Too long but still going

Wow, It was last June that I posted to this. That is an extremely long time. I have much to go over but I won't do it all justice.

Since June 2009 much has happened in the family. Most of it is expressed in my journal but I will share a few things with you chronologically.

In August we vacationed for a week at the top of Powder Mountain in Eden, Utah and had just a wonderful time. Most of the kids were able to be there (except Matt of course - Richmond, VA mission). The early morning walks seeing all the moose and deer were very memorable.

In September came our 2nd grandchild, Maddox. Lacey and Jeremy were very happy, as were we.

Christmas time was great. This was our turn for all the kids to be with us and we had a great time over the holidays. We got to talk with Matt on the phone. It had been 7 months since the last time we talked. He seemed happy.

Jan 9th, my dad went into the hospital, Jan 13th he came out and went home. Jan 17th at 6:05 a.m. he passed away. He was 88 years old and he had lived a very good life. We miss him.

My daughter Jenny is having a baby this coming Wednesday, February 24th. We are hoping all goes well.

I continue to be truly blessed and look forward to many more years being with family.
