home again giggidy gig

Taryn called today she was on the way home with miss Sophie. Now Robert and Taryn will be in the new parent bubble in their home as it should be. We are so greatful to all those who helped them out during this time. Sue deserves a nice break to with all the driving she has been doing. It is amazing to me at how tired we get from sitting in a car even if you dose off (passengers only). WELCOME HOME TO ROBERT AND TRAYN AND SOPHIE
WE LOVE YOU

update on Sophie

I am bad at comunication quite often sorry. I am going to try again Sophie was left in the hospital and Taryn went and stayed at her mothers and went back and forth as it is a shorter distance than from her home. Sophie is feeding much better and is no longer in the nicu but is still monitored. She is keeping her body temprature up and pretty much just needs to eat better so she can go home. Jim and I are going up there today to see them so hopefully we can let you know more soon.
Until latter,
love grandma

grandbabies

Well on Sept. 04, 2008 we were blessed to have a new baby come to the family. Sophie Elizabeth 5lbs. 8 oz. 18 1/2 " her due date was Oct. 16th. She is doing great and mom and dad are in new parent world, sort of floating around and most likely wishing for some time by themselves. We are so very greatfull that they are all okay. When we got home from the hospital that evening Jenna called and let us know that she is pregnant also. She figures May is her due date. That will be fun to have another baby coming in a few more months. It actually took awhile to sink in as I was still worried about Taryn as she did not look to good to me after the delivery of Sophie. But when we saw her the next day all worries fanished and a breath of calmness filled me and I knew it was over and everything would be okay. Sophie was doing great, but mom. We are excited for every new baby that comes to our family. We now have 21 grandchildren with one on the way. We love being grandparents. Thanks to all those of you that have made it possible and allow us to play with your beautifull children. We truly do feel privledged. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
