Then and now

David ( Cole's husband) is back from London. Cole had a dr.'s appt. yesterday. ryan is going to have surgery soon on hernia and finish his brit milah. Ellen found my journal I started some years ago to leave my story to posterity. It got me through Jr. High. I will try to copy it to the blog and continue the story with High School and on. We had a great week and a half having Cole & Ryan staying with us. Ryan is growing and changing by the minute. He makes elephant trumpting sounds (Ryan, what does the elephant say) he gives open mouth kisses and waves hi - bye. In the words of Forrest Gump: "He's so smart Jenny."

Nichole's David has gone on a business to London (Eng.) for a week and a half and Nichole and Ryan are staying with us. Great fun! We get to see them every day and play with Ryan every day. He's still young enough that i can rock him and sing songs (Byoh baby, fox popped out, Go tell aunt Sally, All my trials) and watch him learn and grow. Doesn't get much better than this in this life.



Have had a few nibbles on the house but no real bites. Time is running out. I will retire in about 40 days. Will post again soon.

Ryan is better

See below, Nichol says Ryan is playing with his toys and has NO fever. Praise the Lord!

Ryan

Nichole called last night. Ryan is running a high fever, is conjested and has a bad cough. At nine months he has a hard time understanding all this. Please pray for him.

David, Nichole & Ryan came to see us Saturday. Nichole wanted to use Ellen's sewing machine to finish a baby quilt she was making. David volunteered to install the new ceiling light/fan in the living room. I sure am glad and grateful that he came. It took an engineering degree and way more patience than I have to get the light/fan put together and hung. We are very blessed to have such a great son-in-law.

Ryan showed off all his new talents of pulling up, crawling and being a charmer. Shortly before they left, he began to run a fever. Nichole called later to confirm his fever and say that she didn't get to baby sit Stone because of Ryan's fever. I think Doug and Shonn got Grandpa Jim to take care of Stone so they could go to the show as they had planned. When we get moved to Tulsa it will be a lot less complicated.

House for sale

Things are moving along in the realestate market. We had 2 lookers last week. The one who looked friday night came again sunday evening with 4 cars of people. Haven't heard from realitor yet but looks promising. God will do what God will do.
