Mason, one year old
Mason celebrated his 1st birthday in the hospital on September 17th.  This little guy has spent more time than not in hospitals.  Most recently, he was taken by helicopter to Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth, TX on September 30th because of a brain hemorrhage.  He is still waiting to get into St. Jude's Hospital in Memphis, TN for a bone marrow transplant to eliminate the health problems caused by the Waikott-Aldrich Syndrome.  Your continued thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

Jeffery on his way to new adventures
While Jeffery enjoys his days in first grade, Bethan and Laura keep busy with Together Time playgroup, Kindermusik classes, swim lessons, and errands.  Ron has been traveling lots for work but took time to enjoy the new movie "THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED" about Francis Ouimet, and looks forward to the release of the new WALLACE AND GROMIT movie.
