Corvallis and just say that when all was said and done young Josef had met 45 new relatives, including his great-grandma, and most of the really special people in our lives that live in Oregon. \u00a0It was a spectacularly successful visit! \u00a0Our thanks to everyone who was a part of it, ESPECIALLY Gramheart and the Monroe family. \u00a0We love you all!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div
