Computer & Internet

We finally bought a laptop and have internet at home! That was mine and Scott's anniversary present to each other! Look for more posts to come soon! I should be able to post more often too!

Weekend Wedding

Labor Day weekend Scott's friend Levi got married in Goodland. We made the trip up there when I got off work on Friday. We stayed with Papa Fritz so the girls were super excited! They love Papa Fritz and Archy, the dog, and Sunny, the cat! Saturday morning we just hung out and then headed to the wedding. It was a very nice wedding. We went to the reception and all the girls wanted to do was dance. We got a few bites of food down them and then finally let them go dance. They had a blast dancing with all the other kids!

QH Volleyball

It's that time of year again! Time for QH Volleyball! And they are on a roll! They are 6-0! The girls and I attended the games Tuesday night at Bushton. QH defeated Sylvan Grove and then Chase. They didn't play real well but they pulled it out. It's off to Ellsworth this weekend for the first tournament!

Good Luck!

Miss You Grandpa

Well, it's been a rough couple weeks. I got a phone call from Mom at work Wednesday morning August 26th that Grandpa wasn't doing well. He had passed out that morning so they ran some more tests and found that he had a bleeding aneurysm in his chest. Because of his age, there was nothing they could do. He had maybe a couple days to live. My brother and sisters came home as quickly as possible. Our cousin Mark, made it here on Friday. Many of Grandpa's friends and family stopped by too. By Wednesday afternoon they had moved him into a Hospice room and started him on Morphine. He was pretty much non responsive after that. We all did get to give him a kiss and tell him we loved him Thursday and he got out a rough "I love you too". My mom wouldn't leave his side. All of us kids, mom and dad stayed the night in the hospital. The Hospice room had a couch that had 2 reclining seats and two other recliners. One of us stayed awake with Grandpa at all times. We reminisced, prayed, read the bible, and tried to keep him comfortable. We wanted to share every last minute we could with him. We wanted him to know that he wasn't alone. On Sunday morning, August 30th, Grandpa left us and went to be in his eternal home. It was so hard to see him go but know that he isn't suffering and we'll see him again in Heaven. He was laid to rest Wednesday, September 2nd. It was a beautiful service.





We're not sure how much Grandma understands. We think she knows that he is gone and isn't coming back. She's cried and made some statements that let us know she knows she is by herself now. She is still at hime and Mom has been staying with her every night. We're not sure what the next step is. It's just one day at a time.





We had so many family and friends that were willing to stay with Grandma so that we could stay with Grandpa. I know it wasn't easy for them since they aren't around her that much. They all did a wonderful job with her! We appreciated it so much. Mom never had to worry about what to do. There was always someone to step up and say they would stay from this time to this time and then someone else would fill in as long as they could. What a blessing we have in all of them! We thank you all for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.





We thank God for the 91 years that he gave Grandpa to all of us. It was nice to see so many family and friends that cared so greatly about him. He was a wonderful man! We've realized that even more since his passing. He touched the lives of so many people! We miss you Grandpa!
