Early and loved

Guess who came early!?!?

Our new, beloved, nephew Patrick Charles!! (Holly and Matt)

Holly has had four delightful home births and really wanted one for Patrick. However she developed preeclampsia pretty quick and had a c-section on Saturday. Josh, Michael, Ellie and I met Heather at their house and went to work to put the flooring down in the living room and hallway.

Heather and I organized some food storage and tidied up a bit. The men worked hard to get the flooring in and level and stuff. It was amazing! We wanted Holly (coming home Wednesday) to be able to relax about getting that all done. We hope Patrick (born at five pounds!! So good for 34 weeks) to come home soon. Holly is working hard to get all her clinical hours in so she can graduate with her therapist license in April.

Go family!









Massages and new shirts

My new Valentine shirt!! We have been trying so many things to help Ashley's silent/aura headaches. Kellie Korth gave her a massage with cupping!

Romeo continues to be so cute





Wrestling and Super Bowl


Michael was on the wrestling team this year and decided he LOVED it. Here he is offically.
Of course, our cute puppy, who got into the groomer two months early so now he looks trimmed.
Seesters and cousins, 2025.




Just hanging around

A bunch of people hanging out. Our 1 terrabyte of info went over and we are on a 'media fast' until the 28th when it resets. So I think they are watching a DVD. We miss Gabe hanging out with us.

These are my new glasses! So comfy!! (Remember the last 'good' pair got stolen in Spain and the Chinese ones never really fit well). Anyway  - they are octagonal!

It is super nice and sunny today. Ashley has been home a few days with the death cough/pneumonia. So Chris came to play/do homework. I love my chair!

Me trying to get a picture with Ellie. (Who got a job as a baker in the Simply Bliss cafe at TTech. She gets to bake treats!! And can work days or weekends and not talk to people. It is really just a dream job for her)
