Wow!

I can't believe we're beginning the 3rd week of January and I haven't posted anything. I hadn't even realized the time that's gone by since I posted last. Corine has not posted since October! I will have to get on her about that.

We had a nice visit with Benny over the holidays. I don't think we ever came up with the year that he was home for Christmas last but it was awhile ago.

Jodi is doing great and is off bedrest. Her contractions have stopped but the doctors have said that should she start again, they will not stop the baby from coming this time. Her and Richard are getting so excited. They also just put their house up for sale and are looking for a new one. They've started looking at houses this weekend. Hopefully, they can at least be in a house before the baby is born but we'll see what happens.

Jeana and Chris were home last week. It was Jeana's first visit home since she moved in 2006. A year and half already! She looks great. Her belly is getting bigger. Here is a picture of the ultrasound from her doctor's appt last week. Preliminary review from the doctor's perspective indicates a boy but we will wait till the next ultrasound to see if we can get confirmation. This will make our 9th grandchild. While she was here, she went through many memory boxes. We had some good laughs - definitely worth keeping everything (for a few years anyways). She did get rid of alot of things. Alot of it we will be donating to Volunteers of America.

I have also started going through Jamie and Jodi's memory boxes and mailing them the contents. They've received some and have had some good laughs. The basement is coming along. All the Christmas decorations are now in one area. I now have space for things like the crockpot, roaster, and other big items on a shelf that I can go downstairs and easily retrieve for use. We also finally got the room dividers that I ordered in November. I had really wanted them for Christmas instead of hanging sheets around so people didn't have to look at the "storage" section, but they're here now and they look nice. We're using these since we won't be adding "hard" walls down there.

Hopefully, I will post more often!!
