Pansy and Raymond Brooks Family
(Pansy "Pat" is the fifth child of  Jesse and Anna)

Dear Family,
 
We are doing well here except for my old age problems. That is expected.
 
Jeanette, as for as I know, there will be 10 adults and 6 children going to the reunion this year. Jeff and Shawn are not sure. The ones going are looking forward to it.  
          
Virginia had a colonoscopy on Mon. They found one polyp which was removed, and said every thing looked good.
 
Ed, Norma's husband, has had a lot of back problems again. Jeff feels like he injured it at the farm doing something for the cows. He is a little better, he says.
 
Norma and Virginia have been busy this past week helping Juanice, Raymond's sister.  They took her to the hospital and she was dangerously low on sodium. Her blood pressure was too high. She is home now, but they are still having to do things for her.  We have been trying to talk her into moving into an assisted living place.  Her doctor even suggested that she might try it. If she was there, someone would check on her, clean her apartment, and she could have all of her meals there. At least she would have a balanced diet. She got a cold while in the hospital and is fighting that.
 
I finally got to see my new great granddaughter, Sarah Marie Brooks. She is beautiful and will be a month old tomorrow.
 
Since news is scarce here, I'll sign off.
Love, Pat and Virginia

Hello all!
 
Jennifer and I are very proud to present our newest addition to the family...
Sarah Marie Brooks
Sarah was born at 8:20 this morning weighing in at 6lbs. 7ozs. 18 3/4 inches long.
Mom and baby are doing wonderful.
Ian and Dad are wondering what life with two women in the house will be like.
One of the funnier moments of the morning was when Ian was introduced to his new baby sister. "Ian, are you going to have fun with your new baby sister?"
In the most serious response a 2 year-old can give... "I hope so."
 
Thanks for all the prayers and wishes! Our God is a GREAT GOD!
 
Sincerely,
Brian and Jennifer
 

In birth order: Norma, Virginia "Dennie" and Gerald are the children of Pansy and Raymond
