Friday pizza party...

Hey all-
It's been a while since I posted something. Friday night, Bekah & Aaron had pizza at my dad & mom's. They invited us (isn't that weird--get invited by Bekah to my parent's home), Mark & Angie Reinhard & Tim & Christa. Of course Mom & Dad were there and Liz too. It was alot of fun. We had a chance to get to know Aaron and Tim a little more!
Looking forward to seeing you all at Bekah's shower this weekend! Rebekah, adorable picture of Darci!
Love ya all, Sarah

Darci

Hi there. I thought I'd post this picture of Darci that my sister Heidi took of her. I like the picture so I thought I'd share it with you...and I thought it was time to have something new on this blog!! We've got to get some life back into it!!

Tonight we had a pumpkin carving party and potluck at our house. WE co-hosted it with Andy and Marie. It was so much fun! Grandma's rolls and tea rings were the prizes for the winners!

WEll, I better hit the hay. love ya!

Here's The Clan!!

Hello, ladies! Just thought I would post this cute pic from the weiner roast Sun! WOW, what a clan! What an awesome weekend we had and the weather was beautiful! I felt so bloated when i got home sun night...I was so exhausted, but I went out and walked-I ate WAY too much desserts! But they were worth it! ; ) mmmmmm. Well, have a good night, all, and we'll talk to you soon!

Love ya! Kristy

Sunday Weiner Roast

Good morning ladies,

Boy a lot has been going on. So sorry to hear about Jami's dad's scare. Thankful he got help right away and that he took an aspirin. Wow, we just never know.

Hope Josiah is back in his routine again. It is amazing how a drug that is suppose to help can affect some one so differently.

About Sunday-- There will be a baptism meal with a hot sandwich which we are all expected to eat . Because of that I am not going to fix barbeque. We will still have weiners etc and of course our desserts. Because everyone will be around you can come to the weiner roast any time after 3:00.

Praying for a blessed week-end. Bonnie

ah....he is perfect for you bekah!

Hey all -

Hope everyone is doing well - Oh, Kristy. . . I feel for you! I hate nights when kids are up and out of sorts! The boys (simon and jonah) are finally starting to do better. Megan told us at bible study that Simon slept until 6am and Jonah until 4am which is GREAT for them! Interestingly enough, Raegan woke up at 3:30am that same night!!! Isn't she too old for this?!? Actually she has been waking up around 2:00 or 3ish everynight for that past week. She is teething. . . but it is HARD to get up - especially when you expect a full night of sleep. I have learned that in parenting - you need to expect the UNexpected! As soon as the kid is in a routine . . . it changes again! That is life!!

And Bekah!! I am so thrilled for you. Aaron does sound like such a great guy!! It's awesome seeing you so excited and in love! God is good!!

Have you all heard about my dad?? Earlier in the week, he was exercising and about 5 minutes into it had to stop because of pain in his left arm. He immediately thought "heart" and took an aspirin. It stopped. The next day. . . same thing. Then the day after he decided not to exercise - went out to get the mail and on his way back he felt pain go up through his arm and to his chest. It stopped with aspirin but he decided to call in. The doc. told him to go immediately to the E.R. They did testing and found nothing until they did the angiogram (i think that's the name) in which they found that one of the main arteries to his heart was clogged 85-90%. They did the balloon method and cleaned him out. This process took 2 1/2 hours (on another patient - same process took 45 min.) because it was in a tricky spot. Actually while cleaning him out - they actually clogged up another side artery and he had a mild heart attack!! Fortunately - he is doing well. Came home on Sunday and should be completely normal soon! Doc. said that if dad had ignored those symptoms he probably would have had a heart attack! Strange thing is - Dad had only one of the common risk factors - High Cholestoral. You never know. . . God is GOOD! We were on our way up to Michigan for an adoption conference while all this was going on. I just can't believe it happened to my dad. It makes you realize even more how quick things can change! May each of you live today with peace, joy, and grace!

LOVE YOU!!

Jami
