Julia

I know that there aren't that many people out there who even look at this, but for those of you who do I just wanted to give a little update on Julia. She has had some rough days, but mostly good ones. She is holding on strong. Her parents are now updating their blog often to keep us all informed. Here is the address http://erindhansen.blogspot.com or you can link there on my sideline under Erin! Thanks for your well wishes and prayers, they are definetly being felt!

Baby Julia

Last week my brother and his wife had their 5th daughter! She was born at just 23 weeks gestation. She weighed 1lb and 4oz and almost 12 inches long. She is doing Remarkable well for one born so early. So far she has not had any bleeding in the brain which is a wonderful thing. She has had a few lung issues, but they are stable now. We are praying each day that things will continue to go well for her. She is so tiny and they say she is a fighter already! (she has to be as a member of her family!) :)
We love her already and know she will be a blessing for all our family. Thank you for all your well wishes and prayers for she and her family!

Dance Recital

Katelyn and Wil had their mid-year dance recital last week. Katelyn is in the highest group on the competition teams. She LOVES to dance and she really likes the girls she dances with. They are really nice girls and they get along well. The competition season starts soon and I think they are all excited.
We agreed that Wil would take a hip-hop class to give him something to do and give him a chance to improve his coordination. He has some work to do, but he is so DANG cute!! (I'm working on getting the video posted,so you can have a good laugh)
When we came out of the recital, I found my van had been hit by another vehicle. LUCKILY the woman was honest and stuck around, so we could exchange information. I have been told everywhere I go, how rare it is to find someone that honest these days. I am so grateful for her honesty. So, right now we have a rental and our van should be done soon. We are loving this new van and the kids all want to keep it, but I think we will stay with the one we own! :) (Not fancy, but no payment :)!)

Happy Birthday!

It's always fun to start the new year with this guy's birthday! Another year has passed and he is now 9! What a great kid. We love him lots and look forward to another wonderful year with him! Alex you are Awesome and we love you!
