Face of an angel

Isn't he cute? Just about 15 minutes ago he stripped down and pooped in the yard. He could not understand why one would not want to do that?!?!

Long weekend in Illionis

We went to visit the Steeles this past weekend. Hannah, Joel, Steph, Mim, and Cora came to hang out. Rick and Gwen invited Micah's friends from high school and their families over for dessert so we enjoyed visiting with them. Isaiah helped Micah and Rick plant corn and got a cool new haircut at Micah's previous barber--picture to follow. Micah got to try out and I got to see the controls on Ricks new tractor that Micah designed. (Did I mention how cool Micah is??) Joel and Micah went to a Cardinals game and Hannah and I went to the movies. Micah and I even got a date! Naomi started calling her grandpa "hapa". We had a great time!

Neighborhood Turkey

This turkey hangs out in our neighborhood quite a bit these days. He even gets on decks and we have seen him squawking at some people. If he knew how much we like organic meat in this household I bet he wouldn't hang around here so much... He is good entertainment though.

Buffalo Ranch With Friends

Eight Amazing Years

Today is our eight year anniversary! We have been blessed beyond measure. To God be the glory!

Sunday Funday

Great weather enabled great fun in the back yard today . . . . along with the occasional moment of horrific calamity.

Dad, Kim, and Nana Visit

Dad, Kim, and Nana came to visit from North Carolina for a long weekend. We had so much fun with them. We ate lots of good food and had lots of laughs. I just wish they could have stayed longer!

On Friday we took the fam to the John Deere World Headquaters in Moline and to the JD Pavillion in Davenport. They enjoyed learning about the equipment.

On Saturday we went to Galena, IL. We ate a nice lunch and stopped to have ice cream. After that we went to the Dubuque Greyhound Park and Casino to watch the dog races. That was a hit with Nana.
