Carney Family Newsletter July/August

 A Day Late and a Dollar Short

Sorry to be so late with the newsletter but I decided to combined July and August.....so let's get on with the latest.  We have had some extreme weather lately with sweltering heat in Kansas and South Carolina and rain and flooding in Michigan. Looking forward to a visit with Emma this month and I hope to see Liam too before he goes back to school. Emma is moving (again) to a new apartment, new roommate and a new kitten.  John is making a career change. He has worked at that restaurant for over 10 years....since he was14..... time for a change. Will keep you updated. Mike is traveling to Virginia for a retirement party (hope for some pics as the Commandant of the Marine Corp will be there) and also a wedding in Texas of their friend's daughter. Tim has another up north golf outing planned. I am hoping for an October visit from Amy and John. Lots of things to look forward to.




Happy Birthday Mike

Happy Birthday Sean

A very happy birthday to you two guys....hope you had a great one!

Twin, wishing you a uneventful recovery. My Mom always told me when I was growing up that  a girl had to suffer to be beautiful. I often wonder about that. Anyway, I think that you are beautiful already.
