The Ramirez/Anderson clan has been busy. Cheri finished up her final football game cheering for Adrian. It was really sad. They asked her to cheer a few basketball games but Baby Lima Bean is growing like a weed and Momma Cheri can't fit into the cheer skirt anymore so she passed on any more cheering. Amanda and Clint's Peanut is starting to grow and you can see her baby bump now. I have a picture of both of them from Thanksgiving. We just took a trip to the maternity store because neither one of them could fit in their jeans anymore.
Cheri, John, and I are going December 15th to Cheri's doctor and we should be able to find out the sex. I'm so happy she is fine with me going to the ultrasound because it means the world to me. I can't hold back the happy tears when I see my grandbaby kicking and waving its arms around. It is driving me nuts I have to wait until spring to get my hands on them so this helps the wait.
Thanksgiving was nice and peaceful at Jane and Mel's. We watched a movie after dinner in the theater and went home to get ready for Black Friday. Clint, Amanda, Cheri, John, and I headed out at midnight for Kohls and Target. Charlie took off with Mike for their destinations. We came back to Clint and Amanda's and slept for a few hours, grabbed some breakfast and headed out again until noon. I made Thanksgiving #2 at my house and we all went to bed. It was tiring but so much fun. I love seeing all the crazy people, present company included, out shopping in the middle of the night. I got a few things but I just like going to go. Paul did some shopping on his own at his beloved Menards and Lowes.
The rest of the weekend was restful. Saturday I had a migraine, no doubt because of the crazy sleep schedule on Friday. I was feeling better at night so Paul and I, and Cheri and John, rented some movies and chilled at home. Sunday was sleeping until noon and a family dinner before Cheri headed back to school. She will be home on the 9th for a month. I am so happy! I think I worry about her 10 times more because of the baby. I want her here and safe. One more semester in her junior year and she will be home for good. She has 18 credits to take in her senior year and she is going to try to get it done by December and graduate early so she doesn't have to drive 45 minutes to school in the snow next winter. It will be more difficult with the baby but John, Paul, and I can handle him/her while she is in school and doing homework. I don't think that will be a problem in this family : )
Be safe in this holiday season and know we are thinking of you. Have a magical Christmas!
Love Ya, Cindy

Life goes on...
Paul, Clint, Amanda, and John, and I all attended the Alpha Phi Red Dress Gala last Saturday. There is dinner, dancing, and a silent auction all to raise money for women's heart disease. This is a charity that is near and dear to my heart because it took both of my grandmothers away from me. The more research they do, the better chance I have of not following the same fate. I also lost a dear friend, Debby Gregory, to the disease. The research will ultimately help men with heart disease too. As you all know my wonderful husband had open heart surgery last year, ironically right after last year's Red Dress Gala.
Anyway, it was a night of fun with my husband and kids and I am always up for that.
The babies are all growing and the moms are doing great. In about a month or so we should be finding out the sex. I will let you know when we find out.
Check out the post on Jonathan and his rock climbing that is after this one.
Love you all!

Our Jon, the adventure junkie.
Jonathan sent us pictures of his rock climbing adventures in Colorado. Some pictures are with one of his friends (I do not know his name) and some are of Jon and Katie, Jon's girlfriend.
Rock climbing is a serious passion of Jon's and his biggest fear of moving to Oregon is that the climbing is a good drive from where he will be living. At least they have it there. He will never find natural climbing in Southeast Michigan or Northwest Ohio. We are flat terrrain out here. Paul, Jon, and PIII will be going to the Upper Pennisula of Michigan over Christmas break to take on the climbing up there. Good bye and good luck, I will keep my feet on the flat ground. Crazy guys!
