On the off chance that you Weber's are checking this blog, I just wanted to let you know that I'm blogging my Atlanta experiences in another blog. I would post them here, but it's easier for me to put all my entries in one spot and then just direct everyone there.
So, if you get a chance, you're more than welcome to read some! (I am quite long-winded sometimes, I'm sorry...there's just so much to share!)

IDEA :-)
Hi to all,
It was so nice to receive your Blog, Hannah. Well, I have an idea for a sport for you. No, you won't be able to participate in the winter Olympics, but it is safer than most of the winter sports. You and your friend can play tennis. I can't say you can't get hurt playing the game though, because 2 weeks ago I fell on the court and skinned my knee. Then yesterday in practice, I got hit in the face by an overhead smash. I tried to duck, but the ball caught the side of my glasses, gave me a nice bruse on the side of my nose and knocked the lens out of my glasses. And if you're lucky, you can play the game well into your 80's!!! But you're right, the Olympics are fun to watch.
We are enjoying nice weather here this week. The daytime highs are in the low 70's and the night lows are around 40.
Bernie is coming next Tuesday for a week. We're looking forward to her visit. I hope the nice weather holds for her visit.
Hope you all have a good weekend.
Love you and miss you all.
Hugs,
Grandma

VANCOUVER, 2010
So, my roommate and I are absolutely LOVING watching the Olympics. (Only when we are finished with each day's academic endeavors, of course :-D ) It has prompted us to make so many plans. First of which being that we need to start diversifying our exercise regimen. I mean, these announcers keep telling us that all the good athletes do cross-training. So now we just need a new sport. Luge is out. So is downhill skiing. (Did anybody see that last night? Barely half of those women even made it to the bottom of the hill!!!) And moguls are out...can you just imagine what that'd do to your knees? Ouch! No thank you!! And so the search for a new sport continues. In the meantime, the campus fitness center will do.
Another idea that came up this week: We would very much like to skip classes for the week and drive west-ward until we hit Vancouver, because the TV just isn't quite cutting it! Let me explain...have you seen the commercial where the guy is sitting 2 feet from the TV and has to smack it every few moments? It's an ad something about needing that new TV before the big game? Well, we should have gotten a new TV before the Olympics. It's just gut wrenching to be moments from the finish line in the race for a medal (sometimes I live vicariously through these competitions--it can be so stressful!) and have your TV go to fuzz. But it's really okay, because one good smack to the side, and the picture is back in time to see the results!
Alright, I've got to be going, but I love you all...I missed you at Christmas! Hope all is well!
With love,
Hannah

Update
Hi Everyone,
Just an update tonight to let you know what's going on here. Dad's knee continued to get a little better each day until Sunday. Monday it was worse so he called the doctor. He will have the meniscus (scoped) repaired next Thursday. He has an appointment with the doctor next Tuesday so he won't know any details until then. So, he's been doing a lot of reading and watching a lot of ballgames! (no problem there, ha) I also try to give him a few easy jobs around the house!!
We have temps in the 60's this week. The kind of days that are great in the sun and chilly in the shade. Sounds like we'll probably have our first frost tomorrow night. Dad's tomato plants in his hot house are doing alright. (not great) He also has lettuce planted in the hot house that is up.
It was nice talking to all of you on Thanksgiving. I was especially happy that Lydia talked to me. Actually, she was pretty chatty. We had a nice dinner on Thanksgiving. There were 6 of us and way too much food, as usual.
I am volunteering for 3 weeks for Assistance Services that does a hugh toy drive for the needy. The first 2 weeks the toys are brought to the drop off place and the last week they are picked up. There are so many needy Mexican families in this area. That reminds me, if you want to see a good movie, see The Blind Side. It is really good.
I've been having fun in my tennis leagues this fall. In one league I played (and won) 1 match before the season ended. In the other league I'm playing my 5th match on Monday. It's a super senior league (over 60) and rated 7.0. I'm a 3.0 and my partner is a 4.0 and VERY good. Our record is 4-1. Monday will be the last match of the season. After the new year a new season will start.
Hope you're all doing well.
Love you and miss you,
Mom (Grandma)

