Andrew Martin Odneal


I have a new 'favorite' nephew! Born yesterday - January 30 - to Justin and Samantha.
8lbs 7 oz 20 inches long
He's adorable already!

A Beautiful Mom to Be!




Ashley is only half way there! I was teasing her, it looks like she might have more than one in there. She goes for an ultrasound on Weds. and I think it's safe to say the Odneals are hoping for a girl!?! But it doesn't really matter - - - a little Cole, can you imagine?!
(on a side note - I think I've finished my blogging for the month Dad!)

Tyler Basketball


Brian and I traveled through a snowstorm to see Tyler play basketball yesterday. We saw about 5 cars in the ditch, but Brian insisted the roads were fine! I'd already canceled on Tyler for bad weather, sickness etc. So I really had to make it this time! Wapsie Valley won 47 to 25 - it was a
great game to see.

The One!! ....



that didn't get away! Rick and Bart got this on the Cedar River backwater - ice-fishing - yesterday. It's a Northern Pike, 39 inches long and approx. 16 lbs. (Hope I got that info right)

Boring Blogging


Dad's bored with my blog! Well guess what ME TOO! We are all about medical issues these day - and tons of paperwork. David did come and spend some time with us on Sunday but SLEPT the whole time. Yup - we're THAT boring! (He took the dogs a way for awhile tho.) Haven't even taken the camera out for a couple weeks - who wants pictures of snow?! So Happy January! blah

The King's Speech



Lisa and I had to drive to Cedar Rapids to see this movie. I don't know why we don't get the critically acclaimed movies here!? but we don't. I'd heard a lot about the movie and it's COLIN FIRTH - so it was worth the trip. Anyway the movie was really great - highly recommend even if you don't like CF - - what??

Happy Birthday Mom!
