Hi Mom, it seems I am the only one to talk to you lately. The others are probably just busy is all. I haven't heard from Debbie lately. She usually calls once a week. I talked to Becky not too long ago and Shelley and I usually email back and forth thru the week. Her and the kids are doing good. Baby Seth is crawling every where and pulling himself up to things now. He's such a cutie! You were so right when you found out Shelley was pregnant, I remember you saying 'things happen for a reason'. I can't imagine Shelley not having him. He has really made her happy, I don't think she would have made it thru losing you without him Mom. I think it is our kids that keep us strong and the weeks Shelley doesn't have her other 3 kids...well she definitely needed Seth to keep her strong. I haven't heard from Sandy though Mom. Debbie talks to her... She works a lot I guess. Maybe she'll be able to come up soon. I know it is hard on her too...coming up to your house. I am sure everyone will start talking to you again and filling you in on things, I am sure you probably know everything...as you are watching over each and everyone of us...I can feel it Mom. I just can't seem to go very long without talking to you. That's how it has always been between us though...we never went a day without talking to each other. This weekend has been pretty nice. They are calling it 'the calm' before the next storm. We are suppose to get some rain/freezing rain Monday night into Tuesday...pretty amazing this weather is. Tay goes for chemo on Tuesday, hopefully with the weather we make it ok. I would hate to have to reschedule! I am hoping the rain doesn't make the main roads too bad, but I am betting it really messes up the side roads enough to have yet another day off for the kids. I never made it over to your house this weekend. I was planning on doing that. I really hate going there when no one is there. I know it is a poor excuse, it is just hard Mom. It's hard going to your house without you being there. Even almost 6 months later I am still not used to it. I think about you every day, every night and miss you like crazy!! I love you Mom!!
