Our Family is Growing

Dear friends and family,
Cory was here a week ago to interview for a job. He got the job and is moving to South Dakota. We are thrilled. They have traveled by car to see us numerous times, but we only made it to their house once in over four years. With all the new grandchildren being born and getting to see the newest ones was all we could do. Four of our six kids will be living within 3 hours from us. Katy and Richard and Henry and Joni brought their families to see Cory. Henry Max is the newest grandchild and had his very first visit to Nana and Papa's house. Joel and Kira and boys are right next door in the little house, so they are here for all the gatherings, too. Their Raife is one of the newest babies. There were so many in the house, it was amazing. Little babies, toddlers and preschoolers everywhere. You had to watch where you walked. Upon counting we realized that only half of the family was here. Cory came alone, so we were missing Sarah and the kids. Also missing were Jeff and Jennifer who are in Texas and probably will be for awhile. We went to see them in January to get our very first look at Carter. DeJay and family were missing last weekend, too, but are here visiting right now. They live in McClave, Colorado. Our cup runneth over and so does our house. Hope you visit all the blogs our kids are putting together. Enjoy, Henry and Nancy
