Happy 18th Tommy!!!

Hey Tommy,

Happy 18th birthday! I can't believe you're already 18. The older folks say, the older you get, the faster time flies. This is very true.

I can vividly remember babysitting you with Grandma and we would put you in your bouncy seat on the kitchen table and turn the fan on. You were mesmerized, making "Ooohhh" noises and sometimes even pointing. I also remember purposely waking you up so I could play with you. We had so much fun.

I hope you're having a wonderful day and that you have great fun celebrating your 18th!

Love Ya,
Missy

this is what 4 months looks like :)


Hello all,

4 months and growing... Happy to report I'm feeling great these days, just a bit tired. No more nausea!!! Yea!

Dave will begin his 4th week at HSBC tomorrow. So far, he's not liking it because there is no organization and no one knows what's going on. He has some great ideas and plans to implement them asap. He has to work in this position for a year, then he can transfer and work for his old boss from Wamu. He's going to tough it out and knows it will only get better from here. Good news is his boss loves him.

Hope you are enjoying this Easter Sunday. We went to see Dave's grandma. She now has a 24/7 caregiver who is very nice. She's a 32 yr old woman from Mongolia. There's a slight language barrier, but nothing that can't be overcome. Gram is so weak. She was on bed rest for over 5 weeks at the nursing home and came back to her apt. this past Tues. She can't walk at all and can barely pivot from the chair to the bed. And she is suffering with a terrible cold. Needless to say, our visit was short, but nice.

We have snow on the ground. Will it ever end? :)

Hope all is great. Drop a line once in awhile. Would love to hear what's going on day to day.

Uncle Don, how is your remodeling project coming?

Have a wonderful week.

Love,
Missy

our little miracle


Looky what I have growing in my belly? :)
Baby W. is 13 weeks old, due Sept. 8th. Dave and I want to be surprised at the delivery, so we won't be finding out if Baby W. is a he or a she. I'm feeling well, especially since the nausea has subsided, but am quite tired.
Dave started his new job yesterday. So far, so good.
Hope all is well with the rest of our family. I'll keep you posted on our progress.
Lots of Love,
Missy

Whats up?

Hello All,

Just checking to see what is going on. Congrats to Sami and Tommy. It has been very cold here. Bobby's jeep does not like this cold weather. Jim has been driving my truck 8-( to work so he can be on call to give Bobby a jump. We are beginning to believe that he needs to get a new battery.

Dave starts his job in two weeks. I'm sure he is getting excited.

Hope everyone has a good week.

Another Beyer Girl with a Driver's License

Hello to all from Georgia!!!

Well - after hitting only 5 cones, Sami passed her driver's test this afternoon. She was so nervous during the test, we had to wring out her shirt after she passed. An investment tip - invest in Atlanta area body and paint repair shops.

Otherwise, all is good here. Tommy was the co-champion of a local debate tournament last weekend. Two weeks ago he qualified for the Tournament of Champions by making it to the octo round (final eight) of a national tournament held at Emory U. He's off to Harvard next week.

Shawn is very busy with her full time sub position (eight grade social studies) and going to school for her Master's degree in Middle School Education.

Congrat's to Dave about the new job. Good Luck!!!

Brother Jim - Good luck with your new job at NW Transportation. Enjoy your commute.

That's all for now.

Love,
Fred, Shawn, Tommy, Sami, Rayna & Jesse

Hi everybody,

My employer, Hermes Transport, last Friday 1/18, told us employees that Hermes was ending its operation. Of course, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Fortunate for me, a company known as
Nationwide Transportation was willing to take some of the people from Hermes. But for the moment, I'm currently working out of the house until office space opens up - in 7 to 10 days.
One nice thing about this change is that we are setting up the new office right here in Mundelein.
My drive to work is only going to be about 2 miles.
Hopefully this new job will work out, time will only tell.

Bye for now family.

Love,

Brother/Uncle Jim
