Well..... Michele thought she was out of the woods. She was happy because she didn't catch the bug from Jessica. Well..... she didn't. BUT she did come home Friday sick! Apparently with her staying up late studying for finals, then having the flu on Tuesday and Wednesday, she got run down and ended up with a bacterial infection. Was pretty sick when she came home after going to the doctor. Pretty well just slept all weekend. She did go back to Hays tonight to work for a couple days before she comes home for Christmas holiday break. We hope that with the weather forecast Jessica will be able to make it home too. But at least if not, she can spend the holiday with Gabe and his family. Busy week! Glada and Audrey are suppose to spend Christmas afternoon with us if the weather allows. And then on Saturday we will be having the Kaler Christmas.

Quick update tonight.

~Uncle Dwight had a pacemaker put in yesterday and has been moved out of ICU. He will then be moved to rehab to help him get stronger and ready to go home. We pray that he stays well!

~Poor Char! Mom took her to have an x-ray this morning as her hand was looking pretty nasty. Apparently she hit it pretty good somewhere, as it is broke. YES BROKE! Poor thing! We hope that it heals fast and they can keep her pain under control. Love you Char!!!!!

Happy BiRThdAy!!!!!!

Happy 23rd Birthday Jessica! We love you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!

Short n sweet...... Please keep our families in your prayers. Roger's Uncle Marvin has passed away today and my Uncle Dwight is in critical condition. Both their families are needing extra prayers to make it through this difficult time.

SnOw DaY!

Well the storm HAS arrived! They were calling for it..... but sometimes they just don't get it right. Well.... this time they are getting close. At 5:15 this morning my boss called. Said she checked the road conditions. Schools were closed. And she wasn't driving! Then she added... "And I don't think you need to be driving in either". What a boss!

SNOW DAY!!!!!

We are still fighting that bug that is visiting us, but doing better. Roger's is still in his head. (hehe .... I've always said that) And mine is still in my chest/head. Gosh darn it! Jessica is also still fighting her's, but is doing better too. Friday we leave for Topeka. Gabe is graduating from Washburn University. Going to be a quick trip. But just important that we be there. We kind of like him......hehe

Uggggg!

This has to probably be the longest week! Let's say we taught Jessica well. She shares well! I know... I know... I told her to come on home for Thanksgiving even when she said she was sick. But that is okay. The things we do for our children. Jessica...Roger....Corina....Jenny....Taylor....~ that is the list.(So far) The list of who has been sick this last week. Thank goodness it is the weekend!!!!

~Jessica.... we are so glad you came home! REALLY! We had such a nice time!!!! You make us smile. Maybe next year Gabe will be able to go to Black Friday with us!

Black Friday.....

Our annual black friday went without a hitch again this year. Michele was in our bedroom door singing "Good morning to you....." at 2:55 am. We left at 3:15am, got gas and was in Wal-Mart at 4:00am. The goal was the 32" tv. YES!!!! We got the tv's! Roger and I got one for our family room. Jessica decided she wanted to combine her G&G Kaler Christmas present with Mom&Dad's. And also got a tv. Then right at the very last minute..... Michele decided she wanted to buy herself one. Later we found out that Gabe would have liked to have had one, but it was a little late. Stinks to be him. Sorry Gabe! We had fun keeping in contact with Jenny, Taylor & Haylee in Wichita. They first thought that they wanted the tv too and we were all going to try to get one.... then talk to the other city before we let any one of them go. Taylor was SOOOOOOO much fun! Maybe next year we can shop all together.

GoBble gOBbLe.....

This year Thanksgiving was Grand! The bad thing was that Jessica was sick.... DARN it! She drove all the way home to be sick. I thought this picture says it all...........





This is what a Grandma having fun looks like.......
