September 22

Joe Ramsey and Karla had a baby boy this morning.  John Amon and he was a big one.  Nine lbs something..but not as big as his big brother was.  Carol says all is well so I'll just have to wait to hear when I can go see them.  A new life.   Amazing.

I thought Emily was coming this weekend, but she had applied to be in a campus leadership program and was accepted for that and they are having a retreat this weekend, so maybe some other time.  She's going home the next weekend, and her sister Caroline will be so happy to see her.  So that is good.  And Matt and his friends are coming to San Antonio, but they aren't staying with us.  They are just going to the wedding, playing golf, and going back.  But Mandy  (Mikie's ex)is coming and bringing two of her sisters.  They will be on their own tho, I already told her we won't be around.  I am not looking forward to this but what do you do.

Carrie told me today that some boys at school have been bothering Caroline, just talking ugly, talking about sex, talking about smoking dope, just cussing and being crappy little 8th graders.  She is so sweet and doesn't want to get anybody in trouble.  But two other girls heard them ask her if she was pregnant and it made her cry.  She isn't even big, but it's something all teenage girls worry about.  So, the other girls told on them and they are now in trouble, so hopefully they will leave her alone, and start acting better.  It makes me so sad for Caroline, because she is so sweet and just beautiful and talented.  So I am still hurting for her, because she is hurting.  But Carrie says it is ok and Caroline is fine.  I hope so.  I love her.

I'm sad.  I'm going to bed.
