Grandparents Stories by Elena & Deacon

Elena goes to the 3rd and 4th grade class for reading and writing so she had to write a story and read it to all of the grandparents with the other older kids. The K,1,2 class usually just sings songs so I had no idea she would be reading her story. She read it really well, with tons of expression and the people were cracking up! I really wish I would have had the video camera. ~ Greta (if you can't read the stories, click on them and they will show up bigger on a new page)

Baby Obadiah





Linda & Obadiah

There is an IV in his head to help him regulate his blood sugar, they were hoping to have that taken out Sunday morning and be released Sunday afternoon.



Zedekiah was more interested in the "none" rhymes with phone
