Looking Good Mom!

Congrats Mom!

Our mom is awesome. She ran in a 5K with me on Saturday and finished not too shortly behind me. Not only did she finish successfully, she was the fastest in her age group. Way to go mom!


I had lots of fun, let's do it again.

Jeannie

Mommy loves to snuggle!

Emma is home!

We have made it home with our little darling! She is doing so well. We love her so much and can't wait for all of the big and little surprises she has in store for us! She is a typical newborn - eat, sleep, eat, sleep. So far she has been rather calm and not too fussy. We both are waiting for that to change! We had our first pediatrician check up today and she is down almost a pound, but doc isn't worried because the milk truck came this morning and will hopefully help her gain weight. David and I are doing well. I am not a fan of c-section recovery. It is really hard to be helpless and sit back and watch David do all of the work. He has been an amazing daddy and husband! We are both sad that he has to go back to work on Monday. Most of his time off was spent at the hospital. We had Emma on Monday at 5:36. She was 7lbs. 13oz. and 20 inches long. We finally came home Wed. night at 7:00. We are enjoying every minute even though fatigue takes over quite often, we know that time will fly by. We love her and can't wait for all of you to meet her!

Love and miss you,

Jill, David and Emma

When is that Baby Coming??????

Just a fyi

Am going to post a short note to let you know that Steve Stluka has been ill. He and Tab were visiting a college friend of Steve's near Aberdeen when he suddenly became faint, dizzy, weak, and his arms/hands were numb. He said he really thought he was having a heart attack or a stroke. Guess they hurried him to Aberdeen to the hospital-- couldn't find much wrong except for a high BP. So they let him go home.

On the way home he had another spell, and ended up in Parkston in the hospital. He said they did an EKG, had him wear a heart monitor, and did lots of checking. The concensus was that it was an unusual reaction to his blood pressure medication, he had had no heart damage, ( the doctor told him he was lucky he was 34 years old and not 64). So he is back home waiting for the medication to wear off and then will probably get another kind of BP med. He says he's thinking no meds would be better!!

You don't often see Steve look worried, but he obviously still isn't feeling the best. Keep your fingers crossed for him!!

Other wise not much else new. The guys are just about done with sileage cutting here, then will cut for Sonny and Steve, I expect. Hope all is well with you all. Jill, Steve was wondering how you were doing and when that baby is coming. Love, Mom

Happy Anniversary Dad and Mom Kriz!

Feels like fall!

Hi everyone! Just thought I'd post a note to say "hi" as it seems like a long time since I've seen all of you. Hope everyone is doing well.

We aren't doing too much out of the ordinary down here. Kevin's playing guitar and watching Notre Dame football, I had a race on Saturday, and Kade is enjoying school and had his second flag football game tonight. I froze while watching; it definitely had the feeling of fall weather.

Well, that's it for now. Take care!

Happy Grandparents Day

Happy Grandparents day mom and dad!

picking plums and such

Was a rainy, drizzly morning today so it seemed like a good time to 4 wheeler out to the plum bushes on Thompson's. Noticed yesterday when I was riding, that the plums were nice and ripe, and some had already fallen off the tree. Decided that by the time we get back from next week they would probably be gone.

I had forgotten how quiet and peaceful it can be, just oneself and a bucket and endless free fruit for jelly. Picked a whole bucket in no time and now they have become 5 nice pints of jelly for the winter. My favorite kind of day!!

Have been spending the day chasing chickens out of the yard as they have found the grapes and after they get done eating at the top of the grape vine, they fly in the yard to scratch in the flowers. I'm starting to think about chicken soup. Won't turn them out so early tomorrow.

Dad had the sheep escape last night from Vince's and had to trail them home from somewhere toward Lake Andes. Must have been an uncooperative animal day today.

Nothing overly earth shattering here-- Just wish you all a few peaceful moments like mine in the plum thickets-- Love, Mom
