Update on Bayers

Bucky is coming back to the states! He will be stationed at Ft. Campbell KY. He and his wife, Lauren, will be moving there shortly after he returns on October 10. It will be great to have him so close to home!

Bethany is having surgery on Sept. 21 to remove the brackets from her gums, some stitches in her mouth and a metal bar that has been holding her top jaw together. She had the wires removed a few weeks ago and was able to start eating soft foods. She has put a few pounds on and looks fantastic! Her face is healing well and in a few months she should be all healed and able to have her teeth fixed and cheek implants.

Benjamin is doing great in Albany at school and football. They won the first game, lost the second and won the third. Aimee and her children (Nate and Bella) and I went to the home game in Albany on Sept. 9. It was great to see Ben and his girlfriend, Rachel (who goes to school in NYC). It was fun to be at a football game again. Last year was the first year no one was playing football in my family since 1986 (approx). I missed it so much!

Chris has been able to fly home for a weekend. Beth, Britt and I were able to go over to Chris and Julie's this past Sunday and watch the Buffalo Bills demolish the Miami Dolphins! Chris is scheduled to re-deploy to Iraq sometime in March unless they are called up before then.

Jeff and his family are enjoying SC and were lucky to escape the hurricane that was supposed to hit Myrtle Beach but went up to Wilmington NC instead! They had rain but were not washed away!

Recent Birthdays: Kayla turned 8 on Aug. 3, I had my birthday on Aug. 16, Aimee turned 26 on Sept. 3, Calli turned 8 on Sept. 13, and Julie turned 27 on Sept. 18!
