I hope this gives  you an update of the Kirk family in a nut shell.....
You may have noticed that there was not a mention of J.  Well he is our Rock and supports us in all we do!  He does get to go fishing every once in a while.
We are enjoying our lake property.  Lots of boating, fishing and playing in the lake! 
Mom is still not doing well.  She has more problems than the back surgury could fix.... She tries to get out, but is not able to do alot for an extended amount of time.... She does however get on the jet skis once and a while!  Watch out if you are on Oak Creek!
