While at Prairie our second daughter was hit by a car and recieved a serious brain injury and to this day remains quite handicapped although she can walk and talk and is sure a part of the family.Tianna married in 2004 to Luke Riemer and lives in Summerland, and gave us our first grand daughter Danai Kirbey on Oct 26/06.

Hi Swabeys - so, what a thrill to hear your voices this morning. There were a few misty eyes, for sure - it was so good to hear you. Sorry I missed the office call the other day. Jack is sure looking forward to coming. Love you guys and you are in our prayers.
Yes, it was such a treat to hear your voices on Sunday! You have no idea just how much you are missed!!
Tell TaLeah we can't wait to hear her play the guitar! I'm sure she'll be playing some "John Bon" in no time!
Can so relate to the piano story...hence the White's piano in our livng room.
Still checking the Blog regularly...love hearing what you are all up to.
Hi Swabeys; so great to follow along & "hear" & "see" what's up with you. Mongo looks cute; girls seem to be fitting into Irish life easily.
Apple season is upon us & BOb of course is in the thick of it. Me just delivering coffee & goodies at appropriate times. You're missed & in our prayers.
Love, The Browns
