Shame on me. It's mid-June and I haven't added a note or a picture to my neglected blog forever.

So many things have changed. Jeanne had a healthy baby girl, Gwen, after two rough-and-tumble boy, Blair and Lance. She loves dressing up her "living doll" in pretty girlie clothes.

Lindsay moved to Sweden with her family. They are adjusting, but it's been a challenge. Ethan gets baptized in Sweden on Sunday (6/21/09) and he's sad his grandparents, cousins and Utah friends won't be there. Addy and Izzy have a good big brother to follow. Lindsay's baby (girl #3--Ethan offically feels outnumbered) is due in September. A little Swedish baby!

Tyson has a job as a defense lawyer in Spokane, and Brandon is still hanging on with his insulation job. Tyson's Jack and Brandon's Bailey, Karsyn, and Cooper are active kids.

With 10 grandkids now--Bailey, Blair, Ethan, Addy, Karsyn, Lance, Jack, Cooper, Izzy, and Gwen--and another on the way, our family is growing. Mike's mom, Elizabeth, is 94 and still lives independently. She grows a few vegetables and grinds wheat for bread. What a role model!

I don't have time to post any pictures, but I am alive and as well as can be expected at 61. Mike is planning to retire next June, so we're hanging on until then.

Maybe later I'll put up a few new pictures.
