February Babies

February is short and sweet...both the month and for our list of birthdays. And the only two that I know about both share the same birthday!

February
1st - Samantha (Ann//Norman)
2nd - Benjamin (Ann//Norman)
3rd - Emily (Karla//Marv)
5th - Mark (Norman and Diane)
5th - Vera (Don's wife)
9th- Brenna (Rod//Marv)

(for Internet security, I think I'll leave off the last names.)

By the way, Debbie, Mark also has twin girls. I think there are four sets among the grandkids.

Lisa's update

We have had a lot of life changes in a very short time. Here is a quick update. A couple weeks ago my husband lost his job. Last week, he got a really good job offer in Portland Oregon. Yes, this is where Dawn lives, which is a bonus! And we put an offer on a house there, which was accepted yesterday. We close on the house on March 8. Now we just have to get our house sold here in Des Moines. Anyone looking???

Both of us always thought we would someday like to move away from Iowa and try living somewhere else. So, maybe this is the time to do it. The hardest part will be leaving family. I think the older you get, the more you realize that they are the most important thing. Though we are sad to leave both our families which are so close to us here, we are really excited about moving and starting a new chapter in our lives. If you are ever in the area, look us up!

Beware of New Blogger

I tried to avoid it, but I can't any longer. The blogger server has updated itself. You may have to do something different to get signed in. Just follow the directions and hope for the best!

Happy New Year everyone. I hope 2007 is a good year with lots of fun, good health, and happy memories for all. Here are the January birthdays that I know about.

13th - Fran Schettler
23rd - Nathan and Peyton Schettler (Ron's twins)

And it's not a birthday, but on the 28th, Norman and Diane will celebrate a special milestone with their 40th wedding anniversary. Was it a cold and snowy day when you were married?

Share your wishes and special memories with our birthday stars!
