and death are part of it. Our joy for one family and our shared grief for another makes us appreciate each day we havE. Please keep Mary Ellen's family in your prayers as they watch her struggle come to An end. Celebrate with Sean and Sarah and their family. Grandma Jan
