Grandpa is doing well. Grandma looks tired but so far so good. It was nice finally getting over there to see him.

Otherwise life has been hectic as usual. Tuesday night is dance night. Abby loves it. She fights going at first because she might miss something on TV(ADDICT!) But she always has so much fun. She is battling a cold but hopefully it will end soon. We are still dealing with attitude. We had a family meeting the other night and told her we would not put up with it. We explained how we should all act and that is what is expected. We also told her if she does not act like she is suppose to there will be consequences. She has gotten a little better. She blew a gasket last night and lost her TV for today. She was much better today. We also put in affect that the TV goes off at 7:30. She then needs to read and get ready for bed. She did good with that tonight. It is 8:05 and she is in bed! Hopefully she will get up better in the morning.

We also found out this week that John has to have back surgery in March. It will be in Omaha so I will have to take some time off from work. We will probably have to keep Abby out of school during that time since we don't have anybody that can stay with her. We will talk to her teachers in a couple weeks during conferences. John will have to be off for about 2 weeks afterwards.

Other than that not much going on. Hopefully Saturday we get a bunch of cleaning done. I told everybody it was Ullrich family cleaning day. We so need to get organized again!
