The Flat Grands!

 
 
 
 


Catching up on the Adventures of the Grands! They went to the hospital with me and then when I got out they went bowling with our church group. After bowling they went on to a ballgame!

Here are some pictures from Flat Grandma and Grandpa's trip to visit Dad's sister Jerri in Toledo and then on to Vonda's in Detroit.

 

Trish,
I am glad they were able to help you at the clinic. Maybe when you go for follow up I can meet you at Amy's with the girls.

I want to go with sometime! I'm sure the view was cool, but I bet the clinic was amaaaaazing!!

Amy brought me to the Cleveland clinic this morning.. It is amazing! She told me morein an hour than I have known in3 years. I will definately be doing my follow up here. Guess I will get to visit Clara every 3 months! There is always a silver lining. I can see grandma Vivian wanting to tag along on occasion. By the way, the view from amys office is awesome. The Cleveland brown stadium right out the window along with lake Erie. Beautiful, but I would miss the occasional cow:)

Hey Everybody,

I have a prayer request. Last week one of my co-worker's sons was severely burned while burning a brush pile. They flew him to the Shriners Hospital for Children in Cincinnati and he is still in critical condition. He has severe burns on 47% of his body. He is having surgeries almost everyday. Today they removed his face, yes that's what I meant, in order to do skin grafts. My co-worker is Crystal Holshouser and she is staying with him while her husband drives back and forth so he can still work. They have 3 children of their own and 4 foster children, and I can't even imagine what they are going through.
They have a website if you would like to visit it.

However, if you look at the pictures I should warn you that there are no words to prepare you for it. Just please keep them all in your prayers.

I went over to mom's today to take a few pictures. The morning glories are taking over the garden and it is beautiful. I liked the spider web, I've never seen one where they make a hole like that, kinda neat. Guess what flavor of suckers they had for story time today? haha

Monica~Too funny! Grandma and Grandpa are really livin' it up these days! Hope all is well with you Prego~!a

Here's what the Flat Grands' have been up to in Dublin. Most importantly is the daily nap and Coaley was willing to watch over them or cuddle with them lol. They went to our church homecoming last Sunday and we took them to a Decemberadio concert the Saturday before as well. It was a little chilly but they enjoyed. I ended up getting the sniffles and hacking this week but they pulled through without any problems haha. Next time I'll learn to take a coat :(

Saturday Schewel's was having a big sale and all furniture was half off. So we went and got a new mattress and bed...Zac is so excited about it, lol. He wanted me to post a picture and show ya'll.

It's huge...Daddy is going to have to make me a step stool. I have to climb on the siderail to get into it! But my back feels better already from the mattress...so the climb is worth it!

Flat Grandma & Grandpa had a big day today! They went to the Sims Family Aquarium- Believe it or NOT~

and they went camping, and junped on the trampoline and played on the swingset. Grandpa rode the tractor, but Grandma didn't want to. She was probably afraid of Kaiden's driving!

Trish, glad you are feeling better. Olivia has already told me that she is coming to see TT and Emma and Kaiden is staying home with me. I guess she didn;t forget about that night on the phone. Dad's b-day was actually last Saturday, and mine is tomorrow! Thanks! Love ya

Going home today! She changed my stomach meds and added some nausea medicine. Still keeping my appt for Cleveland on thursday. Thanks for all yOur prayers.

Please remember Joyce McClung family in your prayers she was the wife of Lewis McClung
vice principal at greenbrier west. Steve did u go to school with him? He is also one of the coaches on the football team. Her daughter graduated with Emily. She had liver cancer.

Trish , sure hope you are feeling better today , do you have any idea when you will get out.

Unfortunately addy I am on a clear liquid diet! Janet don't you and blain have a birthday sat!!! Early happy birthday just in case my brain isn't working that day. Feeling better but can't sleep. Got a room mate at 730 and they just did finish with admitting her and turned out the light.

Man I miss my pillow:(. And my bed:/. And my puppy, he snuggles under the coves with me! Night all

it's the 26th...so next weekend. i am still trying to find him a birthday present! ah!

