More Holiday Pictures

Hi Everybody,

We've been enjoying all of the postings to the blog. Congratulations Todd, Trista, and Trae! We're excited for you guys! Here are a few photos from Christmas and New Years with our family. Papa Morey was planning on posting pictures of the kids but hasn't gotten around to it so I thought I'd attempt it.

These were the two best shots of the kids at Christmas. Grandma tries so hard to get a picture of all of them together and it rarely happens.

Oh and just to clarify...the plastic shoes Kate is wearing are not hers. They belong to a doll at Grandma's house and Kate insists on wearing them every time we're there.

This was Grandma's attempt at a picture of the grandkids on New Years when we were at Mike and Lindsey's. This is pretty typical of how it is when everybody's together.


And here's little Maddy. She has grown by leaps and bounds and is such a smiley and happy little thing. I don't think there have been any more pictures of her since she was born so I just had to share. This picture is an older one so she has grown even more since it was taken.

And Patti, we did get our first appointment set up for January 26 and 27 at Mayo for Kate. For those of you who may not know, we are heading to Mayo to see if Kate is a candidate for cochlear implants. We found out her hearing is getting worse and her hearing aids are probably not helping her to hear well enough. She'll go through a day and a half of different appointments there to determine if she is a candidate. If she is, we'll go back for surgery in the next month or so. Patti, I'll give you a call later this week as to our plans. Right now, we're planning on going straight to Rochester on Monday but we might need to crash at your place Sunday night if we decide to come early due to weather. Matthew has been asking for the last month when we get to go to Patti's. We'd all love to see you guys! I'll keep you posted.

I'll try to keep all of you posted as to how things go with Kate. Please keep her in your thoughts. Take care!

Love,

Christy

Christy: Just let us know your plans. I'm sure the Mayo has or will send you lots of information about hotels and such. Some hotels are connected by tunnels or walkways to the Clinic which makes it nice not having to find parking. You are definately putting Kate in good hands.

Great pictures -The 4 kids are adorable, and appear to be a handful:) I'm sure grandma and grandpa enjoy staying busy!

Hopefully we'll see you on your visit down here. You can tell Matthew that Nelli would enjoy seeing him:) We'll keep our fingers crossed for good traveling weather!
