Was a very busy, productive, and difficult year!!
As I sat quietly reflecting on the events of 2011, I have to say that I'm glad that all my loved ones made it through. It was a hard year on many. Years of Economic difficulties, have taken there toll on many. But along with those difficult things, came wonderful things! The marriage of our daughter Emma, to a wonderful young man named Justin. He's so good to Emery! The pregnancy of our daughter Katie, soon to have her 4th son, to deliver the end of January, or first part of February, and the pregnancy of Kevin's wife Nicole, do deliver sometime in June. The purchase of a new home, which has everything that we were looking for. The ability to rent our previous home to our daugher Jenny, and husband Jon, with our little grand daughter Autumn.
Jason's wife Stephanie was baptised, along with her son Dillon. My brother in law Steven's daugther was baptised, and asked that I confirm her.
Emma's husband Justin is able to provide for his new family so that Emma was able to quit working at American Express.
Yes... Rhonda now is officially retired from the care giving business. It's with very mixed emotions that she will move into the next phase of her life. She now gets to focus full time on me!! ;-) And being a grandma to our 17 grand kids! We already miss little Emery at our house... I'm used to hearing her little voice, and getting a big hugs from her each morning... but it's good that she gets to be with her mommy now... What a blessing she has been in our lives!!
Gary is doing well in heber... working hard... being happy... we are thankful that he is doing so well. He is a master RC builder. Amazing to watch his creations at work. I'm sure he would be happy to show any of you, his neat toys.
Joe is moving forward with his wonderful little family. He lives in our previous home with Jenny and Jon, with his two children Josie and Xander. He has a new friend named Sarah, and she has a son Alex. We enjoy having them visit.
Kevin bought himself a racecar... he replaced the clutch himself. He let his old man drive it... fun times. We all seem to have a love of cars...
The family celebrated Grandpa Tew's 90 birthday down in Ephriam. It was good to have all the kids there!!
Be good to each other this year! We are all we have!!
