Jan.s half over already

A short update from Mom, we are doing well here. Denise thought we should diet with her family, so we have been trying to do that. yes we need to. It seems like Dad has cut his insulin way down, so that is good. Wish us luck. Its hard when Finn's want to go out to eat 3 times a week. and have birthday cake. Well a good report for me. 6 weeks with no bladder infections. only 8 more and I can schedual my hip surgery. It will probably be first part of Apri, after we get back from Utah. We are leaving the 25th of Feb. and will come home a week after the twins are blessed. We are glad that David is here to take care of Pattie and the house, so Denise won't have to come over every day. Still no work for either David or Steve. They are both depressed. They are trying so hard. Pray for them. Glad Joe is back to work. Just hope his work picks up soon. Baby Timothy was back in Portland twice this week for more test. He did drink 3/4 ounce of milk the other day, so thats good.Larry has been going out with the missionary's some. He enjoys this. We got a new Bishop last Sunday. Will miss Bishop Bingham. Greg Hansen is our new one. He grew up with Larene's family. His mom was their seninary teacher. I don't have Emily much, I miss her, she is a real handful now. Larry fixed his walker for me, I will try to use it more, cause it is getting harder to walk each day. Happy New Year and we love You All. Mom

Jan update

Jan 13th
Sorry it has been so long, but time flys when you are having fun. The hoildays were fun. Jan has brought more changes in our life. We have David living with us for a while, that is fun. He is still in a lot of pain. He got all dressed up in a white shirt and tie and went to church with us. After church we had Joe and family here for Joe's birthday dinner. Niki and Jaris and Austin came also. Austin is so cute and smiles at us.
I have had 3 weeks now with no bladder problems, only 21/2 more months to go and then they will think about my hip surgery. We have tickets to go to Utah the 25th of Feb until the 25th of March. We will get to see the Best twins blessed, Can't waite. Hope to have a nice visit with Pam, Shaylee, and Matthew, & Larene and Skip. Pam has tickets to come for 2 weeks when I have my surgery. That wil be a big help. I will be pretty limited for about 6 weeks. I must get all better so we can go back to Utah in June for Shaylee's graduation. Can't believe she is almost 18.
Baby Timothy is home now, still has to be feed by a tube in his nose.
Our family is blessed in many ways. We love all of you and hope this next year brings much happiness. Love you all Mom
