Packer Party
Anyone going to Lambeau Field to watch the Packers beat the Giants on Sunday? Anybody go up and help shovel Lambeau Field? I think I'd much rather watch the big game on TV than have front row seats! Baby it's cold outside! For our beloved in the Southern States, it's 11 now (Friday 5 p.m.) and expected to be a high of 6 on Sunday. Now that's what you call loyal fans!
PS Who's having the Packer party?

I knew it!
God spoke to me today.
Ok, before you think I'm totally nuts (well, I probably am, and you probably already know I am), today of all days I was thinking about Lance and Michelle and the new baby. And I knew what sex the baby is. It just came to me at Woodmans. And I knew it. Not like a "I think it probably will be..." but a "I know it is..."
So when I got home from Woodmans, there was a card in the mail from who of all people, Alice... and on the outside of the envelope was written,
"It's a ...."
I won't tell the rest. You'll have to call Lance or Michelle or Alice or Denny to find out. But I knew it first. Well, after God. Then Lance and Michelle... and then Alice... yah, yah, yah, maybe I didn't know it first, but I knew it before they told me.

Countdown to Retirement
This one's for Linda:
You often say you can't retire until you turn a certain age. So here it is... your own countdown until you can quit your job. Actually, this countdown is for us, since we're hoping that you'll move closer to Janesville when you quit!

Get together at Dawn's
We had a great time at the get-together at Dawn's house when Alice and Denny came up after Christmas. Wish you all could have been there, but we know the snow that day kept many from coming. We heard Allie (their dog) got to see her first snow ever. We miss you Alice and Denny! I say we all move to Tennessee and escape these Wisconsin winters!

January Events
Happy New Year
Can you believe it is 2008? I remember a long time ago thinking the year 2000 was so far off, that it would be forever until it arrived and that the world would be so different. While some things have changed, most things are the same.
What did you do to ring in 2008? April spent the night at a friends party. Kali went to bed early because she had to work the next morning. Louie and Louka and Tammy spent the night at home, and about 15 minutes before midnight, Louie and Louka were both snoring.
We heard Grandma Linda spent it at home, sick.
Hopefully, 2008 will be as calm as the way it was welcomed, but with good health.

Christmas Parties
Wow, what a happy, busy Christmas. The Pomplun family enjoyed several parties through the season.
On Christmas Eve, the immediate family (minus Grandma plus Jasmine's boyfriend Eric) attended worship at 10 p.m., followed by a roast beef dinner at their home, opening a few gifts, then a dip in the outside hot tub. Later that evening (morning) a trip to the ER for Rose led to a delay in the morning's activities. (See another post on Rose.)
After Rose's return home on Christmas morning, the immediate family awoke and opened gifts.
At 1 p.m., they traveled to the home of Bobby and Judy Atkinson in Janesville for a Dennison family Christmas celebration, where a feast was held. (If anyone has pics of this, please contact Tammy.)
At 4 p.m., they traveled to the home of Paul Pomplun (Louie's brother) in Janesville for a Pomplun family Christmas celebration where another feast was held.
On Thursday, the 27th, they went to the Cronin home to visit with Alice and Denny from Tennessee as well as Judy, Curt, Kimmy and the babies. After they left, they went to visit with Teresa Kimberley at the Kelly House.
On Sunday, Dec. 30, the Pomplun family traveled to Delafield, WI to celebrate Christmas with Tammy's mother Linda Babler and sister, Lisa Weber, at Lisa's home. Another feast was held, gifts were opened, and the kids had a great time playing together, especially six-year-olds Louka and Jonathon. Olivia thrilled us with her peteranswers.com physic website and everyone enjoyed playing Monopoly.
On Tuesday, Jan. 1, the Pomplun's had their friends, the Alisankus' over for a Christmas celebration.
Christmas was a pain in the back for two
Christmas was a pain in the back, so to speak, for both Kali and Rose, who both injured their lower backs around the holiday. Isn't it ironic?
Rose of course injured hers Christmas Eve. We aren't sure what happened, but it could be because she had been wearing some cheap tennis shoes without adequate support. At Church service Christmas Eve she could hardly walk. Then she spent the night with the Pompluns, on Louka's extra bed, which is a twin mattress with no box spring. That night she woke up in extreme pain, unable to move.
A few days later, Kali's back started hurting after she arrived home from work. The pain for both, they say, was severe, with shooting pains down their legs. We were concerned that it may have been something viral, since they both had the same prob days apart, thought maybe it could be something like spinal meningitis, but the docs said no, that is in the neck area and involves a fever (neither had any flu symptoms), and that they had never heard of a virus causing lower back pain.
Both are receiving chiropractic and physicians care.
