Cody Tyler Waldman

On Tuesday, February 8, J.D. and Amy had another son, Cody Tyler Waldman, at 8:32 a.m. Cody weighed 8 lb 10 oz and was 21 inches long. Mom, Dad, and baby were to go home from the hospital tonight, 2/9.

I haven' t been able to get in to post, but O.K. now that I sent a comment. Perhaps because I haven t posted for a long time.
Yesterday I went up to Steve's and found four Indiana guys there. Kerry Lynn, Jared & Josh and friend. They all, plus Steve and Steves friends left last night for the West to go snowmobiling. They are just west of Yellowstone at Island Park, Idaho. Hope they all have a wonderful time. I'll miss them not being here as they usually snowmobile here every winter. Hello to all Sink Family from the cold tundra of Minnesota. I'm ready for spring. Suppose to get cold again. zero during the day and down to - 20 nightime for four more days.

Sink Family Cradle

How many of you have slept in the cradle? How many of you have pictures of you or your baby in the cradle?

We briefly talked about how great it would be to collect all of the different baby pictures and make a little album to keep with the cradle.

If you have a picture, please send it to me! You can scan and email or take it to Walmart/Walgreens and have a copy made. I would love to see all of the pictures together!!

Christmas Families 2010

A little late here, but I just got a new computer and it's been a hassle trying to change over. I am missing a receipt, so some of the items will not have prices listed, but you get the idea.

This year was a little nerve wracking as we collected money. We had committed to three families that had been suggested to us and after buying the first family a tree, we only had about $750 (compared to our average of about $1100/year in years past). Combined we had 3 families, with 9 children so we were hoping for at least $100 per kid. In the end, a few people really stepped up and we rounded out at $900 total.

FAMILY #1 - Family needs unknown, even to the family member who suggested them. All we knew was that the parents were unable to buy for their kids this year. We gave the family member that suggested them the $400 to allow the parents to buy for their own children since we did not know what to get them.

NOTE: We received a note from the family thanking them for a wonderful Christmas. They said the kids were not expecting anything, so it was quite a surprise on Christmas morning!

FAMILY #2 - Single mom, 2 girls, still struggling through divorce from dad and just finishing up her last semester of nursing school. We started off by buying them a tree and a few ornaments in November. Thanks to Kevin & Jan for donating lots of Christmas lights, one less thing we had to buy!

I'm choosing traditional. I'm afraid of receiving a live chicken from someone.

Is the Sink Christmas gift exchange to be traditional or white elephant?

Sink Christmas-Plus

Merry Christmas to all....
Jan and I will be hosting the Sink Family Christmas this year and we would like to extend a warm welcome for all to join us on Christmas day at 5:00PM. Please bring something yummy to share at our evening meal. I thought it might also be fun to share some Sink family Christmas memories from years past...please be thinking of some special memory that you would like to share. If you can't join us but would like to share a memory, you can e-mail it to me at smith9655@gmail.com and I will pass it on for you. We will also be having the popular Sink Family gift exchange later in the evening. We can't wait to see you all.
There is still a little time left to get your donation to Stephanie for our adopted Christmas families. The girls went out on a limb this year and adopted 3 families that they found. We are a little short and any donations are greatly appreciated. Last year we gathered $1100 and we are $300-$400 short of that this year. We have been so....blessed as a family, and it is an incredible blessing for those we touch. I think of this passage of scripture when we do this every year.
Matthew 25
35 'for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;
36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.'
37 "Then the righteous will answer Him, saying 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?
38 'When did we see you a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?
39 'Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'
40 "And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'
