Here is Ayden with his mommy and daddy.
Also a picture of Grandpa Galen. He has waited to hold any baby until he had his first grandchild. Way to go Galen. No one sent me a picture with his Grandma Kim.

We don't have a picture yet but we became great grandparents this afternoon. Nathan & Tamara had their little boy 7 lbs. 4 oz. and 19 inches long. Tho we aren't quite old enough to be great grandparents we will gladly welcome him.
Grandparents are Kim & Galen Schaffer.
Ayden makes Ron's parents great great grandparents for the first time.
Congrats Nathan & Tamara.

Finally feeling better

I think I finally am feeling good again. After two days of dentist appointments for Kristi & I we were glad to stay home today. Kristi worked on doing some puzzles and enjoying some dill sunflower seeds I found yesterday. She loves sunflower seeds.
Dentist for her wasn't so good. We will have two return visits next month for fillings. Thankfully they are small ones. Hope the weather cooperates for her return visit.
Tomorrow a day of Christmas shopping and she will get to spend the day at Sandy's which she hasn't been to for awhile. I will be able to accomplish more with her at the day care.
Kristi and I don't moved very fast together. Kristi loves to look at all the goodies on the shelves and we make a lot more stops to the restroom.

Landen update

Patrick & Amber found out that their family physician wants Landen to see a peds orthopedic dr. He will go Tuesday and then hopefully the arm will be cast. Both bones did break. Splint has to be worn all the time until he sees the doctor.

Broken Arm

Patrick & Amber came home from a vacation with her family and Landen went to the playroom to play.
He came out crying and after a trip to the ER, a followup that will be today and then return next week for a cast.
I think is was very stressful on Mom & Dad but Landen is doing much better after the sedation and setting it. Hopefully Amber will find out if it was one or two bones. But we are thankful that the break was a clean one.

Peggy,

Also do you have an email?
Thanks

Schaffer household

Well I have continued to be sick since Thanksgiving. I am hoping after the trip to the doctor yesterday that an improvement will come.
So thankful to read that Becca, Clint and family made their travels to CA safely and are on another chapter of their lives. Now family will be traveling to CA to visit them and what a nice place to visit compared to th 5* we have here in IL.
A few weeks ago a place had apples bogo free. I couldn't ignore that offer though you don't always know what the future holds. So I got the apples and got sick. I am thankful I only got a total of two bushels. I decided that these would be canned as chunks to eat instead of applesauce. Ron enjoys something cold with his meal so I can switch off between the two. I have a half of bushel left. I have 38 qts of chuck apples and will get about another 8 qts from the last bag. You know things just take longer when you don't feel well. I will be thankful to get that last batch completed.
