Cory, Kristi, Greta and Baby Boy Berkram: February 2009

Kristi, Greta and I traveled to Billings/Roundup this past weekend to visit my step family. Mom and Roger came down from Cut Bank and we met in Roundup on Friday night. My stepbrother Jason coaches the Roundup Panthers girls basketball team. We watched them play the Lodge Grass Indians. Sadly, a win was not in the cards that night. When we returned to Jason and Lynette's home on Friday, it was determined that Michaela had gotten the chicken pox. After a mad scramble to determine the liklihood of G catching it, we decided to stay at the Crosby's house in Roundup. They are good family friends with the Larson clan and were out of town. Many thanks to them for the hospitality. We are told that infants as young as G are highly unlikely to contract the virus. With Greta nursing, the chances are much less. We will cross our fingers and hope for not catching that bad boy. There is a time and place to get the Pox and this is neither.

Saturday we went into Billings to watch the other half of the twins (Madison) play basketball at Senior High. She won all 3 games and played very well. Jason stayed home with Michaela and had to travel to Moore to coach Saturday evening. We did some shopping, bought Greta too much stuff, and went to the Hickey's (my stepsister Brandy and her husband Eric) for the evening.

It was a great to see everyone and show off the G a bit more. We need to make a better effort to get together with them more often.

Thank you to Dan and Sherry for taking care of Bentley and Wrigley for the weekend. It is so nice to know they are well taken care of when we aren't with them.

Greta with Kade and Ty. They are so great with her and she loves hanging out with them. Ty "removed" one of his loose teeth. Kristi and I will have to draw straws when that time comes.
