Well the girls and I flew into Iowa on Friday morning. Karen (Tads mom) came and picked us up at the airport. Tad and his sister and brother were making some arrangements for their dad. It was nice to see everyone. The girls have been playing with their cousin Payton and just hanging out. Yesterday we woke up to beautiful white blanket of snow... the trees all covered, cars, street, side walks. It was absolutley gorgeous!!! The girls played out in the snow all day... they would come in warm up and then back out again. Payton finally didn't want to go anymore... she lives here and couldn't figure out what all the fuss was to keep playing in the snow :) Today its windy so it is much colder than than 25 degrees it shows.... Yes I am freezing my butt off.

Tad and his family have everything ready for this evening (the viewing) and tomorrow is the funeral. We have been looking and old pictures, and talking about different memories with Oz, its been a nice time... but starting in a couple hours the tears are going to start falling when reality actually sinks in. :( I don't know how Taylor, Tatum and Tori will do when the see their grandpa. Its going to be very sad.

We will be coming home on Wednesday, Tad is staying until Sunday to help get things in order at the house with Bob and Tracy. And then he wants to spend time with his mom by herself. We want to Thank everyone who has sent emails and texts saying your thinking of us... Tad especially appreciates it :) And thanks to the Bauers for taking care of our Doggies, and whatever else Craig has done to help us out. We love you guys :)
Tad and Tami
