Happy Retirement

My Dad retired from Queen of Peace Hospital in Mitchell after 36 years on the job.  The guy in the back right of the picture is who will be taking my Dad's place.  Hard to believe my dad was that age when he started at the hospital 36 years ago.

This is his office.  Nothing glamorous, but he never seemed to mind.

Here we are following the celebration in the hospital cafeteria.

Jillian's 8th Birthday

Here is the birthday girl earlier this week getting a haircut and her ears pierced.  She was very excited! 

No tears.

Jillian Ruth Eidsness.  Born on 1/13/04.  Easy delivery, easy baby, easy toddler, easy going.  In case you don't know Jillian, she is just plain easy to live with!  She is a perfect fit for our family and we love her!

We had a birthday celebration at our house on Saturday.  We were also celebrating my birthday on the 16th and my Dad's birthday on the 17th.  So we decided to go big and go bowling!  The adult team of Hilary, Pat, Darlene and Jay won.  However I think bragging rights go to Darlene this year for bowling a 114.  She beat her husband, Will and almost Jay.(he beat her by 1)  Having lived with all men most of her life I am sure she is not used to winning very often :)

The kids team!
