We had such a wonderful time in St. Louis, a big thank you to Ansley and TJ, for letting us stay at TJ's grandparents home. It was a blast. Dale and Shirlene Bunnell (TJ's grandparents) are serving a mission in the Philippines and TJ and Ansley are living in their home. We so appreciate it that we were able to all stay there for the Christmas Holiday. It is a warm, wonderful home....and we were all very comfortable. Thank you to Dale and Shirlene also......

With seven small children we mostly stayed home but ventured out a few times. Of course when we got there, shopping was the big adventure since baggage is such a big expense when you are flying...We did go out to dinner on Christmas Eve but never made it to the traditional Christmas Eve movie. After Ryan and his family made it to St. Louis, the Sunday morning after Christmas, (after driving all night) We visited the St. Louis Arch and Museum, on Monday and the Magic House on Tuesday...A big Thank You to Spencer and Nikki for helping out with the cost of food and everyone else for the meals they bought and prepared....

It all worked out so well, everyone worked together and got along and Carver never stood still, if all the pictures of him look like he is moving it is because he is always moving....He is a bundle of energy....

Robert Hospital stay and family....

In October 2009, Robert had a very scary thing happen....He had a stroke, he didn't tell me about it for 3 days...he was hoping things would just get better...When they didn't he finally told me and we went to the ER at EIMC...he ended up staying for 4 full days....They ran a lot of tests and found a hole in his heart probably there from birth...They repaired it on Thursday and he went home on Thursday night then took a trip with us to Walmart that night, he was really bored to want to go to Walmart....I am so grateful that he is Okay, he still has a few problems with things at work and is frustrated that he can't do things as fast as he used to but he is much smarter than I am (and almost everyone else) We are grateful that he is still with us and hope he will be for a very long time. Thank you everyone for your prayers and concern....

Catnap with Cohen


Grandpa's best little buddy, Kelan likes Grandpa better than anyone else, last time they were together Kelan cried because he wanted to go to Papa's house not back to Nebraska with his parents... Papa got close to Kelan when they lived with us last school year... They went on many walks and anything that Kelan wanted to do Papa would do.

Grandpa and Kelan at this great part of Tautphas Park in IF, hanging out in the sand box, Kelan didn't like it very much, it was too dirty....

Cute Family , Ansley had a great labor and deliverary, can you believe it. No pain from contractions, just a lot of pressure when the time came. Merilee, Mirae and I had a wonderful time taking part in this whole birth process. Oh and of course TJ was there. Cohen came into the world all bright eyed and innocent. with rock-star cute hair. When he was crowning I said he would be a cute baby, look at all that hair. Oh he has brown hair with gold tips. It's really cute. He also has small features and has a wonderful disposition. He hardly cries but I'm sure he will. He is a darling in the opinion of this grandmother....

So sweet...

those are some bright lights, turn them down...
