Summer 2011

August was a very, very busy month for us.  Not only did Brayana and I have our mad dash across the country - but Keith visited April and arrived back in Coos Bay on the 7th.  His flight into North Bend was only 5 or 6 hours late - it is terrible trying to fly via San Francisco!  I long for the days that we just flew into Portland and then on down!  We very seldom ever had the problems that there seems to be on a daily basis!  But - oh well, I guess the powers that be (the Airport Council - or whatever they are called ) know much more than I do - so I'll leave that at that! :)

So, Naner and I got back, the rest of the family arrived on Friday - to turn around on Saturday and go over to the Dully family reunion.  The Dully's are S'te's Grandma Jean's family.  There were 11of the 12 children that grew to be adults - so you can just imagine how many showed for the reunion!  Here are some of the pictures she took (they are on her Facebook page).  Here are my favorites tho!

From the recounts of the day - I think that they all had a great time... and in case you can't tell by the photos - Gma Jean's color was lavender.  Each of them were assigned a color - and to most of the men's chagrin - it was lavender.  I think it looks good!  I love lavender!!

But on to the best part of getting home...  Our addition was finished.  Well, maybe not completely done!  But so close!  And it looks so great! Here is the before:

to this!

It took a lot of hard work and effort and I can't thank Brayana and Jaleel enough for coming down and helping so much!  Rod and S'te brought the rest of the family and worked really really hard on it too!  And I think it looks nice!
