Hi Friends and Family,
Saturday morning in Wichita is beautiful and not so cold. I was asked at a staff meeting this week, "who is writing the blog next week?". My staff wanted information and knew the girls would not be up to writing, so..... I am getting a lesson on how to do this, now I just need to remember. I have been so pleased and amazed at the interest in using the blog. What a wonderful way to get the news out.

This morning Deanna left early to watch Micheal and Angie's children to 4H demonstrations and project talks in Eldorado. Great that she is close enought to do this, living in Ohio much is missed. The Stika boys will go to John's family for a couple of days after the surgery. I will admit that I am nervous about next week, but my girls are so confident that all will go well that I feel the same. Their father is so proud of them!

We are all looking forward to being together this weekend, I am sure we will have several "kodak" moments.

Thank you too all of your prayers and love, without them this would be a very lonely time. This morning three boxes arrived from John & Deanna's church in Orriville, Ohi0 filled with items that will be used in the next couple of months. With 5 kids the snacks will come in handy. We are all great readers and now we have many books and magazines to choose from. I play alot of solitaire and there is a deck of cards. What a wonderful church family they have, I appreciated the many notes that was sent. So thoughtful, thank you. With all of you praying, the time will pass quickly and soon we will be back home with healthy lives.

I will write Tuesday and until the girls can write. Again, thank you and love, Norma (mom)
