Two Science Teachers and........ a BABY!: 7 Weeks

Hi Sweetcheeks!

Well this has been A BIG week! Your Grandma and Grandpa are here visiting from Michigan! We'll get to that visit in a bit - first here are some other great happenings that have occured in our life over the last few days:

Our friend Chris C. invited your Dad to go on a FREE guided steelhead fishing trip up in Riggins - on THURSDAY! So your Dad had to take a RARE two days off work right before break. Fourtuinaly he has an awesome Principal who completly supported him in going. So off we went! Up to McCall Wednesday night! We stayed through Sunday! It was so amazingly wonderful. Fishin, shopping, napping, eating, football, crusin' and stollin'! We had such a great time as a little family.
While we were up there TWO special people entered the world!

Cynthia Rose Tarell (11-22) joined us a little early. But Mom and Dad and baby girl are doing ok. It will be a long haul for them for the next few months.
THEN ~ Lindy Sue Rydman (11-23) joined us a little late! But again, Mom and Dad and baby are doing splendid. They are all anxious to get on the road and get home. We are all hoping for a Thanksgiving arrival.

It was emotional for both your Dad and I to share in the arrival of these two special little ladies. We feel a deep sense of gratitude for how healthy you are and for how happy you have made us. You truly complete our life Katie Jane. Watching our friends experience this kind of love (now that we have some context to understand it) is a very special feeling. :)

Your pops and I enjoy listening to all sorts of music together.....and sometimes we get goofy....

HAHA! We love you!

After our expedition Up North we meandered home to BEGIN Thanksgiving Break! Grandma and Grandpa Cudnohufsky arrived on Monday to meet you for the first time!!! We took you to the airport and met them as they came out from the gates. They were so excited and happy.

I took my Momma shopping for the day on Tuesday. We went to a neat baby store downtown and found some nice presents for YOU! We also went by the Boise Co-op to pick up our 20lb local fresh turkey for the big day. You stayed at home with your Dad and my Dad.
