Hannah and Andy surprised me with a visit this weekend! What a trip it was! 15 hours to FLY from Fl. to OH. Well, fly/ride a bus/fly. I'm sure Hannah will have the details on her blog. We had a good time even if it was short. This was her birthday present from Andy! Of course, we're all excited about the baby. She will have hers about a month after her Aunt Chassidy has her first. This is just a quick note and update. Nathanael did make it to WA. ok and is house-hunting already.Aaron is pushed back to May 24 to leave for boot camp unless they get an open spot and call him one night to go. I hope it doesn't happen that way.
Got to head to bed-I'll add more later.

Update
Hello to all those who check this blog. I have been busy-mantally and physically! I know this gets boring to check and there never seems to be anything new! Sorry. So--I'll give a little update on the Downer family.
Tom has been taking the spinal decompression treatment for a couple weeks now. He is feeling much better and it seems that it is working. The Dr. doesn't feel any more bulging and everything feels good. We're hoping this has taken care of the problem. He sure feels better! He is thinking about taking a class at Sinclair college. It's right near his office in Dayton so he could take an eve. class. He has yet to decide.
I wil be taking a 2 day workshop in Dayton this week as a first step in getting certification as a Doula. I'm looking forward to it but, at the same time I'm a bit apprehensive. It's been so long since I've done any training/schooling. I have 2 years to complete all the required work but, I think I'll have it done much sooner. I may possibly have my first birth to attend (my sis-in-law)- I need 3 that I am the attending doula. Basically a doula is a professional labor support person and the skills are as varied as the women who do it.I may go on to become a midwife assistant if I enjoy this.
Hannah and Andy are doing great-except for the rotten cold Hannah has right now. The Dr. said everything looks fine. They're sort of getting set for a boy I think.
Nathanael is on his way to WA. where he'll be for the next 5 years or so. He is driving so, say a prayer for him this week if you think of him. It's about a 4 day trip if he does it right!
Aaron will be leaving for Marine boot camp April 7. He's excited. His title will be mortorman but, he'll be carrying a gun just like the others. He wanted the infantry and that was the only job available. I can't say I'm excited about it but, I do hope he does well and is a good, clean soldier.
Well, that's the latest. I've neglected the pictures- I'll try to post something interesting soon.
I hope you all have a great day!

SUPER TUESDAY, etc
Are you getting nervous about Super Tuesday, yet? I am! If Romney doesn't do well, we're in trouble. The more I read on McCain-being an awful pilot in the navy(killing 150 civilians, trashing about 5 planes), dumping his 1st wife because she got broken in an auto accident while he was in Vietnam(she kept it from him thinking it would be to hard on him while there) and marrying his mistress 1 month after the divorce, getting his command position in the navy-not by earning it but, because his father and grandfather were Admirals--not to mentuion the McCain/Feingold, McCain/Kennedy, lies and dirty politics against Romney. this goes to show that he even knows he can't win on his own merit. I know Romney has changed positions on some things but, they seem to be real changes, not just for the sake of politics. He also did all he said he would do when he became Gov. and the economy did grow steadily-not blow up-but, steadily. As for him being a Mormon-Harry Reid is one, too--so I think he should be ousted since it might just have a bearing on his thinking and the way he votes-when he shows up to vote.
Yes, I'm very concerned about the elections. I sort of feel that if we get either one of the Dems or McCain that it will kinda be the beginning of the end of mercy for the US. That's just me, though.
Now, on the the etc.-- We will be needing to change the family picture this year.
Hannah and Andy's baby will be here by the end of May- we hope-and Nathanael is planning to marry Becky Pearce on June 28. So, a new picture will be in order.
As for Nathanael- he will be reporting to WA. in about a week. That is where he'll be for approximately 5 years.
Aaron is home and trying to heal right now, He has something out of place in his back so, he needs to get fixed up befor he can proceed with military. I must say- I'm not that anxious for him to go.
Make sure you vote in your primary( whenever that may be for you) and pray for the outcome to be one of mercy!
Have a great day!!
