brooke i am so glad to see that you are still alive.  we figured you were probably moving and that is way we hadn't heard from you, but it is nice to know for sure.

darla those pictures are so awesome.  i was telling mom how you kind of make me ill, how dang cute you are when you are pregnant.  i don't think i have ever seen anyone look as good as you do.  (no offense to anyone else.)  hazel is doing great.  she has only had one half accident since we took the diaper off and she is even done wearing one at night.  she has had a dry diaper every morning so we just figured we would stop wasting them.   i had to go through all of her cloths from last summer that i had packed away because she is back in a size 12 month pant and she won't wear her onesies because the snaps hurt her.  before i went through her old cloths i went to target and bought her all this new stuff, but when i thought about how much i had just spent and how i could better spend that money on myself i took it back and came up with the old cloths idea. 

we signed fesability papers on two acres in woodland on saturday.  we have 20 days to decide if the property will work for our house and shop and make sure the neighbors aren't scary crazy!  it's not the ten acres we wanted, but it is heading in the right direction.

wow i just got done looking at all of the pictures that aunt jack emailed.  i love looking at them and seeing that jane does look like mom and sadie looks like jack and jesse looks so much like joanie.  but man they also make me so sad.  i think of what our family could have been.  i see how beautiful granny was and i know she was even more beautiful on the inside and it makes me sad for her and the sisters, but mostly for grandpa.  he really missed out on something special.  there are more emotions than i can even express.  i love that each generation just keeps getting stronger.  i pray that my children know what strong women they come from. 

  well this has taken all day and hazy has just woken with a raging fever so i must call it quits.  i love you all and wish we could find a way to come and play.  i can't wait for monie and cameron's visit!!
