David Sees the Ocean

We took David to the beach last week. He wasn't really feeling very well that day(he had three teeth coming in), but he really enjoyed the beach. It was probably the happiest part of his day!

Cousins

David has enjoyed visiting his cousins while we have been in California. Here is a cute picture of Annie and David riding the rocking horses that Jon made. Jon and Aimee have a really cute store where they sell handmade wooden toys.

Grateful For...

... a life to live, my husband to share it with, a little boy who makes me laugh, loving families, friends that care, a supportive and wonderful community, all our needs provided, our daily bread, a cozy home, a warm fireplace, a productive farm, a beautiful valley…
… and most of all an awesome God who love, guides, provides, and protects.

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

Working on the Vacuum

David found the ash bucket. Somehow the ashes then ended up on the floor. So Andrew got out the vacuum. But the vacuum wouldn't suck, instead it blew the ashes around the room. Andrew looked inside. There was a small bottle stuck in the hose and below that was packed tight with dirt. Of course we know who put that there. I won't name any names but it wasn't me and it wasn't Andrew :) Well then Andrew got out the screwdriver and opened up the vacuum to get out the plug. David was fascinated. After Andrew was done David had a try with the screwdriver, too.
