Update 4/17/09

Dear Family,
We are sending an update on the Bozek family. Monday Taelor finally came home. The babies are adorable and doing well. Thank you for all your prayers and support. We are all looking forward to coming to the reunion and will start planning our trip in a few months.
Lee will be coming for her Father passed away April 8th. We will all be going to Reno on April 21st for his funeral. We are looking for closure knowing that he is at peace and finally out of misery.
The rest of our family are doing well as they have been a great support in helping with Dad's passing. How blessed we are to have a family that cares and supports each other in all our trials. We love them all so much.

Love to everyone,
see you soon, Lee and Dave

An Update..

UPDATE (Thursday March 26th)

Brooke, the other twin has joined her sister in the childrens hospital. She stopped eating and lost too much weight and has become lathargic. All we can do is pray for them.

Lee just wrote to say that Taelor is doing better. They have removed some tubes from her and she is going to start nursing again! The entire family is thrilled!
Keep them in your prayers!

Congratulations to Billy and Crystal

Billy and Crystal welcomed their twin girls!

Brooke and Taelor were born March 20, 2009

Lee said that they are absolutely adorable, they look completely different. One has dark hair and the other has blonde hair.

Taelor is struggling at the moment because her lungs have not fully matured. Please keep them in your prayers!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

From Dave and Lee

Hello everyone,We are not sure how this will work, but we want to be included in the family website somehow. We are having computer problems, so don't write us off yet.I thought I would fill you in a little on the family.

We are not sure who is coming to the reunion yet, will let you know later on. So far everyone still has their jobs, but as you know it's getting tough out there.

Missy and Jared seem to be doing o.k. Jared has gotten as tall as his mother! Missy is still working for John Muir Hospital. She has changed her last name back to Marquardson, so please address her mail as so. Also, she is now the proud owner of an Aprilia Sportscity 250 Scooter and loves it. She is so cute in her florescent orange jacket and big white helmet.

Terri and Bill and family are doing well. Terri still has her job, but many there have been let go. This of course makes her job harder and busier. Bill just finished duck season, but wasn't a good one this year. He has a new toy hauler and is looking forward to family outings. He's still working hard at Bay Cities Warehous.

Billy and his fiance, Crystal are having babies. Yes, that's right babies. Twins. The twin girls are due the end of this month or April. They plan to get married next spring. Do we feel old?? Now we are great grandparents and Terri and Bill are Gma and Gmpa as well. Their oldest daughter, Jamie is still cutting hair and doing well. Cassandra is 16! She is the proud owner of a yellow bug volkswagon! She saved and knew exactly what she wanted. They found a used one in LA that is like new. Kylie is hunting with her Dad. She is the proud owner of a pink camoulflage rifle we all gave her for her birthday. Of course it has to be pink! She will be graduating from 8th grade this year. Chelsea is still our sweet happy little girl as always with the same little giggle. She is also a proud owner.....of a cute little hamster.

Lana and Henry are still employed and keeping busy with their children as well. Their oldest, Alyssa is still going to school in San Diego. But, she has been layed off from her job like much of the rest of the world. Justin will graduate this year! Yikes! He's not sure where he wants to go to school. Maddie is still doing gymnastics and flitt'n all over the place like a rubber band. Ethan gets to go to pre school and also in gymnastics now and still plugs in to someone by holding onto their ears when he gets tired.

Dave still works with the Contra Costa Times. They have layed off alot, so we just wonder how long he'll have his job. It is a huge struggle for him every day and mentally exhausted when he comes home. Lee is still doing the same thing she's done day after day for 3 years. My Father is amazing. He has such a strong will to live. I won't be coming to the reunion this year because of his condition. But Dave will be there for sure.We believe that Terri, Bill and family and Missy are coming, but not sure about Lana and Henry yet. All are looking forward to seeing everyone. Definately will ask the girls to take plenty of pictures. Grandma and Grandpa feel older everytime we see our grandchildren which averages about once a month for a family gathering. We are so blessed to have a family that wants to stay close to each other no matter what our differences and personalities are. We certainly are all different in so many ways!

Will close for now. Not sure how often we will write for the blog, but will try. Let us know the best way to do this.

Love to all, Uncle Dave and Aunt Lee
