2008

This has been the worst of times and the best of times and still remember the best of times. Jay has been the best of times and what an amazing person. The pain I feel does not even measure to the pain my family feels. He is amazing and so is my family. He now sees how much of an influence he has been and continues to be with our family. We have been blessed.

We had to take Jake our dog Corey's first dog to the vet last Friday to have his last visit. He was old and what a heart for a lab of 15 years and I thought it would be worse than loosing Sammie, Curt's first dog last year but it was not and I love my dogs ALOT but I'm adjusting to these things a bit more.

Our blessings..........Lets see. 4 amazing grandchildren and amazing parents, well yep they are and another amazing grandchild on the way any time soon. Not sure what draws them to Oregon? Can any one guess.....Granny and Papa....brothers being together and stuff like that?

I loved preparing my Christmas card list this year. More are added to the list that was good. My cousin Diane, got to visit with her at Mindy's wedding, and few more friends that we got to know better this year. One of the coolest things is getting my fresh wreath from Oregon :-)

Hi Bev:
Don't you just love the smell of fir needles in your wreath. We should send you a tree. The smell just enhances the Christmas feeling. We got to visit with Corey and Katherine the other day. And Anna Banana. Kenzi (and the boys) loved playing with her. We are anxiously awaiting news of the new baby. Miss you. Love you- Stacy
