Mom and Dad's Visit

Mom and dad came from Wisconsin and stayed with us for a couple of weeks. Dad completed a deck railing and mom helped A LOT with the kids. Angel was here for about a month and for almost a week while Bud and Betty visited. We were able to celebrate Joe's birthday, go to the train depot (Joe has a bit of a compulsion about trains) and visit. It was like a breath of fresh air for me because I was able to come and go as I pleased and get a lot of things done and visit friends without kids. It was a great time and I was sad when they left. Looking through photos I noticed there were not any of Betty. I still have to add some of my photos so I will be sure to get some posted with her as well.

We went to Chico the other day to swim and warm up. It is a pool that is filled from a hot springs. They add cool water to it so it doesn't get too hot, but her are some pictures of the boys from our day out!

Here are some of the pictures dad. Hope it works! Love ya,

Because Angel is in town we decided to go to Walmart and get some pictures done. These are some of the various poses we did. Most of these are the pictures we did not get, so we will be making sure most people get something for Christmas. It was fun, but baby Henry had a tough time getting into a happy mood. When Darrell got up there we managed to get the last picture in the pile, but that took a while. He was not happy. Everybody seems to be sick with some sort of cold. Hopefully we will all get healthy soon.

Angel got here from Colorado on Sunday the 11th. She was supposed to get here on Saturday, but due to the weather they had to stay the night in Billings.

Joe on 9/1/2006
















Henry on 9/27/2008















I thought these pictures were kind of neat. The boys are about the same age, you can definitely tell they are brothers!!

Henry loves his sling and being right next to me all the time.



Things are going well here. I am looking at my last month on maternity leave and will be glad to get back into the routine of teaching. The boys are fun to stay home with, but I am often overwhelmed with both of them crying and fussing at the same time. These are just a few recent pictures to show the development of things and to make sure Grandpa Bud can see something new. He may be the only person that looks at this site so I hope you enjoy. Love ya.
