February 2024 Update

I don’t have a lot to report this month, so this may be shorter than usual.

 

I had my tests with my thoracic surgeon, but we haven’t yet met to discuss the results and make surgery decisions.  That appointment is on February 28, so I’ll report on that next month.  The tests seemed to go fine as far as I could tell in my drugged state.

 

A couple of years ago, my daughter, Kortney, suggested we have a tailgate party before the Super Bowl instead of a watch party since the game goes pretty late into the night, and some of us have school and work the next morning.  Even though she’s in Minneapolis and not able to come, we have named the party the Annual Kortney Super Bowl Tailgate party since it was her idea.

 

Anyway, we had our Second Annual Kortney Super Bowl Tailgate Party on the 11th before the big game.  Krista, Cody, and Zach planned games for us to play, and Krista had prizes for all the winners.  There also was lots of fun snacks and food, so it was a big hit again this year, and I think it is a tradition we will keep for many years.  Maybe someday Kortney and her family will be able to join us!

 

Finally for this month’s edition, my daughter, Abigail, has announced that she has their 2nd baby due this summer.  Yesterday we had a gender reveal party, and it’s a boy!  My daughter, Hannah, made cupcakes for everyone with a blue center to reveal the surprise.  That will make 5 grandsons and 12 granddaughters.  We are very blessed!

 

Thanks for reading, and we’ll talk in March!
