I think winter is finally here to stay. You know it's about time to call it a year in Iowa when your work involves diesel fuel additive, either, jumper cables, and stocking hats.
Anton likes climbing on things in the shop. He gets a kick out of Grandpa telling him to be careful all the time.
Elliott and Zach are all bundled up and dressed for the weather. They enjoy being outdoors. One small drawback of bundled up grand kids helping is when they say, I got to go potty. Grandpa usually says, are you sure?
Years ago I told you it was a transition becoming a grandparent. Well I want you to know it's a bigger transition realizing your grand kids are growing up. Rachael is becoming a young lady.
Amelia is not far behind. I hope they don't think I'm as old as I thought my grandparents were when I was their age.
Speaking of old in a nice way we celebrated a combined Christmas/Birthday get together last Sunday. Jan's father turned 89 and is here with his three children.
Grandpa Gene has a set of twins from each of his children. His oldest, Donna has a set of granddaughters from Seth and Jenny. Kurt and Karl who most of you know are twin sons of Jan. Finally Paul has a set of granddaughters from Levi and Meagan.
Great grandpa Gene always gets the same thing for his birthday, chocolatecovered cherrys and a hitch pin. Remember about a month ago when I told you that as a young son-in-law I thought I would get him a really nice insulated coverall for Christmas and he didn't know what it was for? Well we have gotten him a hitch pin just about every year since and he loves it.
After a hard week of dozing in the cold without a cab, a delicious birthday meal, and a warm fireplace, Mike enjoys a Sunday afternoon nap.
One more thing. Happy Birthday BJ. I couldn't find an appropriate picture. I hope you guys are having fun snowmobiling and are staying warm and safe.
