Grandma Finch
Grandma Finch was my motivation and inspiration for starting and maintaining this blog. She would always email me about how much she enjoyed seeing the pictures of her great-grandsons.
Grandma passed away in February. I haven't been able to bring myself to update the blog since then.
Gram was the life of the party and a great dancer. She was a graceful lady who made a mean fruit salad. She had a memory better than an elephant and could tell a story like no other. We are blessed to have had her as a Grandma.
We miss you, Gram!

Boy the weather has been cold! It's been down to 19 degrees - I know nothing compared to the East Coast - but it's frigid for here! Pipes are breaking all over the place.We had some snow - which is always exciting to us in the mild climate of western Oregon. Yup, there was a whole inch and a half and school was closed for 2 days!

The end of 2007 brought us some fun and some new challenges...
On December 4th, I had a gall bladder attack. It was the worst, most awful pain I have ever endured. An ultrasound showed that I had over 100 stones in my gall bladder and one stuck in the common duct. I had surgery 2 days later to remove the stuck stone, and then had my gall bladder out a week later. We were thankful that the hospitals where I had my surgeries were very supportive of me as a nursing mom. For both surgeries, we were set up in a room where Jerry and Braedan could stay with me. Braedan sailed through the whole thing with out a hitch. He even continued to gain weight at a rate of 1/2 pound a week, even though I didn't eat for 10 days!
Aunt Julie and Uncle Dave made the big trip to the west coast for Christmas. It was great to have them visit and hold the new baby and spend some quality time with Jobe. Dave is a great cook and Julie is a great diaper changer!
The house is coming along slowly but surely - Jerry finished the exterior walls and is now starting to work on the inside. (Hooray!)
