Thought I'd try to be a techy this morning and share some new photos. I'm still trying to get this shutterfly stuff figured out ... but truthfully, it's all I can do figuring out how to upload the pics! I'm trying to post some pics of Christmas and Erik & Hollie's wedding in December -- half the battle is finding them on my drive!! Ha!! I should do a better job of organizing them when I download! Fortunately Shutterfly is smarter than I am ... still can't find one of the four of them at the wedding!

Erik leaves for Iraq shortly -- he has Hollie and the kids all settled in their new place in Chicago. I know that's a big relief for him ... and I know he plans on coming home to them safely when his tour is over! Hollie & Caden are such a wonderful addition to the family!

Jason is house hunting in Omaha! And is still teaching there .. he's dating Emma right now. She's from Ft Dodge and is a sweetie! (Yes, Jas .. that's a hint!)

Jordan will graduate from ISU in May .. he's busy doing the interview/job hunting thing right now.

Well, I'd best get back to hunting for pics!

Greeting to all on a blustery day in Iowa! The countdown is on for Erik's homecoming sometime in December ~ hopefully prior to Christmas he and Jordan Ann should be back together in Kansas.

We've been keeping busy with the day to day stuff .. work is fine! I'm going to try to attach a fun picture of Jordan at Forest City's new coffee house. It's called Cabin Coffee and I'll let you guess what its decorating theme is from the following picture! Ha! Erik thinks we're leading her astray .. in music, taste and how we're spoiling her!

Check this out for some awesome pictures of Jordan's adventure in Venice!! Strange to think that I have two sons in a different hemisphere? I wish for them both to have safe travels and wonderful adventures!

Well, so far this is looking good .. at least I can find the blog spot back! Whoo-hoo!!

Next I'll have to try attaching some pictures or other items.

Have a great day!
