Alot of things have been going on, not anything too serious, had my knee scoped and it seems to be doing pretty well. Almost all the bruising is gone and I threw away my crutches. The dr did a great job. Some sadness, because I lost my cousin to a very long illness, so his suffering is ended, but he will be missed by his family, also a very dear friend who I have known since I was sick passed away at the age of 84. She was a great lady and will be missed by all who knew her. We all know that they both are in a better place. At times I am a little jealous, but know that I'm not ready to leave this place, have many things to do, to straighten up my act. I also am not ready to leave my family. Knowing full well that the vote is not mine, I pray that I will have time to do the things I need or desire to accomplish. Ron is doing well, has had some agravation in his back, but it seems to be getting better. Brian and family are all well and Kaitlyn is still in Wyo. and the rest are here going to school. Melisa is working at her new job and doing well. Burton and Heather and family are involved in soccer and they both refree and keep the program going. Burton is also refreeing some other sport and working when ever he can. The construction business is still slow in the valley as far as homes go. Brad seems to be doing better health wise. He and his kids still live in our basement apt. He still can't work but hopefully that will change. Becki and Brandon and family are doing well brandons business so far has kept them busy and making enough money. People always want their garage doors to work. Well that about covers us, like I said no great or amazing things, just all doing what we can, and greatful for what we have.

Well today is Jan. 9th, Brenda turned 2 and it seems like the time has gone fast. It was just last year whe was in the hospital. A pretty little sick kid, but she has made up for it now. She said the blessing tonight for the first time, and she was so cute and she did really well. She went shopping with grandma and her mom and I finally got her closet up stairs and her room straightend a little. There has still been some sickness going around, but hopefully, this cold air will kill all the germs if it doesn't kill us first. The new year has been full of blessings and I am so greatful for the good things. We went to Pirate Island to celebrate being 2 and she had a great time. We had previously celebrated Macs and her birthday before this.

4 days into the new year and so far things are good. We are so blessed to have made it through another year without to many problems. Our health isn't at the best but we still manage to get up and do the things we need to do, maybe a little slower though. The kids are all actively involved in many things. Greatful the twins were able to be home for Christmas. Darleen had to return but should be home for a short while soon. Not everything is perfect in their lives, but all the kids are strong and will manage to do the best they can. I'm proud of our grandkids and the good choices they make. Well will keep doing and keep this a little more updated with pictures. Brenda will be 2 on Jan.8th and she has captured the heart of this family.
