BIG HOME COMING

Well, the Montana Heimanns are coming home today. I spoke with John and Melanie today. They are ready to get back home. Can not blame them. Gabe did develope some jaundice and has spend some time in a bilirubin blanket. Things have changed. Now they have these blankets to wrap around them and it does the same as those bilirubin lights. I am so glad that they created something different . I hated those lights. I felt the baby was so exposed and you had to cover their little eyes to protect them from the ultraviolet rays. They say wrapped in the blanket Gabe is like a little "glow worm." They have to take him to the hospital in Polson tomorrow to have his bilirubin checked again. Good thing the hospital is just a few blocks away. John said to look for pictures on the hospital web site, because they took pictures yesterday to post on it. He said when they get home, as soon as he gets a chance he will post pictures.
Better go for now. Dad and I are going to babysit Garret and Lance tonight so Bill and Amanda can go to a Halloween party. Take care and all have a good night. Love mom

GABE'S BIRTHDAY

As everyone knows by now there is a New Heimann in Montana! Weight 8lbs 15 oz. John said that he has alot of blonde-brown hair and long eyelashes.
I talked to John about 9:35 pm and Melanie was in her room--111.
Gabe had already nursed in the Recovery Room.
John just had a cot brought into the room. They will be staying there for about 3 days.
They are at Community Medical Center, Missoula, Montana.
The phone number to the hospital is 406 728 4100 and she is room 111.
Need to try to get some sleep. This has been a long day. John had called me about 6:00 am and told me they were at the hosptital. Since then it has been waiting for phone calls.
This having a baby in another state is difficult!!!!!!!

Also, another thing I am working on is Susan and Justin's move. I have been cleaning out things and all is going well with that project.

Sunday

We had a great day today. As I said yesterday, we were going fishing. The alarm clock went off at 5:30 am. "You did want to go, didn't you," said dad as I laid there. "Sure, let's go".
We were in Palacios by 7:00 am and the wind was blowing. We drove around and Dad did go out on the rocks and fished for about an hour. I sat and read my new James Patterson mystery.
About 8:30am Dad then proceed to show me all the places he had gone fishing with the boys in P alacious and trans palacios river. We did make it down to Matagordia and boy was it different thene we were there. The rain had been moving in all the long the way and the wind was something else in Matagordia. I took some pictures of the rough waves. I took pictures of dad fishing and Sue will be here next weekend so maybe she can help me get them in folders so I can put them on the blog.
From Matagordia we came home through Bay City and ate atttttttt Diamond's!. That was Dads favorite place to eat when he worked the vending route with Svateks. He said that it was alittle lareger and we did enjoy the food. So Dad had a day of traveling to places that he really enjoyed with the family. He would say,:" Don't you remember we came here twice with all five kids to fish.?" I told him I must have been a busy mom than and did not put that down in my memory. But you know he has agreat memory for places and things.
We got home around 1:oopm and than he helped me rearrange the blue room to get a book shelf that I had bought him for his books. I found at a used furniture store and it is perfect. He is trying to collect all kind of series now. Anyone need a book? Come to Robert's Boookshelf
Dad is making steaks for supper even though it is raining on and off. With our little propane grille we have gotten spoiled and love your steaks.
I hope all are well and enjoyed reading about Robert's birthday weekend. By the way, the cake turned out great! Love all

OCTOBER 14

Well, I am trying to post a picture from my camera and I guesss it still did not work. Well, practice makes perfect. We had a good day today. Dad and I went to Walmart and I surprised hem with getting his fishing licsences. Well, he decided to do the whole thing and he got deer , turkey, and what ever. I do believe that I surprised him. Now, I just got through finishing making his birthday cake--German chocolate form stratch. I know why I do not do that cake often. Takes to many pots and pans. Well, I got the kichen all clean up and now Dad will come in and make his tea. Even though they are talking about rain tomorrow, we are still planning on getting up early and going down to Palacios to check it out. As soon as we got home from church Dad was out there getting his fishing gear together. I think I did good by lighting a fire to get him going fishing again.. I have a good book to read, so it should be nice.
I hope all are doing well. I am enjoying keepping up with everyone on the blogs. Keep up the good work and I will try to do more. For now have a good Sunday!

SUNDAY---A DAY OF REST???/

Today was Sunday, Oct. 1 st. Even though it is Sunday Dad fetl like it was time to dig a new burn hole.. I said, " It is much to hot!" He said, " It got to be done and there is a breeze down there. " I felt guilty staying in a cool house, so I joined him. I am trying to down put pictures on my blog that I took today to tell the story, but I can not do it.
Dad brought me an early birthday and Christmans present, a digital camera. He down loaded them down on the computer and now I am trying to get them on here. Help! I neede some teachers.
Well, at least I finally put something on my blog. Dad did get the hole dug and I hauled the dirt on the lawn mower to the front flower bed. Needless to say we are both tired.
This week I am going to work on getting my ticket to Montana. Again, some one call be one afternoon and help me. I know you'll are always busy in the afternoon. My afternoon's will be quite now because Dad goes back on nights.
I posted by favorite beach picture take at Matagordia. My plans are to get an 8x 10 of it and frame it for the living room .. It captures a beutiful sunset for an awesome day.
