Thanksgiving Trip

We spent Thanksgiving up in West Valley this year. We split our time between Grandma and Grandpa Belka's and The hospital with the Stewart family and sweet Bonnie. It was a tough holiday because of Bonnie's illness. She is currently still up at the U of U Hospital fighting to live. Her stability continues to weaken but she hasn't left us yet, and many of us still have hope. We appreciate the fasting, prayers, thoughts and good wishes from many of you. It gives us so much strength so thank you.

Nate is sitting in The "king" chair at the table (grandpa's chair) He made this Indian head dress in preschool and insisted on bringing it to Thanksgiving dinner. It is a wonder that it made the 5 hour drive.

Aunt Ruth, Uncle Louis and my great aunt Irmgard where at the feast. I loved listening to Aunt Irmgard talk, she has lived in so many different countries and is so knowledgeable about many things. She is the sister of my Oma (grandma) who pasted away 5 years ago. Her mannerism reminded me of Oma and made me miss and remember her.

Of course the cousin pictures.
