Thankful for........

Well that is a huge amount of things and so I am only going to put down a few here.

-Heat.  it is getting cold and I'm so thankful for the heater that makes my house comfortable to live in all winter.
- The big tree in the back yard this is taller then the house.  I hope it never falls, it keeps the house cool all summer with us hardly ever running the A/C.
- Windows that let the sun in and when open the fresh air.  I love looking out on the world and even do without curtains on the north side because of all the bushes surrounding the house.  The north side is the dark side of most homes.
-Kids.  I wonder about this as they yell and scream at each other about every little thing they don't like about one another.
- David because he goes to work everyday to provide what we all need and only wants some pocket change in exchange.
-Health because without it you have nothing.
-Family even though I get frustrated and tired of them some days, I'm almost sure I never make anyone tired of me.
-Books, I love to escape and live another life, if even only for a few minutes here and there.
So there are a few and many others I have in my head.  Thank you to my Heavenly Father for all of these and the all the rest.

Goofy JT

7th Grade tour of the U of M

 Zeke found Jordan and Cory in the same cafeteria we had lunch in during our tour, this campus has over 52,000 students so I thought this was huge, we also ran into 3 other Austin students.

I spent a Friday watching 7th graders on a tour of the University of Minnesota, we walked over 2 miles while there, it is a huge campus with a bridge that spans the Mississippi, that is a walk on its own.  Fun trip, I'm glad I was able to go as a chaperon.  I has a fun talk with two of Zeke's teachers on the way up and back, both also had Gunnar.  That was an interesting talk and then we talked about Eagle Bluff coming up in February and I want to go...please...3 days in the snow and ice....what could be better?  This year they are adding archery...

Sleeping Beauty

JT and Halloween

His mask was hot so he kept taking it off and then putting it on, sometimes upside down.  Zeke and Cenny had after school activities and so they missed the fun at Hormel.  We then headed to Comforcare to see Toby and trick or treat there.  The night wasn't really cold or warm for that matter.  We hit the Anderson's house for dinner and then a few houses and still ended up with way too much candy.

Qatar is scary

Qatar scared several children with this look at the Hormel Trick or Treating.  Their poor little faces were dropping when he walked in the door and then the tears and screaming.  He took it off and still gathered candy.
