Happy New Year!

No one has posted to this blog in almost a year. I hope everyone has had a wonderful 2010. The weekend of July 4th, we celebrated Dad's 80th birthday and Mom and Dad's 60th wedding anniversary. We took this picture at the reception. It was so much fun having so many of us there together. All the kids were there and almost all the grandchildren. We realized again how much we love being together and wondered why we wait so long to do it. Kelley and I celebrated our 40th anniversary with a cruise to the eastern Carribean. We also made time to go camping in Chama, New Mexico. We even rode the train! I am still teaching Kindergarten, and I love it most of the time. Kelley is retired and has his own painting business going. All our kids came home for Christmas this year. We had 8 adults and 7 children here. It was so much fun. We had "camp out" with Memaw and Papa in the camper Thursday night. I think we may have started a tradition. We ended this year together being thankful for family and the love we share. We are so thankful for the faith that binds us all together. Looking forward to hearing from some of you soon. Hope we get to see you before too long. Wishing you all a happy 2011! Kelley and Karen

Here's a picture of me with my 3 girls. L-R: Deondra, Devonne, Dorena, Nona.

Hope everyone is doing well and having a good start to the New Year.

Love to all.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone has a healthy, blessed 2010, and I hope we can stay connected. Family is one of God's gifts, and I am so thankful for each of you. Stay in touch. Have a wonderful 2010. (Can you believe it is really 2010?) Love, Karen and Kelley

Merry Christmas! It's been a busy time for us as I'm sure it has been for all of you. We all met at Korey's house for Thanksgiving this year. We had 8 adults and 7 children-6 and under. It was so much fun to be together. It reminded me of when we all met at Mom's with all our kids when they were little. That was before Janet had kids, and we still had 8 adults and 7 or 8 kids! We had Christmas with Kayci and Keith's families as well. We plan to go back to Korey and Amy's for Christmas. Mom and Dad are going too. It should be a little calmer this time. Praise God for healthy, active. loving families! We are so blessed! Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! Love, karen

We wish a precious Christmas and a richly blessed 2010 to all the "Burr Connection." Our Christmas photo with grandkids: Eli (almost 2), Dylan (6-1/2), and John David (8 months).

We love you all,

Paula and Dave

I say...Thanks to God from whom all blessings continue to flow...Patriece, I have been praying for your healing and trusting.......didn't realize I hadn't seen the blog for over a month....checked in this morning......Bless your heart!
From the beginning I didn't know any words in prayer for you because I knew you were in His will and that He was caring for you better than we could think to ask, so I just kept lifting you up.
I'm sure your sweet mother and daddy feel more blessed than any of us in your good news.

I saw Daddy last weekend, he is much better. He and Poncho had a good day at the ranch, he looks so much better.

Thanks to you who keep up with the blog....for Christmas I would like Monte to participate!!!
And I mean it.....you too, Suzi.

Update from Patriece

Here's an update from Patriece that she wrote to us this morning and said we could share:

I went to Dr. Block (medical, not naturapathic) in Tulsa yesterday. He was very pleased with how well I am doing. To have decreased my pain meds, to look good, and to be in almost no pain is miraculous and certainly not the norm. He praised the Lord, and so did we!! My chest x-rays showed improvement also and he said, "I believe the Lord is healing you." That is awesome to hear a doctor say that. He is working to adjust my supplements when he gets the blood report back. He also adjusted the hormone cream. :) The older chiropractor who was instrumental in getting my CT scan and was the first person to give me that particular report thought it was reasonable to think that I would not be around by this time of the year (3 months). Needless to say, last evening I went on a praise walk north of the house, but I find that words or "a million angels cannot express my gratitude" to Jesus. The doc said he was praying and knew others were, too. I said "yes!" That would be YOU!----Thanks for your prayers!!!--We all know this is "OUR God in whom we trust", doing this! It was nice (very unusual) when a doctor recognized that fact also.
Pray for Olivia (Trevor's 13-month-old). She has the swine flu. Diagnosed yesterday.

We are rejoicing in this encouraging news and trusting God completely!
