I heard of the toxemia & high blood pressure, Amy. THat sure is complication to carrying a baby around in your tummy! I don't know if Vanessa or Grammy told you I had that at the very end of pregnancy & during labor. THey did quickly reduce the pressure , I think, with potassium. They put something in my veins that made me feel hot all over. It really wasn't too unpleasant & was what we needed to get through the birth with both of us OK. We hope you are both well & happy. Let us know if you need something. Love, Aunt Lisa & Bill Hi AMy & Sean,

Do you have it? Whenever it snows I think of the time we had such a blizzard. It was over a weekend and I had to work so I stayed at your house so I would be able to get to work. After I shoveled myself into your driveway that first night of the storm your mom had a hot bowl of soup and hot chocolate waiting for me. I will never forget that. She said, "I will just take care of my baby sister tonight." I think I shoveled your driveway at least 4 times during the night so I would be able to get to work the next morning. Good memories. I think you have most of my recipes--just call or e-mail if there is one you can think of that you might need. Your mom made the best potato soup. Do you have it?

The days just prior to this one have been warm & sunny, mostly. Bill & I referred to it as Indian summer...the first week of November! I commented that I remember tromping through snow to vote! We are pleased with the results of the election, of course. Now will be the time for all of us to pull back together. I heard 3000 boys are coming home from Iraq. I am sure that was planned, no matter the election results. We saw Jake & Ania twice last weekend & fed them both times. It was fun. While we were with local Democrats to watch the election results Tuesday night, Zach called. He said Amy had just had another accident. She is OK; he thinks the car is totaled. She sure hasn't had good luck here lately. Bill & I are going over to Des Moines this weekend...be their parents & hug 'em! Love, Lisa & Bill Hi Amy & Sean,

It was in the 80's all weekend. It was still pretty warm today, but you can feel a chill coming in the air tonight. Yes, it is much cooler there. It was in the 80’s all weekend.

Tears streamed down my face. I can honestly say I had never truly paid attention to the words before. Your Granddaddy would have loved that. It is beautiful isn’t it. Tears streamed down my face.

I tried to help you through, but nothing can replace your Mom. I think of my sister all the time too. So many changes have occurred for all of us. I hope she would be proud of me and all my changes as well. It really stinks that she isn't here to be part of us, but like you say I guess God had a different plan. I too would have to make fun of her for getting old, after all I am the baby sister. Love ya! I know you miss her Amy. I tried to help you through, but nothing can replace your Mom.
