well, we are getting very close to letting grandma stay alone, we left her twice yesterday for an hour at a time and she has proven to us she is walking more stable and she almost independent,. she did scare us today but all is fine. she took a LONG nap this morning but nora stayed home from church and sat at the house she got up and took a shower while nora was in the bathroom and helped very little. so maybe we will just be in the house tonight maybe let her be alone. she hates all the hovering but we had to be sure. we told her about my cousins loss of her daughter yesterday and she was glad we kept it from her. i think thats why she couldnt sleep last night. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE, I HOPE YOUR YEAR IS A GREAT ONE. SOOOO PROUD OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND YOUR WILLINGNESS TO GROW IN YOUR FAITH. WE MISS YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE, ENJOY YOUR YEAR CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU AND ADAM SOON I HOPE. NOT SURE WHAT DAY YOUR BIRTHDAY IS BUT I SAW WHAT YOU GOT. HA HA. LOVE YOU ALL. AUNT KATIE
