News from the Pacific Northwest

Hello All,

Tammy (Fellin), daughter of Madie and our late brother Bernie, posted this in the comments section a few days ago.  When I found it, I thought it might get overlooked so am reposting it here:


"One can't always count on a new grandma, so news from the FeLLins is coming from another source: Maudie and Tammy decided to weigh in.

First things first. We had a relatively tame group at Tammy's for Thanksgiving; only 13. Maudie came from Spokane. She picked up grandson Kyle from college at about the mid-point - Ellensburg, WA. Steve, son Dan and current girlfriend Pamela made it from Portland. Glenn came up from Eugene, Oregon and Doug and Cecile joined us from Seattle. The Langstons rounded out the baker's dozen.

Sandi tells us she's working, but with a brand new grand baby, it's hard to know if she's just over there staring at the precious package. Dellah Marie Westrope was born on November 17, just one day before her daddy's birthday. I'll forward via text a couple of the pictures so you can admire her, too.

Maudie gets to stay with us in Olympia for a few more days. Hooray! We're heading up to the annual cookie exchange at Doug's this weekend, so she and Cyndi baked cookies most of the day yesterday. We'll plan to retrieve Dick from the airport tomorrow as he returns from visiting family in California.

It's been a bit chilly and foggy but the roads were good for all the traveling. Rain expected in the next day or two."

And Tammy did send some photos of this precious and beautiful new addition to the family line.





The baby is absolutely gorgeous just like her father, Tyson, who is the son of Sandi.  Congratulations on this wonderful event!
