We got a good one from the Soviets!!

By Pam Jorgensen -
Nastia Liukin - born in Russia, father was a double Olympic Gold medalist in gymnastics for the Soviet Union...but Nastia won GOLD for the United States of America.

I know that Shawn Johnson was the favorite to win but I really hoped that Nastia would do it. She is so long and graceful! She's taller than most of the other gymnasts which makes her look so beautiful during her routines. I'm really glad she won.

Shawn is no Igor, however. What an amazingly athletic little girl she is! It was fun to watch her racing down the mats to tumble or vault or fly!

I love the Olympics!!

Has my absence made your heart grow fonder?

By Pam Jorgensen -
Just wondering... I'm back I'm behind I'm intimidated There is no way that I can "catch up" with this blog.  It's a daunting task.  It's one reason I'm so far behind!  I want to post but then I see the enormous amount of time and posts that have past since my last and I walk away. So...I will sum up.   Sorry...wordy and no pictures. After our fun trip to Moberly, MO, we joined Jen, her kids and Gma J in a caravan to SLC for the Plewe Family Reunion.  We were so excited to be traveling with family making travel life more fun with cousins!  We did have fun but the hellish travel trends continued to plague us!  At one stop Gma locked her keys in the car...we waited for a LONG time till AAA could come and break us in.  This put us into our first stop pretty late but nothing unmanageable.  However, when we got to our hotel in Cheyenne, WY the hotel we had a reservation at (and called to confirm just a couple hours before) had given our ...
