Zoe baby pictures

Hi all -

To see the baby pictures of Zoe go to:
www.trinityqc.com
click on baby photos on the left side of the screen
click on pink box
click on date 9-14
click on Zoe Marie

If you're asked for a password any time - it's Ehlers

So Rebecca said in one of her responses that Ian took up knitting - so I sure hope he's knitting PINK booties for Zoe and Olivia. He better hurry because Zoe is here but he does have time for Olivia since Talia isn't due for a few months. Must be hard for him to fit it in between all that Marines stuff he has to do. (okay Ian - now it's your turn to comment to Rebecca and me!) :)

Grandma and Grandpa just came home from Rock Island and visiting Zoe, Tara, Chris and Kairi. The scoop is that Kairi does not want Zoe to come home! Can't imagine why?! Grandpa says that Zoe looks like his dad.

In looking at the pictures I see Erin and Grandma Judy. But what do I know, I was the one that thought Tara was having a boy!

Thanks to all who commented - it is awesome!

Love ,
Aunt Deb

Change

Ryan is safely back at North Central for his Senior year. He starts classes tomorrow and his room at school is all set up. He has an awesome room arrangement and is rooming with Jeff, his roommate from last year.
We all (including Matt & Bethany) kept our family tradition of gong to Red Robin in Naperville after we move the boy (s) in. This is the 3rd maybe 4th year we have been doing this. It was good to have ALL my kids together.
Sarah is settling into a routine of school and work. She will begin her Special Ed observing hours soon at the grade school that when to - that will be neat! She will be observing a 2nd grade class with an inclusion child that has Cerbly Palsy (SP?)
Matt has settled in with his teaching - it's aways so nice to see him so excited. Bethany's sunday school programs are going well and she is also very excited. It is so nice to see your kids happy about their jobs!

Family News
Rebecca made it to helicopters! I believe it's 6 weeks of training on all helicopters and then 6 more months of one helicopter. Then ...... I don't know. Rebecca care to elaborate?
Aunt Meg will be starting school this week to get a degree (not sure if that is right) or training for a position in the church. She is also working part time also in the church. Aunt Meg care to elaborate?
Tara is due ANY TIME. She will have a c-section on Thursday. Grandma & Grandpa will be in Rock Island Wed night thru Sunday to see the baby and help out. A girl or a boy..... Thursday will tell. I'm thinking boy but time will tell!
Keep checking the blog and I will let everyone know as soon as I know. Grandma promised to call me and let me know!
Dusty may be starting his program at Walmart soon. I guess they are anxious to get him started.
Grandma and Grandpa are going to see Uncle Steve in New York October 6th thru Oct 10th. I'm glad they are going.

I'm waiting to hear from Jill & Markus how the trip to Denver was.

Please e-mail me at dkmrs@aol.com if you want me to put any news in the blog or comment yourself directly on the blog. Erin explained how in the last blog entry.

Love to all...

Aunt Deb
