Hi Everyone,

Kaeleen went into the hospital this morning and had labor induced around 10 a.m. Baby Maya Marie was born at 8:55 p.m. She has a little bit of dark hair and dark blue eyes. Andrew says she has his nose and Thiessen ears (oh, no!). I could hear her crying in the background-no problem with the lungs. They hadn't weighed her yet when I hung up. Kaeleen thinks she weighs close to eight lbs. I'll let you all know later.

Love to all, Jean

Hi Everyone,

School work has really kept me feeling overwhelmed. As soon as I think the stress is starting to let up, something else comes up to start it all over again. I really would like to retire but can't afford it for a couple more years at least. Working for WalMart sounds attractive right now.

Kaeleen has just moved into a small mobile home in Windsor, NY-address is 256 Old Rt 17 Lt21, Windsor, NY 13865. She doesn't have a telephone, so I haven't heard from her in over a week. She did promise to call when the baby arrives. I don't know if I told everyone or not, but she is having a girl. Her name will be Maya Marie-M&M for short.

I'm taking a whole week off for Thanksgiving so I'll have plenty of time to travel to NY. Weather permitting, I plan to go to Star Lake for Thanksgiving and asked Kaeleen and baby to come with me, if that's okay with you, Peg.

I hope everyone who is sick or injured is doing okay-Jill, Brian, Dan, Nikki-and those traveling are doing so safely and having fun-Josh, Teri. Watch out for hurricanes and other natural disasters!!! God Bless us, everyone!

Love to all,
Jean
