Grandma Hoover and Stuart
Video of Grandma Hoover singing to the girls. Same songs she sang to me, only she can't get the words out right anymore.

I've Been Using The Same Christmas Wrapping Paper For Years...and this is why
One year when I was teaching school, I bought the guys soccer balls for Christmas. I am thinking it was like 8 of them or maybe 12. I knew that wrapping them was going to be a nightmare. I was at Bon Ton buying other things like a purse or gloves or something fun that you can buy for yourself when you are single. Shopping was different in those days. By the register there was a display of Christmas wrapping paper. I thought it was a good deal. Something like 3.99 for a pack of 3. Or so I thought. They were in packages of three. And in each package I really liked 2 out of the 3 papers. After all these years I am still thinking about blushing as I tell this tale. I'm going to say I bought like 6 or 7 or I don't know maybe 8 packs of 3. I seriously thought the soccer balls would use up all of this wrapping paper. I wonder what I got the girls that year. Thing is they charged me $3.99 per roll and I was too inferior to say, "Hold it! I do not want this wrapping paper" like I would now. You do the math, this was a lot of cash for a school teacher, probably more than I spent on the presents. I still suffer every year when Nate informs me, "We do NOT need Christmas wrapping paper" He has seen the stash in the attic. And I suffer as I wrap my children's presents in those ugly rolls of wrapping paper that are left. Even the ones that were pretty, would no longer be pretty to me. One of these years we can get some pretty paper. I can't wait!

Feet
Stuart has long fingers and toes. Toes like his Uncle Tristan and his Great Grandpa Amos. He is in the fifteenth percentile for everything except his length, 75%.
He is doing great these days. Very content. Also sleeping so nice and long at night. Nate's Mom wondered if I get up to check on him.
He gets lots of kisses. We feel so blessed.
