Well, we are moving along. It is time to catch up on things and ideas and feelings and to once again give thanks for the Lord's hand which is indeed reaching forth to bless every member of the family.

Little Donovan is now several weeks old. Here are some wonderful pictures!!

Too cute. Jan ran out for one day. She couldn't stand not seeing him, so....Here are some of the pictures of that great first meeting. He is giving Grammy the eye, isn't he? Jan and I will go to Arizonaa at a TBD time and visit longer, probably in June when he is blessed. Donovan is the first Shipley Grandson and will thus have the privilege of carrying on the family name.

To the current time, Jan and I are in Tennessee assuming parental unit duties whilst Jamie and Anita are off to the Smokey Mountains of Eastern Tennessee rehoneymooning for their 10th wedding anniversary. Wow!! Can it be possible?
