Today was very cold, 2° above 0, wind chill of -30°. I didn’t go out too much today. Keith did chores. It was nice staying in. I’ll be having Megan 4 days a week now instead of 5 days. Donny had a basketball game tonight. Keith usually goes and helps keep score or do whatever…

Christmas day I took Donny to the emergency room for an examination and some medication. Helen got a Preemie twin stroller from Grandpa’s money and table mate…

It’s been so cloudy and gloomy the last few days. Sure hope the sun comes out before too long or my tomatoes will never ripen. Donny and Helen stayed by Ken and Cathy’s last Friday night. They enjoyed that a lot. It’s hard to believe Kim and Carrie are in 1st grade this year. Sending…

Time sure goes fast. Donny is getting so tall and independent — guess that’s how it should be. Helen is still so sensitive. In some ways I wish I could keep em little forever, but that’s not what the Lord wants. Helen doesn’t have dance classes until later this summer. She sure loves those. Hard to…
