The second weekend of November brought JP's knee surgery and Nama and Pa saying goodbye to head to Texas. We are so thankful for all thier help with coming early and staying with us for 5 days to help me out with the girls when JP was in the hospital so I could be with him. We really appreciated the help, couldn't have done it without you guys! When JP came home, we celebrated an early Karlies birthday andChristmas with them. That was all the girls talked about for days! We had a nice steak dinner and opened gifts, kind of like a Christmas Eve. They left from our house on that Sunday and we will see them possibly in January for a visit for JP's birthday or when we head down for Spring Break in March! We will miss you guys terribly, but cannot wait to be with you for a week in March!!!