My parents are so young and hip...they play games in Starbucks with college kids!
Well, this weekend was Taylor University's annual Parent's Weekend, and let me tell you, it was exciting! My mom and dad came down for the weekend so Saturday after we met up for lunch, we went out and let me give you a small mental image: Gary, Paula and Hannah sitting in Starbucks playing cribbage (I've taken to bringing my board and a deck of cards with me wherever I go...I'm trying to teach these hoosiers that euchre isn't the only valid card game around!) This particular game of cribbage may have been the most exciting one I've played. The game was beginning well--I thought for sure I was going to skunk dad...that is until he played a 28 POINT HAND!! yes...that's right. he had 3-fives and a ten. Then the cut card was a five also...so, long story short I lost that game. It was a bummer but I was excited to witness my dad get a 28 point hand!
Following games we went out for dinner...along with everyone who'd just been at the Ball State homecoming game. Then we came back to campus and the choirs put on a concert following which we had the joy of hearing from comedian Ken Davis--I can't remember the last time I've seen mom and dad laugh so hard!
Anyways, life here in Upland is good--I've just recovered from a cold-bug that took me out of comission for a full day and a half and am now back to keeping plenty busy with 17 credits worth of classes and homework, small group leader responsibilities, training for my new job as a peer-tutor, getting to know the girls on my floor, social events on campus, and of course making time to sleep!
So, I hope this blog post finds the rest of you well!
Love and miss you all,
Hannah

AT LAST........
Hi, Hi:
Well, I hope you all didn't give up on checking the blog. I guess we have all been a little busy this summer!?!?
We had a great weekend with Sue, Rob and Claire. Claire's birthday party was fun. She is such a delight and was VERY entertaining. She certainly is a happy, busy 2 year old. Yesterday after church we went to the Holmen Kornfest and had corn. (imagine that)
This morning I took a long walk, almost 2 hours. I'm getting in shape to walk the half marathon in September with Wendy. This afternoon I went to the chiropractor. I'm getting close to signing off from my accident, last Oct. 1st. I can't believe how long it has taken.
Dad is at Xavier tennis practice. Practice is every day from 5:15 to 6:30. The varsity practice before that so he goes early to watch or help with that. Thursday morning the JV's have a invitational match at Kimberly.
Thursday I'm meeting Sis and Bernie in Oshkosh. We meet at the Outlet Mall and do a little shopping, but it's mostly visiting. Of course we have lunch and ice cream!! We have to do that while we can, none of us are getting any younger.
I hope all of you that going back to school (to study or work) have a great year!
Love and Hugs,
Mom (Grandma)

Holmen Happenings....
Hi,
Well, today is my first official day of summer - "yippee!"
Claire had her speech eval this a.m. and qualifies for services. A speech/lang. therapist will come to our house once a week to start. They will help us with ideas of how to have her develop her speech. All other areas of her development were on target, with her fine motor being her strength. She will have surgery for tubes 6/22and follow ups for that, including a hearing test by the audiologist.
Rob has some time off this week so we're planning to golf tomorrow; I'm playing in a tourney at the country club Fri. so it will be good practice.
I'm taking two classes (5 credits), doing two curriculum projects for work, hoping to get some scrapbooking done, and we have lots of appts. for Claire so our summer will be busy! We'll also plan to go to the local play group, music and art time at a toy store, and hopefully get to the "big pool" once it feels like summer out! Then there's the weekend plans; Eagle River, camping, coming to Grandma & Grandpa's, etc.
Then, it will be fall and time to go back to work:)
Looking forward to Door Co....
see you all soon!
Love,
Sue, Rob, and Claire:)
