More Christmas in Moore, SC

Jan had prepared a wonderful dinner. The boys ate as if they were starving. Aimee ate like a little bird. Then we opened Christmas gifts. The best gift was having the three of them with us. When the Goodmans get together in Columbia, SC on the Saturday after Christmas, we will see them again. You just can't celebrate family too much! Next up is Christmas Eve Service with Nick visiting us.

Matthew and Aimee for christmas

Matthew and Aimee, Mathew's fiance, visited with us on Saturday, December 20 to celebrate Christmas with us. Will, Matthew's half brother, came with them. Matthew and Will are very good friends in addition to being brothers. Matthew and Aimee's wedding is set for September 26, 2009. Will will be best man.

Nick Joins Us 12/8

Nick had a great time with Grandmother. He learned how to use the "white board" in order to communicate with her. On Wednesday, all four of them left us and went to Raleigh with Nick. They flew home on Friday morning.

Minnesota visit 12/6-12/10

Our Christmas season started with a visit from Tony and family from Minnesota. Tony is Jan's oldest sister's (Jane) second son. Tony, Maggie, and Nicholas arrived on Saturday 12/6. We rested on Saturday before viviting with Grandmother Elizabeth on Sunday. We had Sunday lunch with her at the Presbyterian Home in Clinton, SC.

We had a super time with young Nicholas. He was full of energy and never ran down. Jan had borrowed a crib, and toys from our church for him. At the home he used Grandmothers walker as a wagon and we pushed all over the place.

Day 1 More

We were able to spend time with all five grand daughters this year for the first time ever. The girls on the front are Jada and Layla. They are Rick's girls. Those on the second row are Jeff's girls- Cameron, Courtney, and Kyndal. They all live in Florida. Courtney is a freshman in college, Cameron is a ninth grader, and Kyndal is in the sixth grade. Layla is in the second grade and Jada is in kindergarden. The second photo shows that Jan and I were actually there.

Day 1

Jan and Grayson have moved to Moore, SC. Actually that is the mailing address. No one seems to know where Moore might be. I hope this picture doesn't scare you off. It is current and up to date. Actually it is not to bad for a couple of 68 year olds.
