We had pictures taken while in Shell Lake this past Thanksgiving. We spent the holiday with Kris' side of the family as we do every year. Just look at all these kids! 8 of them with one more on the way!

We would like to say it was quite uneventful, but that is not the truth. Erik had emergency dental work done the first thing on Friday morning after spending every hour of the night pacing in pain. He spent 6 hours having his teeth worked on or getting to and from the dentist on Friday. He is sure happy to not be in pain! So for Thanksgiving this year: We were all thankful for teeth that do not hurt and that Erik's teeth are being fixed.

Happy birthday Erik! We celebrated Erik's birthday three times this year. Once with my side of the family, and once with Erik's side of the family, and once with a group of friends. It was a nice week.

Merry Christmas


December Family Photo

Here is our latest family photo, taken today...we are blessed with such wonderful children! I think that when I look at their little faces. God is so good, and a giver of perfect gifts.

November Snow??



Here is Nathan and Amanda, enjoying our first November Snow. Only a dusting, but they were out in it...having a tea party on the deck!
