Happy Monday!

Good Morning!
Hope that everyone had a good week-end. Ours was good, Stacy was here, met friends from my work for lunch on Friday, went out to eat with friends (Roger & Cyndie) from Adel on Saturday, and I planted some Climatis vines on Sunday. Probably over did, because I'm pretty sore today, but it was nice to get out in the sunshine.

We had good and bad new yesterday. Good news - friends had a healthy baby boy - Tyler Robert - 8 lb 3 oz...They lost a baby boy last year, so lots of prayers went their way with this pregnancy. Mom and baby are doing fine....Bad news - good friend, JoAnna Lund, passed away from breast cancer.

Christy & Shaun were supposed to come this next week-end for several weeks, but we decided that it would be best if they didn't. We don't know when the chemo will start, when they'll put the port in, etc., so unfortunately, we won't get to see them this summer. We were looking so forward to it and us as well as Krista & Stacy had made a lot of plans for them, but we all know that things don't always work out the way we plan them.

Thank you so much to all of you for your support, your prayers, phone calls, flowers, additions to my blog, emails, etc. It means so much to Sam and I to know that we have such a strong support group out there. We don't know what lies ahead, but we do know that there are a lot of friends and family that care.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Love,
Karen

    Good Morning Sis !

    OH, so nice to see "Happy Monday".
    It sounds like you had a nice weekend enjoying family and friends.
    I'm sorry to her your sad news but your good news was wonderful!

    I'm sure Christy & Shaun will understand grandma has some health issues to take care of. Do they know about the Blogg? Christy is old enough to write on the computer.

    I think most of the children of this day and age are born with one in hand! Maybe she could post pictures and etc., and you could keep up with her comings and goings this summer;she could do them for both she and Shaun.

    I better go I have exercise class in 15 min.

    Oh, Im going to Mpls. this Thursday, Yeah!!!, It has been over a month and we think that is way to long...

    Have a good week , and get lots of rest..

    Love, Sis

    Happy Monday to You!
    I haven't too much excitement since the foaming this AM. I thought that you would get godd laugh out of that story.
    They all rested this AM, Owen slept and the twins rested and watched cartoons and I dozed a little in the chair. Drew was up first and riding the little care over the bridge. He loves that little car that you got for Owen.
    We vacuumed and cleaned up and Ken is going to come home for lunch and then I hope to get a real nap when the kids sleep. We'll see how that goes though. I can't count on that.
    Then we are going outside to move some rock form the back to the front. I am hoping to wear them out so they go to bed on time tonight!
    Evan has paractice this week on Tuesday and Thursday. I'm not sure when his games start. Hopefully this week we can get in the groove with his practices.
    Talk to you soon.
    Love,
    Krista

    Good afternoon! Well - I have had another very busy day at work. Never ending!
    Shannon and I were at the gym at 5am this morning. We had a great workout and then came to work. At lunch today we ate our healthy meals and then walked 1.5 miles!
    Last night Heather and I walked 3 miles so I am slowly starting to walk more to get ready for September.
    Tonight we have our AmericanIdol party so that should be fun. Then back to the gym at 5 am tomorrow!
    Glad you got your flowers repotted and your vines planted. It will look nice once they start creeping up the trellis.
    Hope you are enjoying the sunshine again today!
    Love you both!
    Luv, Stacy
