Kitty Sanders King '72 and Deborah Carter Sanders ' 74 (along with spouses and others) are going to Israel March 12. Two of Kitty's brothers are also going.

Jeffrey and Rosie King (son of Charles and Kitty) are expecting a baby July 16. They are excited. This is the first and Kitty is already 58! We have a "Jude" and "Titus" and "Able" among friends, so Kitty has told Jeffrey they will need to name theirs "Philemon". (or Philomena).

Rosie received one of 2 educational awards in Mississippi. The McMIlan foundation gives these out, and she will received $25000.00. Jeffrey is a loan officer at Bank of Holly Springs.

Robin's husband, David Cole, graduated from Mid-America Seminary December 12, 2008. He received an award in the missiology field. He teaches an Hispanice Bible study on Wednesday nights.
Robin works at Ozark Motor Line. She just finished an Evangelism Explosion class as one of the prep courses for applying with the International Mission Board as carrer missionaries.

Dick and Deborah Sanders are staying well. Dick had an emergency appendectomy in October. Their 32 year old son Adam had an emergency appendectomy in December! David and Kurt should ask for a group rate and just have theirs out. David is 21 and engaged to SarahJane Butler. The wedding is set for June, 2009. Everyone one the family loves her.

Kurt and Emily's younger son, Cade, is 21 months old. He is basically doing well, but they have to deal with his DiGeorge Syndrome. This is a condition in which genetic material is missing from the 22nd chromosone. It has caused him heart, breathing, aspiration, overactivity, growth and speech problems. But he is the cutest little red-haired brown-eyed boy.
He can't say many words, but he's as sharp as a tack. He can wear a weighted vest for an hour and it calms him down for several hours. He climbs everthing and one day he was swinging from the kitchen ceiling light! Walker, 4, is their other son. He loves rodes and riding.

Adam and Tabatha have three boys 2-10, Carter, Lee, and Able that keep them busy.

Connecting

Isn't it wonderful to connect with old friends (and I use that term loosely)! If you can't figure out how to comment or write your own "note" on this blog, just email me and I will be glad to put it on there for you. I'm so excited to see so many of you reconnecting. If you know of other BMC cutie pies that you would like for me to contact concerning this blog or the newsletter I send out, just send me their info. I'll be glad to get in touch with them!
