Uuuggghhh!!

Well, the last couple of weeks at the Greenwald house have not been pleasant!!! We've been hit HARD by some nasty little virus that seems to be swarming the St. Louis area! It started with Jason on Feb. 7, traveled to Kevin, then Lucy, quickly made it's way to me and is now visiting with Anna - that's 17 days with someone sick! And it has everything . . . fever, headache, cough, sore throat, stuffy nose, etc, etc, etc! Only Gary seems immune at this point . . . I'm not sure how he's managed to escape it! We've even shared it with Nana, Grandpa, Aunt Beth and Jack (you're welcome, guys!!!) Hopefully, the Iowa and Colorado air is germ free for you all! Cause this is NOT fun! We'll be glad for some spring air . . . open up the house, get the kids playing outside, that always seems to help with these winter colds!

Take care! Stay healthy! We love you!

Happy To You!

Happy Birthday to You!! (or as Anna says "Happy to you") GeeGee celebrated her 97th birthday last Sunday!!!! You go girl! We all got together for a family dinner/birthday party complete with GeeGee's favorite foods, cake (there's always cake) and some presents! One of the sweetest gifts of the day was from our giver, Kev! It's hard to think of something to give someone turning 97 who seems to have everything . . . but not for Kev. . . he came up with something from the heart!!! Let me start by explaining that GeeGee is known for slipping a paper clip onto the cards she gives to everyone on their special days. And the fun part is seeing a paper clip on the outside of the card and knowing there's something attached inside (a check, some cash, you get the idea)! So Kev (on his own) fixed a card for GeeGee with a paper clip!!! And then on the inside was a $1 bill attached (that's a lot for him - he only had $2 to his name). GeeGee seemed to love it (check out the picture below)! Love ya Kev!

We are so blessed to have GeeGee with us - not all kids have a great-grandma around (and they still have two great grandmas)! She's such a wonderful person, a gentle, sweet soul! As the kids say in their prayers "Thank you, God, for GeeGee!"

Enjoy the pics . . . it was a great day!

Who-Dey

Call us crazy but we've just added another furry creature to the family!!! Jason has been saving his money to adopt his very own bunny from the rescue home where we've been volunteering! He's had his eye on a special little guy . . . and this weekend (with his saved allowance, Christmas money, and Birthday money) he reached the amount he needed to purchase all the necessary items (cage, hay, food, litter, bowls, etc) and the adoption fee. So this weekend we built the cage, set up everything, then went and picked up the new addition. We even found out he was chosen for a local commercial for the St. Louis Mayor's reelection campaign (it will air locally in March) Jason has named him "Who-Dey" (the name of the Cincinnati Bengals mascot) and is so proud and excited to have this new responsibility/friend!

Introducing Who-Dey . . .

What's up there?

Cool View!

"Ummm, Hello . . . who are you?"

"I think I like this place!"

Jason and Who-Dey!
