No News---Just an Update

Hi Everyone!
            Jake you wanted a update so heres your update, I'm Damn Tired of Winter!!!!!
First of all I want to tell Abigail that we hope everything is going OK. We have been praying that it was just a one time thing and everything will be fine. You have such a strong family supporting you that we're sure all will turn out well.
            I don't know how much you all get to hear about the kids so I'll give you a short update:

REUNION NEWS FLASH!

Here is the latest update:

Abigail and the Neurologist

Kevin and I took Abigail to Bismarck today to see Dr. Siriwan, the pediatric neurologist – roads were perfect, sun was shining, Abigail was singing and talking to herself. In some people that’s a sign of senility…in Abigail, it is a sign of “normal.” :-) We got to the clinic exactly when we were supposed to, got checked in and filled out all of the paperwork, and got called back to an exam room at the exact time of our scheduled appointment. I appreciate punctuality in doctors!

Dr. Siriwan was nice. Here's one thing we now know:

Update from Minnesota

Winter seems to be lasting forever here in Minnesota. Today we actually got snow for the first time in several weeks, which is good as it means it is warm enough to snow, but bad in that we are still trying to remove the snow from the earlier snowfalls.

Abigail Update

Hello, everyone! For those of you who haven't had a chance to read Kevin's blog, you'll want to go here first.

Calling all family members!

I have an idea - I think everyone will agree that the blog has become way to quiet!  I am calling on all family members to humor me and agree that someone from each family, once a week, will post something on the blog.  So that means once every six weeks your family will have a turn.  It can be anything but of course I love to see pictures and maybe, before our turn, I will even learn how to post them!  Since Todd just posted the other day we will start with the Fishers - so next will be the Dutke's, then Morey's, Smith's, Koppinger's and then Gustafson's.  I know there is lots of things happening and lots of pictures taken that we can share!

Since Patti started the idea of trivia I have a question - When did Grandma get Boomer?   Just trying to see who has the best memory!

Love to all
Jake

A Few Pics

Hey everyone, I've been meaning to post pictures for awhile now but keep forgeting.  There are a lot more but this is what i had on my phone so I thought I would put them on for now.  Tatum is growing fast and is measuring at or off of most of the charts.  It's hard to believe 5 months has passed already, but its also hard to believe Trae is 3.5 already too.  Trae is enjoying being a big brother and is anxiously awaiting when Tatum can play with him.  We are looking forward to the snow melting and then the reunion to see you all.  We hope you have a great rest of the week and stay warm!!!

THE WEEKEND OF JUNE 25 FOR THE FAMILY REUNION

GOING ONCE
GOING TWICE
GOING THREE TIMES
UNLESS SOMEONE COMES IN WITH A MAJOR CHANGE, I BELIEVE THIS WILL BE THE DATE.

Family Reunion

We are getting close to narrowing down a weekend for the family reunion!  So far it seems the majority are in favor of either the weekend of June 11th or June 25th. Any final thoughts/preferences? Post a comment and let us know.

Also, we've been brainstorming potential activities and one idea that came up was a trivia type game.

To get started:

Not Santa But a Bird Came Down Our Chimney!

Lucky for us, we have two well trained hunting dogs and a brave Anna.

Minnesota Snow Fall!

I'm sure you have all seen pictures or heard about the Metrodome.  Thought I'd send some pictures of what our place looks like.  John and Mary both slept over here.  They didn't want to deal with the city side streets.

As you can see, Nelli is the only one enjoying this.

 

Date for Family Reunion

I am hearing that everyone is in favor of a family reunion.  With every one's summers being busy, and reserving hotel rooms is an immediate concern, We have to choose a date now.  June is the month that seems to be the most popular for this event.  Cassie has to travel the farthest, Lisa and Susan Lynn face the most kids activities, most everyone has job schedules, the cousin generation face friends wedding schedules, who knows when the Norwegians may send Kevin on a mission?, Landon may still be playing football, and we all know Kathy likes to plan ahead.

Our goal will be to get as many as possible to attend, but we know there will always be conflicts with schedules.

Each of the 6 branches of the family decide on your favorite weekend.  Find a member of the family who knows how to respond to this post, and enter your date by December 12th.

Please work with me here!

Patti

Rhett Joseph

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share some pictures of the new addition to our family.  We went into the hospital at 1:00 A.M. on Wed. morning, and on Thursday Dec. 2nd at 4:10 P.M. Rhett Joseph was born.  He was 8 lbs. 14 ounces and was 23 inches long.  He's a pretty big boy.  We spent a couple routine days in the hospital and made it home Saturday just in time for him to watch his uncle Landon's football game on TV.  He was pretty proud.  We are now pretty settled in.  Shantelle and Rhett are doing great, Rhett and Chuck are still trying to figure each other out, and I pretty much have just been enjoying it all.

I hope everyone is doing well and hope you enjoy the pictures.

An Appeal to the Aunts

Kathy, Mary, Patti, Jake, and Audrey--

Would you mind reviewing the "Birthdays & Anniversaries" list to the right?  I want everybody's relevant dates in the list, but I'm missing some and might have entered others incorrectly.  Please e-mail me with corrections and additions at dates@iMoberg.com.

P.S. I'll accept this info from people who are not one of the Morey aunts, too, by the way!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM MINNESOTA

We hope everyone has made it to their destinations.  We are having Thanksgiving dinner here with Frank's Mom and sister and plan to head to the Cabin tomorrow.  We haven't been up since the cold weather and snow so have to check and make sure everything is good. 

Love to everyone and hope you have a Happy Day!

Pat & Frank

Hello to all-

Just thought we would share a few pictures of our newest family member.  We are all doing well and adjusting to the new chaos at our house!!  The boys are very excited to have a little sister:) When we first came home they wanted to feed her some cookies, when we explained that she only drinks milk, Kaden asked where her sippy cup was so he could get her some:)   After being home awhile, Kaden asked when we get to have a boy baby, we told him he had Jordan, he then ask well when do I get a puppy and kitty then -- oh how the excitement passes quickly;)  We hope everyone is well.

Love to all,
Laura

Just Gotta Spout

I see no one is posting again so i thought I would share a little humor with everyone today.  Here is the story behind the pictures you are about to see.  When Trista was pregnant, there was a contest down at the Rock as to when she would have the baby.  Being she went so far overdue only 2 people were left.  One was a regular at the bar that is a huge Vikings fan.  He ended up winning and said he wanted one of the barmaids to find a Viking outfit and give it to Tatum and then he'd keep the rest.  The only stipulation was that, being I am a huge Jets fan, I had to take a picture of her in the outfit.  Well just so all of you Viking fans know, we Jets fans are way smarter than we look.  As you are about to see, I think i won this one!!!  Oh, and Tatum also had a major blowout in this outfit and ruined it so that was VERY fitting!!

She's Here!!!!

Well, I'm sure some of you have heard the good news, but for those who haven't . . .
