Say 'cheeeese!'

Oliver looking like a little cheeseball. (And this is after the haircut!)

Eli's 6 months pics.

My friend took Eliott's 6 month pictures, and again, they turned out great! There are many more on our blog.

John's knee update

We just got back from the Orthopedist in Brainerd, Dr. Robertson. He gave John's knee a shot of cortisone. He said it should take affect by the week-end & should be good for about 2 months. Obviously, that is a temporary fix.

He has a tear in his meniscus (the cartilage around the knee). He could have arthroscopic surgery to have it removed but the doctor feels that it might not help because the primary problem is arthritis. The MRI showed the cartilage is worn down more on one side than the other. A special knee brace to push his knee joint over to the side with thicker cartilage may help. So, he has some options. We will play it by ear but he will probably end up having a replacement. He will see the doctor again in one month.

Moren Family Reunion

Hi Everyone,

Is anyone interested in having a Merle Moren Family Reunion sometime this summer? It would consist of Grandpa's siblings and their kids and grandkids.

Thanks!

What a good helper!

It's getting harder to change Eli, he thinks he needs to be sucking on his toes all the time!
