To answer my own question… not a whole lot. That’s a good thing. We are all doing pretty good. Since there is not much going on I will just give you a few individual updates.

Roger – working the car washes daily to keep them operating the best they can. His back is still an issue for him. He has good days and bad. He has had to learn to live with a certain amount of pain. He loves playing with Kyndal when she comes over. They go out to the dock and look for fish and of course they snack together!!

Cheryl – I stay busy with a variety of things. I still teach fitness classes at the gym. I now teach 2 spinning classes and 2 abdominal boot camps per week. I really enjoy having the opportunity to do this. It is soooo much fun and basically I get paid while I work out. Not to bad of a gig!  Of course I still have my office work for the car washes that I do on a daily basis. I watch Kyndal 2 afternoons a week. It is fun to watch her grow and learn. She will repeat just about anything you say. She likes getting her nails done. That is grandma’s job. So she gets a manicure and pedicure on a pretty regular basis. It is a lot better watching her now that she is potty trained. I decided to carry on my cookie baking tradition with Kyndal this year. What a blast!

Chrissy – She is a great mom! She is a part of a mom’s group that gives her an opportunity for Kyndal to play with other kids and for Chrissy to have adult conversation. Chrissy does medical transcription from her home. That is tough because she can only do it while Kyndal is sleeping (because she has to wear headphones).Therfore, she really does not have to much free time. She would like to resume her career as a teacher, but unfortunetely the economy is making that almost impossible. The school district is having to lay teachers off here, so getting a teaching job will take the next thing to a miracle. Willie is still a firefighter here in the Cape. We are all holding our breath that is does not get cut with the new budget cuts that are coming. Chrissy also gets together with her best friend Leanna and they scrapbook together. It is so neat that they are still friends after all of these years and now they both have little ones.

Chrissy, Leanna, Kyndal and Logan

Steven -  He is going to school and has a year left. YEAH!! He will have a bachelors degree in health science and a minor in secondary education. He plans to either teach (good luck getting a job) or going into pharmaceutical sales.  He works part time at a gas station/store and he also works for Roger one day a week. He has his own home in the Cape. Him and Emily are planning a wedding for March of 2010. They decided to delay getting married until then so that Stevens two best friends will be back from Iraq. We wish them the best. Steven and Emily also think the world of Kyndal. They got her a pair of Jordans  tennis shoes for her birthday. Anytime she wears them she says they are from Uncle Bone and Emily. Bone will be 22 this month on the 18th. It’s hard to believe that my “baby” will be 22. I don’t know where the time has gone and how  or when I got old enough to have kids that are getting that old.

This picture pretty much says it all for “Uncle Bone”

Ellie – You didn’t think I would leave out our baby girl did you? She is still the best little doggie in the whole wide world. If you have any doubts about that you can just ask Roger. He said that he wouldn’t take any amount of money for her. She absolutely loves Kyndal. When Kyndal comes to our house, Ellie HAS to have a hug or kiss from Kyndal. She won’t stop until she gets it. After Kyndal gives her a  kiss she is fine. She is always close by Kyndal. She loves to see Kyndal come over but I think she is also glad to see her go home. After Kyndal leaves, ellie takes a nap!!

That’s pretty much it for now.
