January 10, 2008




Dear Friends & Family,

After reading for a few months a neighbors family updates by blog, I have decided to create our own to help everyone stay informed. Hopefully you like the postings, photos and updates. You can even post responses if you would like. I most likely will discontinue the e-mail updates.

Now.... I am not very technically savvy or claim to be an expert on grammar or spelling, so please be kind when reading my entries. My thoughts are very clear in my head, it's just getting it down on paper that sometimes becomes jumbled.

Jerry and I have been able to communicate via cell phones the last couple days. They are settling in, training and recovering from the OSU loss.
Sophia is doing great and slowly getting back into a routine. On Tuesday & Thursday while her Nanny is in school, she goes to our neighbors home to visit her boyfriend Jackson. Sophia and Jackson were born on the same day, year and hospital. Sophia out weighs Jackson by 6lbs. I think all the weight is stored in her cheeks. We were fortunate to meet the Arthur family this summer while walking the babes in the neighborhood. Thank you Tricia for your help and support. Attached are a few photos of Jackson and Sophia at lunch time and going for a walk.

Dear Friends & Family,

Many of you have asked how Jerry's father is doing. He continues to stay positive & active. I will hopefully get a good update to share with you soon. Please keep Harold & his family in your prayers. Attached are a few photos of Jerry's father with Sophia over the holidays. His sister Janalee took the portraits.

My younger sister came to help out the first weekend. We had a lovely weekend. I had a small gathering of some close friends, and we were able to make about 80 Origami Cranes for Shu/Heidie's wedding party favors. We had a good time doing it. I was quite impressed with how fast everyone picked up the skill. All the wine helped us crease the paper more straight (not). Hopefully, there will be no grading of the cranes at the wedding.

Thanks again for all your support & help. I hope these e-mails keep you updated. If you want me to remove you from the e-mail group, please let me know. I am always happy to add additional friends & family to the group. Please just pass me their address.

Talk with you soon.
Tiffanie