Trish, hope you are feeling better and getting lots of fluids! Will check on you tomorrow! Emily, when is Zack's birthday? This weekend?

Hope you get to feeling better, Trish! P.S. Hospitals have the BEST chocolate pudding ever!

How nice to be in a hospital bed and able to blog at the same time! Well I lie, it isn't nice to be in a hospital bed. I just got a humungous dose of iv steroids so I may blog til my battery goes dead! Linda shoemaker is in here too across the hall. She has asthma. Linda Legg is what you may know her by. Also Marylou Patterson don't know what's wrong with her either. She was married to Joe Patterson and was secretary at smoot for many years.

Hey ya'll, just wanted to ask you to say a prayer for Mommy. She was admitted to the hospital today for dehydration. She has had a bug or virus all week and is feeling pretty bad now, but they say she should be out tomorrow. Thanks!

Not only are Flat Granny and Gramps going to become sports fanatics, I think they might possibly become globe trotters (and not the ball team!). I hear they may be going to learn to swim. I also hear they might be gardening and farming too. I certainly hope we do not tire them out!!!

I'd love to be going to that flea market! I guess I will have to settle for the 3-4 end of season yard sales tomorrow.

Zac wanted me to update you guys on his cornbread endeavors. He made it a little while ago (with self rising cornmeal) and it was actually really good. close to grandma's, but not quite. he's on the right track. his mom is getting him an iron skillet for his birthday so maybe after next weekend we will get some really good cornbread made!

Trish, the flea market is this Saturday and Sunday, the 19th and 20th, at the fairgrounds right before you get to mom and dad's house. As far as I know people are there at daybreak and dad has gone very early several times in the past. You may want to call him and check for sure, I think mom has been a little behind in keeping up with the blog :) We will be working but I hope yal get to come and find a great deal!

Yes, our colors are Blue and Gold, just like WV. Janet not sure about the blue and white unless you are referring to MEadow Bridge? By the way, I think flat grandma and grandpa are going to a WVU game! Who knew they would be such sports fanatics. Who knows, we may even see them dressed in Red and Gray, Brown and Orange, All kinds of possibilities out there.

Bobby or Monica, I hear there is another big flea market in Dublin this weekend? Could you get the scoop for me? Danny is wanting to come maybe, but we have to be back to white sulphur that evening as Jacob has a football game. He wants to come at 7 if they open that early. Let me know if you have time.
thanks,

It LOOKS like Jacob's and Chandler's uniforms are blue and gold.

Hey Emily, you know how people think Olivia looks like you? Well..........

How Cute! Looks like Clara might be thinking (in the third pic down) "Mom, are you sure this is how it's done? I'll never get full like this!" I guess I'm going to have to take Flat Grandma and Grandpa to the garden. That's the only place I'm going these days.

Amy I think you should've offered Dan a bite! In the third picture down, he has his mouth WIDE open!

Pictures of Clara's first feedings

What can i say? She is beautiful like her mother! Flat grandma & grandpa are going to be TIRED! That was a nice outfit for grandma, Monica and that hat on papa was...interesting! I am going to have to get busy. Trish~the colors are all wrong for your flat grandma & grandpa- they are supposed to be blue & white, unless, of course, they are sporting the Mountaineer colors, which we will pretend they are!

Yeah, that is Chandler. He and Jacob are on the same team. And I might add I think flat grandma and grandpa are good luck for them. They won 50-0 Jacobs team and Tanners team are both blue and gold. Jacobs is Western Greenbrier and Tanners is Greenbrier West so one outfit will do both teams.

Wow! You guys are on the ball! And you are so creative with Flat Grandma and Grandpa! I had better get myself moving. Remember they are all a surprise except Trish's which Grandma and Grandpa know about. Imagine the fun they will have with the finished products!

Is that Janet trying to catch flies?! lol Looks like the flat grandparents are in true Mountaineer attire ready for football season. I like it!! Is that Chandler beside Jacob?
