Dear Family and Friends,
Well, the time is here for Stuart’s procedure the day after tomorrow(Teusday the 25th). He only had to get on a blood thinner 5 days prior to the procedure, and he will stay on this for 6 months after. Again it is just done on an out patient basis with Stuart staying overnight and going home the next day. Stuart’s sister Linda will come down on Tuesday to be with us. We anticipate that everything will go smoothly. Keep us in your prayers.
We finally got out on our bikes for the past couple of days which was nice. God blessed Zachary with a bike for free. A local radio station put you name in a drawing if you put their logo on your car window. Zachary did that on Friday and a couple of hours later they called him saying he won the bike. We’d debated getting him a bike for his birthday but speakers for his drum set won out. Now he will have both. God is good.
It’s hard to believe kids are already back in school. The summer went by so quickly. We pray God blessed all of you with a great summer.
Love from us all,
Stuart, Valerie, Adrian, Zachary and Kaylona

I haven’t read this blog in awhile. I wish I had – then I would have realized you were here in Elmira. I would have loved to see you, but you probably didn’t have a lot of time and perhaps lots of people to see.
I see Stuart is having his surgery tomorrow and I will be praying all day for him, for the doctors doing the surgery and for the family. I spent a few days at Camp Hunt this a few weeks ago and it was so good to see people I haven’t seen in awhile.
I am going to be a grandmother again next spring. But this time it isn’t Katie and Andrew but Tom and his Japanese wife, Eiko. Tom lives in Japan now and I recently found out they are having their first child. They are going to give me a ticket so I can fly there and see the baby and meet Eiko’s family. They were all 4 going to come here in the spring but Eiko will be just a wee bit busy having the baby. It is a little hard for me having all my grandchildren so far away, but I now have skype and a webcam, so I can at least see and speak to them more often.
I will pray many times tomorrow and I will be waiting to hear how things turned out. I mean I will come on and read the blog – not that I expect you to email me or anything. Please don’t think I was implying that. I don’t always say things right. Anyway, God bless you all and I am just so glad things have gone as well as it has in the last year.
Love in the Lord of Lords,
Carolyn
