I'm not scared anymore!

Those were the words that Paul used after he got to see a helicopter up close. For those that didn't know, last November Paul was taken to Children's Hospital-Minneapolis from Cumberland Hosptial in Wisconsin because of breathing problems (croup & rsv). Daddy got to go with him on the helicopter, I was in the airport in Chicago with the thought of going to dinner with Cricket and them to the farm for deer season. It seems in the last couple of months everytime a helicopter goes over our house (which is regular as we are the flight path for Lifeflight out of Lincoln) he freeks.

I called a former firefighter from Columbus who owns a few helicopters for medical and personal use and he said to bring him on by. THANK YOU to Kim Wolfe and Midwest Medical for spending all the time he did with Paul. Kim talked to him about how it works and how it may have been a fright last year but this year was the treat as he got to sit in it and "fly" it. Kim made sure he had a gift bag of a hat, t-shirt, pin, magnets and luggage tag's all with the helicopter on it.

Grandma & Grandpa Littlefield came to visit

Lets start with Friday. Grandma and Grandpa couldn't get here fast enough for the kids! They were VERY excited. I am glad they made the trip but at the same time I worried about Rod. I know the trip wore him out. But---its all the kids talked about that he DID make the trip. Morgan asked a lot of questions this weekend and I think she feels better getting to talk to Karen.

We started making our list of what we are going to get people for Christmas. I can tell you this they have come up with some great ideas!

We have tons of apples and a huge THANK YOU for bringing them from WI. Morgan & I plan to put some more in the freezer tonight. I need to find out how to make apple butter. She asked and I am clueless!

Enjoy the pictures

1943 "3985" Train comes to Columbus

Bryan & Morgan had the chance to see a 1943 train as it came through Columbus yesterday. Here is the video link to the local newspaper. You can even see the kids a couple of times. They had a BLAST! At first neither one wanted to go but as soon as the train arrived they changed their minds!
