Well I was surfing in our class notes this evening at 1am while my house sleeps and I noticed that none of the 86ers have done any updating since 2007. So although I admit I too have been a little busy in 2007, I cannot let it slip by without giving it and all of you thanks. Thank you. Thank every single one of you who has held out a hand for me and my family this year. Your hands, your prayers, your letters, your hope were the floor I used to walk on in 2007. And although I am growing back my hair and my strength is seeping back into my bones - I know that the new life I have now is built from the fabric of my old life woven back together by the strength and spirit of all you angels in my life who flew to my aid to help stitch me back up. I am eternally grateful and forever changed from the experience and the amazing grace I received from all you angels - the seamstresses in my life. Thanks. love - kts. (12/07)

Figured I might as well do an update since it has been a bit. I was reminded to do this by Colleen Sheehey who was also kind enough to share the sad news about Katie's illness. We will keep Katie in our prayers as she goes through this rough time.  Well... I have three girls, Hayley (10 1/2), Heather (7 1/2) and Grace almost 4. They keep me extremely busy. I am a stay at home mom for now until Grace starts full day Kindergarten in two years. The girls all play sports. Hayley is a soccer player through and through. She wants to play for Anson Dorrance at UNC and I wouldn't be surprised if she does. However, she wants to be a chef too. So, we travel all over the country with her elite team playing in tournaments. She also ski races and plays basketball. Heather is also a soccer player and loves it. She is not as determined as Hayley which is a good thing!! However, she is really good at both soccer and Lacrosse and ski's on the side. Grace is just bossy and big. She towers above all the kids at preschool. She plays soccer on Thursday's because "I can do what my sister's do but better"..  Anyway, we travel a lot to Florida and anywhere else there is a soccer tournament, along with going to the Cape every summer. Bill's law business keeps us here in Rochester until we retire. So... travel we must. Hope everyone enjoys the new year. Keep Katie in your prayers!!! (02/07)
