In memoriam of F

Joan "F" Speich

1925 - 2008

Last Wednesday, June 4th, Susan Kate's Great Grandmother, Joan "F" Speich, passed away in Lubbock, TX. She was Mimi's mom, and a very special person to SKB's dad. We had her funeral in Brownwood on Saturday and she was laid to rest next to her beloved husband, John, in Early, TX.

All our family was there, including all seven grandchildren and all three great grndchildren and although we were all sad, we have a great deal of comfort and joy knowing that F is no longer suffering and that she is now in Heaven with Our Lord Jesus.

We had the opportunity to spend a little bit of time with her a couple of weeks ago, and here are a couple pictures from then. We were blessed to have F as a guiding light and a wonderful mom, grandmother and great grandmother in our family.

Daddy's four favorite women.

Ballons & Pigtails

The nice lady at the Nordstroms children's shoe department gave Susan Kate a pink balloon. She carried it all around North Park and then played with it all afternoon at home. As you can see the static from the balloon is making her hair stand straight up! Which leads to the next picture...SKB's hair is getting so long, she came home from school the other day with a pony tail. The next day, she came home with pigtails. I tried to snap a few pictures but she was not very cooperative. Here are the results:

Friends & Family

Kim had us over for breakfast this past weekend. We had a really nice time playing with all of Clete's toys (see the pliers below). It was nice to get together with the girls!
SKB met Cousin Pam's new chocolate lab, Abby. As you can see SKB is not afraid of "puppas" as she calls them!
