Hey everybody.....Thanks Maw and Jill again for the special gifts. I love them both so much.

Aunt Peg and Judy, can't wait until next week. I got to get with you sometime this week and get all excited about coming there. I'm so happy for you and Judy. Also, to Judy, I am keeping you in my thoughts as I know losing a loved one is very hard no matter how long it's been. Carol passing away on August 1st is tough for Aunt Peg. I'm glad that you are there for each other.

It's been a really tough year for Maw. Can't imagine losing my husband, my sister and my son in the same year. Maw you have stayed strong through it all. We love you very much and miss you all the time.

Jared and Betsy.....congratulations. I'm so excited about being an uncle again. Can't wait.

Mom has had a tough time to battling with work like when she will work from home, trying to sell her house and just dealing without Dad here. She has been so strong too. I love her so much and don't know what I would do without her.

April and Zac got their car found and was able to work a deal for them to get a car that was not totally trashed out with drug paraphenalia, women's wigs....Crazy stuff...I'm just glad they got that worked out and they are safe. If anyone messed with them or anybody else in the family, I would hunt them down!!! Sorry, it's the big brother in me.

Aunt Kittie, how's your crew. How's Megan feeling? I'm so excited for her too. She will make a great mommy. Speaking of mommy's, hows that Maggie and Maddie. Maddie is so precious. Boston is looking so big and grownup. I know he is proud of little sis. HOw's Gary Dale?

Aunt Susan and Gary Lee.....It was really good seeing Gary and Brandon a couple of weeks ago. I am so excited about see Gary's crew in Florida this week. Stormy is getting so big too. She is a precious mini-Jill. Now if she gets her mommy's laugh too, then that would be awesome. I love Jill's laugh. Can't wait to hear it. James Lee and Shavonne, it was good seeing you too and that little handsome Brock. Man his hair getting dark and he looks so good. Can't deny he's a Gowens. James and Shavonne you two looked great too.

Well....guess that's it for now. Love you, Bear
