We have been scanning pictures(slides) for family history. We found some very cute old ones. Kids haven't changed much, just aged. so this is a little stroll down memory lane.

The grandkids were having fun twirling the chair. Would have made me sick but didn't seem to affect them.
The neighbors made a snowman ---he began to go small,small,small and lean, lean , lean.. cute huh!!!!!!!!
This is a picture of some of Maries' collection in her "dead" room. The cougar is the newest one. Actually she is pretty handsome.

We had a family dinner tonight at Chesleys'. The food was great, company fun. We took pictures. We sure miss the other 3 kids and their families. Were we bottomless pits we would go to them way more often.

Look at Dad's hand compared to her.

Uncle Scott bearly notices the little weight in his arm as he meets his new neice

THe beautiful new one

This is the best picture of Annabelle. weighing in at 4 lbs 12 oz. after a heavy meal. Well , maybe not but she sure is sweet.

Annabelle sleeping in her little swing, she always turns her head to the side, she is not a jauandice as early in the week.. I had to come home and leave the little on in the capable hands of her parents. They are doing well.

"Trouble in River City..."

Annebelle lost weight, from 5lbs. 9 oz. down to 4lbs. 12 oz. and she was quite yellow. SO back to the hospital she went. She has to drop her billie from 20-down to 11 or 12 and gain some weight before she can come home now. Over night her billie went from 20 to 14 ..now we pray that she gets real hungry. We are all a little tired. more later .

We have a new grandbaby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE are grandparents to a beautiful baby girl. Jake and Lynn had their baby girl, Annabelle Marie , yesterday Jan 13, 2008. She weighed in at 5lbs. 9 oz. and 18 1/2 in. long. She arrived 5 1/2 weeks early. SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!! She is healthy and beautiful. Her mom was wonderful. They had been up to see Jakes' parents and tried to head to their hospital. Had to take a different route with the ambulance to another hospital. What a story they will have to tell. They had a great nursing staff and the Dr.s were very attentive.
I caught the 1st plane available and got here about 30 minutes after she arrived. Pictures will follow later today. She is in the NICU and we were unable to take pictures yesterday.

Love to you all................
