Family e-mail 1-4-09

Dear Family; Here it is another new year 2009, happy new year, may your new year be productive, successful, and most of all HAPPY This is the last picture I have of them together. The reason I'm sending this is because I got a call from Jim this past week, he said Dad my not make it to his birthday. He eats very little and sleeps a lot. The best time to call him is in the morning George William Colgrove was born 15 of Jan. 1917 in Eureka, Montana, that means he is in his 92 year of life, not bad, especially as he said, "I never thought I'd live this long". I would encourage all to call and talk to him as soon as possible, he would enjoy that. If there is anything any of you would like to put in his Obituary or life sketch please send it to me as I will be putting that together. My e-mail address is now wylcqlq@gmail.com as the one at ldsliving keeps getting bombed. Our 19th grandchild was born in Hawaii on December 30, Kala to Chris and Heather Rouch. Isn't it great! Will send pictures when I get them. Love to all, Wyl

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas was a reality here in Fort Wayne this year as we had a full gamut of weather this past week or so including Christmas day. It started out with snow then freezing rain then colder than normal temps then more freezing rain lots of it with wind coating everything with an inch or so of ice, then snow , sleet, thunder, lightning, warner temps, lots of rain melting all the ice and snow. Today it was cold and windy again.

We had a Christmas brunch with mom Wesche, Mike, Heidi, Katrina and Izzy, it was nice.

Yesterday we went to a wedding and reception of a relative of Annette's over in Ohio, it was lots of fun we even danced one slow dance together. Than we drove home in the rain and fog.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, Thanks Audra for the pictures and Christmas letter, it would be real nice if we could get more of you to write on a regular basses.

Here's wishing you all a happy new year,
Love to all,
Wyl

Merry Christmas! Mike & Heidi Anderson

Merry Christmas 2008

~

We hope this season finds you all happy and well. May you all have a lovely Christmas and a wonderful year in 2009.

Between camping trips, hunting adventures, the Elders quorum presidency and his job as the Sales Manager at Yost Aaron kept busy this year. Porter adores his dad and loves to wrestle and feed the dog with him every night.

We feel very blessed that Audra has the opportunity to stay home with Porter, a job she absolutely loves! Last year she started designing graphics for digital scrapbooking and was hired this year to design for an online store. That and Porter have kept her busy but she also found time for lots of canning and her church callings doing the ward bulletin, newsletters and ward website.

Porter has grown so much the year & it has been so much fun to watch him learn and all those fun ‘firsts’. He is a very loving child and more than happy to give out kisses and loves. He loves being outside and adores our cat whom he calls “ickles” He loves to cuddle up on a your lap with a book playing fetch with the dog, and hauling his toys around in his ‘CAT’ dump truck. Porter is definitely the light of our lives & always keeps us busy & smiling

Dear Family; Well here we are right in the middle of the Christmas season isn't it great! Annette has the house all decorated, candle lights in most of the windows, tree is up and decorated standing on the sofa table in the bay windows, it's lovely. Mike, Heidi, Katrina and Izzy were over on Saturday to spend some time with us. Katrina was a great help to grandma in decorating. Mike, Heidi and Izzy are in Kansas City for three weeks or so for a job Mike is doing there. We miss them but they call frequently so talk with them and get to talk to Izzy and hear her cute noises. Their cat, Winkee is staying with us till they get back, she has stayed with us before, but this time she is much more sociable. My hope is that more of you will write on a regular basis, that's how we will get to know each other better and grow closer, so please write, thanks. Thanks Geno for your e-mail last week, and yours to Dena, they were both appreciated and enjoyed. Geno I will get you June's phone # and address, you will enjoy her and she you and your family.
