Thankfulness.

I have been enjoying thankful lists that lots of people have been writing.

So I thought I would start one too. But not to 1000. I think maybe to 387. I think that is doable.

Which, not to say I don't have that much to be thankful for. but I just like to be a little different. Is that OK? alright... Here goes.

1. Glow in the Dark Paint - Painted on my ceiling in Van Go style.

2. Jobs that pay. In more ways than one.

3. Good books.

4. The Andy Griffith show

Clean, Hilarious goodness.

5. A job that is challenging.

6. Forgiveness, both directions.

7. Long blond wigs, on sale from Halloween :)

8. The book of Matthew.

9. Writing letters.

10. Getting Letters.

11. Parents who have been Married for 37 years today.

Buster's thoughts about snow.

Buster do you like snow?

You do?

Aha, Well since you asked so nicely...

Whew. It is hard to throw these snowballs and take pictures at the same time.

I know. I love it too.

Beatrice's teeth.

Well, Where they used to be anyhow.

I just can't quite get over how cute she is with her missing teeth.

Missing teeth isn't always adorable.

But Miss Bea sure does pull it off well.

Yep. It is true.


She is adorable.
and how about the lisp!? (lithp)
She actually could talk pretty much without one.
but I think it was there.
Oh Bea!

Sisters.

cousins.

This week we have had the delightful company of the Edwards family.

It has been rather fun for every one :)

Today Abbi & Co. came over and we made baskets made out of paper bags.

among other things :)

yep. family is good.

Potato picking.

On Wednesday we (29 of us) went to Park rapids to find some potatoes.

and did we find them!

at first it didn't look like there was very many but a fellow tipped Dad off to where there was a big pile that was not going to be used, so while the rest of us picked over the fields he and a few others went and filled all of the sacks that we had brought.

all in all our truck load was about 2000 pounds and adding everybody else's it was probably close to 3000 lbs in all.

Miss Megan. She was a good helper!
Emily and Mara had a good time picking potatoes.

Laura Danielle

Lucas and Mom.

working hard.

It was kinda funny, they didn't let the kids ride in the back since the back window was covered up, but they stilled liked sitting back there while it was stationary.

So now we have potatoes which is pretty great. It was kinda neat how that we can use what would usually be wasted.

This Sunday (October 4th) we are having an Open house at church, and we will be having baked potatoes :) You all are welcome to come! Here is info.

Have a lovely day!
