Pregnancy and Pickleball

 In July, we returned to Smith Mountain Lake and it was a fun time with family. In August, my sister and I headed to Delaware to be with our sister, Kathy. She was hospitalized with stomach issues and they found that she had cancer. This would be our last time with her and I’m so grateful for the time with her. It was filled with laughs and sister jokes. I miss my funny and music loving sister, but I know she’s safely with my mom and dad.


I had my fifth breast surgery and this time it was a revision surgery. Things went well. 

John loves pickleball and has improved so much in such a short amount of time.
