Here are the kids for Winter 2007. Andrew is now 16 1/2, Logen is 19, Kami is 12teen and Jordan is 11. This will be the last time they are together until next Aug. when we go out to VA to visit my sister, mom and Logen at my sister's house. They have grown so much over the past year and all are doing well. We hope all is well with everyone and thier own families.

WELCOME HOME LOGEN

Logen came home in December after being gone for 2 1/2 months. We were able to go to the airport to greet him with balloons and signs. There were many other people there with signs and balloons, but they were welcoming thier highschool students home from a mission's trip. When Logen started down the concourse towards us I didn't recoganize him at first, then Jerome said "There he is" and as any good mother would do I started cheering and yelling and Woo Hoo-ing. His girlfriend Nikki was able to go with us to welcome him home. He is home for two weeks and then leaves for Dover AFB in Deleware. We were able to help him purchase a car so he will be able to drive out there. It won't be as hard to say goodbye this time. He will be about 2 hours from my sister & brother-in-law and family. He will also be able to use a phone~yipppeee!!!

"Have you ever had your blood pressure taken before?"

For my last clinical class of the semester in my nursing program we, the nursing students, held a mini health expo for the rest of the GRCC population. We took manual blood pressures of passing students. It was good to practice our skills. Most hospitals have autmatic b/p machines now, so we may not get another chance to hone this skill in another setting. Besides our expo, it didn't hurt that the culinary dept. was offering free high protien food at a table close by as an inncentive for students to particitpate. Everyone knows how college kids love FREE food and will do most anything for it!

Hunter Boys~2007

I suppose it would be helpful to identify who these Hunter Boys are. They are the Niedzwiecki Brothers: from left to right~ Tadju, Jerome, Carl, Steve, Gene and Gary. Each year they head north for annual pilmagrage and hunt of the big WhiteTail. This year a few had luck shooting one. Each year they get older and the younger generation of Niedzwiecki Boys join the hunt.
