Dear friends and family: this post will contain mostly pictures of Joy. She's doing fine.  Our next-door neighbors Martin and Mary had a  baby a month or so ago and they came for a visit on their first anniversary, April 24th.  Joy and I had gone to their wedding last year which was held in their yard. 

Joy just loved seeing the baby.  The following are picture of Joy interacting with their baby girl Harper on the day they visited: 

As you can tell, she was thrilled with seeing the baby.  Her love of children remains as strong as it ever was.  The smile never left her face. 

Love to you all, 

Doug and Joy
