Don't Worry.... Be Happy....

Tim asked for new "lounge" pants.  His are all too short... hmmmm.  Well, I could go shopping, but the store-bought ones are all too short too. Sound familiar, Stu?
Time to dust off the old sewing machine, and a trip to Lens Mill Store.  Since Deanna was home sick today, I thought it was a good project for the day.

Family Fotos

Since our last family pictures were taken in 2008, we thought perhaps it was time for an update...
A talented young lady from our church took these.
It's possible one of them will be on our Christmas card this year.


YES, Tim is smiling.  He insists he is smiling.  Honest.

In the soybean field.  Sorry, Mr. Farmer, for the beans we trampled

10.10.10. Part 3 - The Grand Finale (Dinner at Grandma's)

Back to Mom and Dad's for dinner.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous!  We enjoyed a delicious pork roast cooked on the barbecue rotisserie, and we could even eat outside!
Lots of good serious conversations were happening:




 Birthday cupcakes for dessert:
 And a bonfire to complete the evening...
The only thing missing was the Alberta family :(  But we did enjoy talking to them via Skype on Piet's computer!
Much to be thankful for once again this year! 
 Great is thy faithfulness, O God our Father!
