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
