Things are going well up here in the frozen tundra....many mornings this past 2 wks have been 15 degrees below zero, warming to 2-10 during the day. We had a good 12inches of snow a few days ago giving us a total of about 2ft on th ground.
Cindy and I took Jess' baby to appointment and she has grown to almost 11 pounds...she hasn't begun talking yet..just OH. I keep telling her the alphabet and numbers 1-20. She has a beautiful gummy smile..though not laughing out loud yet.

Jess and Cindy have gone back to work. Cindy is on 2 days/ wk. Jess is fulltime. We have gotten close to having Stephanie waking up only once nightly. It will be better for us all when she sleeps thru the night. At what age does this happen. The baby is now 7wks old. and is becoming more alert weekly. Cindy got the baby to say ( oh ) 3 times in a row yesterday. Wasn't Grammy happy. Before you know it the baby will be reading Cindy bedtime stories. Other than that, Danielle is still working at Subway and should have her license by Feb 15th. After that, she'll be able to drive herself to and from work....which will be a relief to the taxi service we've given her for the last three months.
I continue to be in pain w/ my degenerative disc disease. I have at least 3 vertebrae that grind on top of one another and it keeps me in alot of pain thruout the day. The 2 ortho drs. I've spoken w/ have told me that I'm not a good candidate for surgery as they would have to fuse an extensive amount of my lower back and I would lose all lower back mobility. We are hoping that SSDI will agree w/ the Drs. and place me on permanent diability. But as for now...we'll just continue to live Godly lives and pray knowing that God is watching over us all. Hope to hear what you all have to say........Rob.

As of today, Jessica will be returning to her old job starting tomorrow afternoon at the bakery. Cindy will be slowly going back to work starting Friday and Sunday evening. Before you know it, I'll be the baby's new best friend ( Grampy ). Danielle should have her license in about 3wks and will be able to drive herself to Subway to work as a sandwich artist. I continue to be disabled w/severe lower back pain and less mobility. It's been almost 2yrs since I've worked and I'm still trying to get on permanent disability. We'll know better in 3 months. Hey, where is J. Robson. Get him online. Who can answer this question....The preacher of our congregation wll be relocating to Virginia in May (we believe ). Should our congregation start looking for a replacement preacher????? Thanks.
