The trip to Iowa was great. Nice visit with Aunt Johanne & Uncle Thorvald, Uncle Chris & Mary Riber and fun staying with Dad & Ev for 3 nights. Lois and I even squeezed in a little shopping, both for cross stitch stuff in Des Moines and Amish baskets in Clarion, IA.
The unexpected route home includes a stay tonight in Durand to help Kris take care of Anders. Lora has an infection of her intestine and there was an ER visit in the middle of the night for Kris, Lora & Anders. These infections are becoming more common after post surgery antibiotics. Lora will be in the hospital for at least tonight so Lois has been tending Anders and I've been doing other minor house chores to stay busy. I'm not sure if we will go home tomorrow or Tuesday.
Here is a short video of Anders that I took on November 27th, 2008. He's a cutie. Even better, his Mom is back home from the hospital and feeling better!
