Happy Fathers' Day Bill!!

We decided to celebrate Fathers' Day on Monday this year. We wanted to get together at the Maple Hills' pool. We had everybody there (that is still in Utah). It was so fun for Bill. He is so easy to please. We had KFC chicken and corn. The boys so love the corn on the cob on a stick. Bill just loves to be with the little ones. It was a beautiful sunny day. Our family is growing and growing. As soon as we get a new baby the one before suddenly looks like a giant. For a while Toryn had the princess spot, and now it is John. Very soon it will be Jeff and Brooke's new boy and Lindsay and Morgan's new girl. Tyler and Mariah took Toryn up to meet OZ and IZ. Everyone involved survived the visit. Bill and I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful kids, and little ones. We have a great family!! We truly do have so many blessings. You are all such wonderful parents. It is a joy to watch you.

Bill got great news today about his transplant. There was a one in six chance that Kelsey would be a match. Bill is harder to match because of his blood transfusion, BK Virus, and the first transplant. Anyway, today he got word that they are a match!! This is truly a miracle, and not a small one. Just a couple of more tests, and then we should know how the procedure will be done. Love you all....appreciate your love and concern!

We are so sad we weren't there but so excited that Kelsey and Bill are a match! That is great news! Hopefully the next few steps go by as quickly as they can!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! That was a fun party. Kate is still talking about the swimming poooool. She is such a fun little girl who is PAPA'S GIRL!!! We love you guys. And we're glad about the kidney.
(Kate LOVES to sing Cally's Ally song to Ida. It's a good thing Ida enjoyed it so much, too!)
