WOW Its been quite some time since my last update... I have been threatened by my good readers that they wouldn't be returning unless I update.. So... here it is!!

Bear and I hard at work, as the cold winds blow...

Anna J. Shooting the arrow... It was so good to see them the other day!

It was a wild drive home!

Sometimes you just cant get enough of the good stuff.. That Freddy knows what o go for first!

Oh what a wonderful time of year!!.... if you enjoy snowball fights ;-)

A Stack O dice//

Poochy lip decease

Training the yougins how to work on the furnaces

Such a happy little dawg

A walk through downtown Rochester with the A's

Our dear mother slaving away for hours making bread... all to be gobbled up in mere moments!! A fine specimen of motherhood she is!

sliding about on the pond.

We had a forthsem birthday party the other night... it was such a enjoyable time...

I liked this picture of Audrey telling all her blessing that she had about her dad.

whisper whisper... (put mouse over)

*Gasp* you don't say!?!?!

Digging in... (mouse over)

Making cookies (mouse over)

Singing.

2 Sundays back we got a mother load of snow!!.... but then it melted in less than a week. Fun while it lasted!!

I was thinking about this cold weather.... How you can see your breath outside when its cold... Its there.. then its gone... That's how my life is compared to eternity. It will be here for a while... then I will be gone into eternity... So, how does one invest something of eternal value in ones own life, and into the life of others? I've been thinking that I do very little of that recently.. More living for the moment rather than living for eternity. Like how would I live if I knew that I only had a few more weeks to live on this earth? ... some thoughtage to think over....

Levi on the sled jump.

Go Joe!

Steady Faith.

Skiing with the Hey's and the Cargs..... (Mouse over)....Ooops..

Charity is that little pink dot in the middle of the picture.

Jacob.

Me and Abby..... It was really hard getting Abby to come on the chair lift. She was quite content to stay on the tow rope and not have to deal with the fear of being high up on the lift... I almost had to drag her to get her to come on... But she did it!!! And really enjoyed it... and not once did she go back to the tow rope....

I wonder..... is there tow ropes that I'm hanging onto in my life?

Ethen, Levi, Hannah... and Rach, Char, Bear in the distant.

Game night at the Johnsons.

Some crazy game :-)

Telling it like it was!!

Not understanding.

Thinking.

Some children making walls to have a snowball fight... I don't know them.. but they look like they are having fun.... Ya know, in having a snowball fight, it doesn't matter how good of a wall you have, but how good of snowballs you make that will determine if you are a winner...

Christmas caroling of at the Eriksons!! Boy it was a fun time!!

Christmas Music in Lapeer the other night... I was very glad to hear Hannah and Rachel playing in it.

Some children singing some music.... Do you think that 2000 years ago, people dressed up in bath towles? hmm.. it would have made it easyer to dry off after your bath I suppose...

Sneaky salad.

Charity doing her thing.

Taste testing...

In at caribou coffee today, there was a a little girl with markers drawing things on the counter :-)

This evening we had a hot dog roast.... a great thing to do outside on such a warm evening!!

Well I hope you enjoy your visit here.. if so.. drop a email about it in the outbox.... If you didn't enjoy it... well.. then... just send in donations hoping it will encourage me to make better post :-D hahaha
