Halloween

I am looking forward to Halloween and seeing some of my grandkids in their cute costumes. Stan likes to dress up sometimes too. I also like to see what the neighbor kids come up with for costumes. I am glad the weather is going to be nice. I put up some pics from our recent Halloween party.

Pictures

I think I have the picture thing figured out - I will try to post a couple.

To Begin With

So let me back up a little. I have felt like I need to write more in a journal, and I decided that doing a blog might help me a little with that. This past week has been somewhat focused on my daughter when she went in to early labor at 33 weeks and as a result gave birth to her baby last Friday as I said in the previous post. Most of the rest of us (the ones who live in Utah) got together at Josh's house tonight for a family dinner. It was really nice to visit and catch up on everyone's lives and see the grandkids. We had spaghetti (Laura's special sauce) fabulous, by the way, salad and garlic bread. It was a nice evening. When I got home I saw the new pictures and video of Vicki's family from their blog. That baby is so cute!

Lucky #13

My thirteenth grandchild was born Friday Oct. 24 to my oldest daughter Vicki. Her name is Lauren and she joins older brothers Daniel and Jacob, 8 and 4 respectively. She is 6 weeks premature and she weighed 4 lbs 8 oz at birth. She is beautiful and very alert. She is in the NICU right now and will be there for a while.
