Making Big Papa & Big Amma Proud






The clan showed up in full support for Big Papa today, and you could see the twinkle in his eyes. He was quick to let everyone know that they were his great grandchildren. We can only hope and pray that he sticks around long enough for thier votes. As long as he keeps feeding them licorce and gummy bears I don't think they will mind pulling his lever. By the way, he was given the honor of leading the Legion in the pledge of alligence. Must be an Iowian thing.

Already???????



Amy has already started teaching Tula the finer points in life. Gab sessions with Gabby, a haircut at a salon. What's next? The manicure and pedicures? God bless you Gabby, your a saint (well not yet).

Has anyone seen this ASSistant?





This has been a good quality time week for one of us. No, not me, I have been laid up sick but Amy has picked up the slack. How many times have I told you Julian, DON"T FEED THE ANIMALS!

Meerkat Manor comes to Cooper St?









Thanks to the help of Uncle Jess, these little meerkats have had weeks of fun in thier new manor.

Proud Papa Saint

Hey Bryce, I guess you will be going to Syracuse games in your future with Papa Saint. Jan we need some pictures with a "camera"!!! Am I going to have to come down and take some myself??? Looks like you still have the nack and the best part is you can send them back after you have had your fill!!!! All the fun without the midnight feedings, ear infections and etc..... Glad to see the picture, keep them coming. Wish you were closer so you and Jon could have side by side pictures with your grandson and his daughter. In the future........

Nana sees Ella Jean




Suck up "Jon" and his lovely wife Jenny brought Ella Jean to the City today and stopped to see his favorite Grandmother. I hear she couldn't believe that he didn't use one of her family names this time but then there is alway the next time ..... how does Emmett (Howard's middle name) sound???? Eva, Ella and Emmett to go with Jonna, Jo Anna and Joshua...... sounds good to me! All in all I think it was very nice that he visited and Ella already has more visits to Nana this year than some. I know it made her day after a depressing week hearing about her sister and her family. Jon I just noticed she has her eyes open it must not be time to clock in yet!!!

Welcome Bryce Xavier



We welcomed Bryce Xavier Peterson into the St. Croix Clan at 2:43 a.m. this morning. He was 7lbs. 12 oz. and 21 inches long. Congratulations to Jessie, Papa Jan (or as he says "Papa Saint"), and Ron. We hope you all are doing fine and wish you the best but send us some more pictures to save me a trip, please.....okay Jessie!!!!!

Watertown Wizard from Lowville

It seems Papa's investment in collegiate baseball is paying off!!! His grandson, Sam, recently participated in the new logo contest for the baseball team. Wait a minute I thought Sam was a lacrosse player?????????? I guess baseball is still the all american game, sorry all you lax guys and girls!!!! Go Yankees!!! Rumor has it that Ella has her first Yankee t-shirt. It is about time someone in that household developed some taste!!!

Ella Jean - She's the One




Well we finally made the trip to Carthage to see the new addition to the St. Croix Clan. She is beautiful and has long fingers, you don't suppose Jon will have to give up refereeing because he has a basketball player do you? Oh......what am I thinking they won't allow wheel chairs on the court when she starts playing but at least he will be able to park in the hand-i-cap sections for games. Really she has long dark hair, long fingers and sleeps. We know she gets the sleep from her father anyway!!! I can't tell you about her eyes because as much as I tried with a flash, the dogs tried by barking and her father tried to pry her eyes open she wouldn't. Like I said if she snored she could be a prison guard. A cute bundle of joy.......come on Jessie you're next!!! Don't forget to post or send a pix to me and I will. Congratulations Jon, Jenny, Eva, Josh, Jo Anna and Jonna.
