Carolyn's Birthday

This is a later addition to my post that I could not resist. A week after Carolyn's birthday as she was checking out in her favorite grocery store the clerk asked her, "Would you like to take your Senior Citizen discount?' After 28 years of marraige I am finally not that much older than my wonderful wife! I can actually say at 68 years of age that I have NOT been asked that question in a grocery store! Just for fun!

Carolyn's Birthday was another nice family day. This year the highlight was our little Sarah Colleen Porter! Grandma could not have been any happier! Of couse now she can get free checking and order from the Senior's menu. For some reason she is still 12 years younger than Grandpa. Jennifer - thank you for the wonderful lunch.

Sarah's Laser Surgery in New York

Sarah's first Laser Surgery in New York was very successful! Mom, Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma got to go too! During the surgery they used a laparascope to check her airway and found no sign of the Hemangiomas which was really good news. The next day Dr. Waner gave us a good report - the next laser surgery is scheduled for 2/13/08.

We thank our family and friends so very much for their prayers and support!
















Charlie has set up a Special Blog Site at that covers their battle with Hemangiomas in detail so others may follow their progress and understand what they have gone through since little Sarah's birth. It is an interesting story that underlines the importance of early and correct diagnosis of Hemangiomas. Their blog is dedicated to couples searching for help for their child with Hemangiomas!

Pictures of our New York trip are on our Web Albums.

Our Piper Archer II

I got back into flying after 18 years without

wings. Charlie called me when I was at

Air Adventure OshKosh 2007 to tell me

that he had decided to start training for

his Private Pilot Certificate - it brought

tears to my eyes! His instructor told

me later that he is a natural pilot.

So I have a family flying buddie! More pictures of our airplane airplane 0n our web albums.
