August 2012
We lost Mom on the 17th, just past her 89th birthday. She had many visits before she passed from her children, Pixie, Roger, Carl, Sue and I, as well as visits with her grand-children and great-grandchildren. It was tough to lose our Mom, but she is in a better place and watches over all of us with her wisdom and spirit.
Our family also gathered to do a yard/garage sale for a few days, a week after Mom passed. Sue was still there from Alaska, Kathy still from Canada, Bonnie and I from Palm Desert and Pixie and Joel from Hemet who live near Mom.
Here is Mom's final resting place, just as she wanted it. We all love you, Mom.

I am feeling a bit older. No wonder......
I am still in complete remission for over 5 years and no treatment for over 2 years.
However, I had radiation, chemo and 3 major surgeries for colon cancer in the past year. Adjuvant chemo from Feb.-June 2009. Oncologist says and the PET/CT scan and all tests show me in complete remission and no further treatment required.
Bighorn Radiation Oncology Center-Rancho Mirage, Ca.
Here is my August 2008 graduation photo with some of the radiation oncology technicians after 30 treatments. They all received a nice bottle of wine each and a huge carrot cake decorated to thank them for the caring , professional experience.
I thought a colorful outfit on my last day was called for. It is brighter than shown in the photo. Heck, I always make things fun..........

Twins are over 2 years old now. Amazing. Eric III (on left) is first grandson
and Caitlyn is 5th granddaughter. They both are a delight.

New Additions to the Vogt Family
January 2008
The twins are here and running things rather well. Eric III and Caitlyn arrived on Dec. 1. We had a learning curve with their parents to adjust to their every need! Their sisters, Annika and Kierstin are a big help and we go over to their home in Temecula to help often.

Haley will be 16 in Feb. and is driving very well with her learners permit.

Grandpa and Haley taking a ride with Grandpa's Christmas toy to deliver grapefruit and oranges to our neighborhood friends.

Granddaughter Annika has really grown. She is in pre-school and will be 5 in February. Her older sister Kierstin, her cousins Haley and Hannah also have February birthdays!
We just came home from sharing a wonderful Thanksgiving with them. We will be going back Monday for the delivery of the twins. Exciting times.

Hannah is very talented, especially with her art projects. She is a straight A student this semester and is doing very well in her first year in junior high.
Her older sister Haley is now driving with
a permit and only with direct adult supervision. She is also a straight A student in her sophomore year in high school. Haley is very involved with varsity football cheerleading team.
Mike, Pam, Haley and Hannah have a Colorado River vacation home for their party boat and quads. We enjoy the time we spend with them there. It is 20 miles north of Yuma, AZ.
I am still in remission after 4 years since tandem auto stem cell transplants. I was on a low dose maintenance but stopped altogether last summer. I get full testing every month to monitor trends with my oncologist.
Life is spectacular and full of promise. My wife Bonnie and I enjoy each day and all it brings to us.

Del Mar, our favorite place to go for summer and fall vacations.
