Tommy’s Daughter Meets Him
Administrator’s note — In pulling this over from the old site I lost who wrote this. I believe it was either Angela or Buffy. Perhaps someone can set me straight.
I was luck
y to be blessed with two of the most amazing women in the world as Grandmothers! Unfortunately, in November 2004, I lost the first one and that was one the most devastating blows I thought I would ever suffer. That was until March 2008 when I lost the other one.

Reunion, post Reunion, etc.
That was controlled chaos, wasn’t it?!
Carr Sister #8, Juanita Rush, who stayed in the lodge itself (not the Bunkhouse), said the clerk told her during her check-out that the Carr Family Reunion was the best organized reunion they had seen this year.

We can post the invitation there and ask that anyone who plans to go notify you directly.

It’s going to be a girl
YEA we had our ultrasound today and we found out that little baby is a Girl. We are so happy and excited. Due date is still February 28.
Ethan was sad, he said he wanted a boy 🙂 that was cute. He will be ok I think when she is born 🙂
We are going to name her Addison Hope Mattey. The ‘hope” is for my granny who is being so very brave and fighting cancer, a battle that she will definitely win 🙂 We love you all and can’t wait to see you in the USA in a few weeks.
take care!!!!
