Another weekend that went waaaay too fast! Luckily, we finally got the basement cleaned and organized from putting away the Christmas decorations; it was getting to be a big mess down there! I am still in the process of getting my scrapbook room put back together after painting it. I am being putsy and taking my time organizing, which is somewhat unlike me, but it will get done this week!

Unfortunately, Grandma Rose (Russ's grandma) is not doing well. She had to be flown to Abbott hospital from New Ulm hospital Friday afternoon. She has fallen several times, resulting in a black eye, sore tailbone, and a large bump on the back of her head. They are trying to figure out what is wrong. They believe it has something to do with her heart and are thinking she will need a pacemaker. She will be there until at least Tuesday. Your thoughts and prayers for Grandma Rose would be much appreciated.

Saturday, Dave and Natalie Rein came over to play and go ice fishing. Since Twin Lakes is only about 5 minutes from our house, it is a perfect lake to ice fish on. The guys and kids headed out after lunch. An hour or so later they called and I went and picked up the kids so they could play inside. Trent and Addy had a great time playing with Natalie and she was a little sad when it came time for her and Dave to leave.

I received a phone call later that night from my sister Beth. She had news to share...she and boyfriend, John, are engaged! She had always been pretty adamant that she would never marry again, but John is obviously wonderful to her and changed her mind! We are extremely happy for them and will enjoy being part of their wedding in October. They plan on getting married in North Carolina where they met, so we will be traveling for their wedding. Such happy news to end the weekend with :)
