Grandpa Palmer and baby Leyla

We have been so blessed to have a new little person join the Palmer family. Leyla was born March 21 st at 7:30 pm weighing in at 6 lbs 14 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. She is a beauty and has lots of black hair. She looks sooooo much like Greg when he was born. She was taken to the NICU shortly after birth, she swallowed Meconium when she was born and since Karly was running a fever they were worried about her. She was grunting a bit after birth and so they felt like for precautionary purposes she need to be started on antibiotics and kept on oxygen. We felt bad everyone couldn't come see and hold her but always better to be safe than sorry. Her blood cultures came back negative and she was released from the NICU about 3 hours before Karly was discharged and so everyone was able to come home together. Grandma and grandpa was able to go over and hold her the day after she came home. It was heaven, what a sweet spirit these little one bring with them. Love ya Leyla.

SUMMER 2010

What a fun time and a sad time. This summer we had a chance to see our Grandbaby Stella quite a bit as Taryn was out to Utah and Idaho for family reunions, missionary farewells (brother Jace) and sadly her father's funeral. We feel lucky and blessed to have been able to spend so much time with Ryan, Taryn and Stella. We also feel so sad to watch as Scott spent his final few months surrounded by family and friends. Scott was a great man and loved by so many people.
We were also privledged to spend some time with Benji, Ann and their beautiful baby Carson. Ashlie tells everyone she is his Aunt. We love the three Kings. We also were able to meet Trey for the first time, he is Jeff and Kimi Wegners baby. What a cute baby he is also.
Another fun time was finding out we are going to be grandparents for the second time. Greg and Karly are having a baby girl March 17th, Yea!!!!!
In September Jeff and I went to Ohio to stay with Ryan, Taryn and Stells for a few days. We went to the Football hall of Fame, that was actually really cool. Went up to Kirtland to see some of the historical sites, stayed in a bed and breakfast in the Omish country and went shopping to a huge mall. It had all my favorite stores. I didn't know how beautiful Ohio is, all the rolling hills and trees. We had the best time ever.
