Twins

Wow! I am steel reeling over the news that Marchelle and Tyler are going to have twins. Actually, I'm not even sure if they've recovered from the news yet. I just hope that she starts feeling better again soon and the vomiting stops. The doctors did all sort of tests and basically said that she has a condition called Hypermesis. This is an extreme form of morning sickness that occurs in 1% of pregnancies. It's very weird that she's having twins b/c they do not run on my side of the family. Her father's side of the family has no twins and Tyler's family has no twins. I guess it was pure "luck"! LOL It figures too, b/c M&T had decided that this was their last baby - that two was enough. I guess she really needed to follow in her mother and sister's footsteps.

January. Where did December go? I didn't even post any pictures from Thanksgiving in Florida! I haven't even thought about blogging in over a month! First, Happy Birthday to Benny (1/10). I can't believe he's 28.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and Happy New Year. Ours was very quiet. Benny was able to drive up this year. He arrived on Christmas morning at the same time Al & Jean arrived at our house. We had a nice visit then went over to Chris and Randy's for a wonderful prime rib dinner.

The end of December was also sad as we had to put down our beloved dog, Scout. She was such a good dog and we miss her terribly. She was so spoiled and definitely had us wrapped around her paws!

Corine and the kids moved into a new house. It's a nice 3 bedroom ranch. I hope 2009 brings better things for Corine and for certain other people to grow a sense of responsibility and maturity. Thanks for everyone's support - she couldn't get by without you.

January has been a whirlwind. Last week was my first week back to work and I couldn't believe how hectic it was. My boss is traveling this week so things should be a little quiet.

Well here's hoping January is quiet for you! Spring is right around the corner!!
