Here is Douglas on derby night at church. His car came in third. He was happy about that!

Hi everyone. I am getting frustrated because I can't figure out where my pictures of Douglas and his derby went in my computer. Hopefully...I will "find" them. They are in there somewhere!

Here are some pictures of the tree that fell on the house. It hit the porch pretty hard! It shook the whole house and woke the house up...except Jacob and Maggie who sleep very soundly.

Here is the kitchen windows painted and the chandelier in the dining room put up! Now the kitchen just needs curtains.

Christmas morning pictures. We had a great Christmas and missed everyone very much. The kids had fun opening their gifts. Steve and I didn't have many surprises under the tree. We both got a kitchen for Christmas. The kids did get us some gifts from the "store" they had set up at the school. So that was fun seeing what they bought us!

Here is our Gingerbread house. All the children helped. It was quite an undertaking! As you can see if you look closely...before I could even take a picture of the house....one gum drop is missing on the front! Gee wonder who ate it?
You can see from picture #2! As the week went on more and more candy just disappeared! Amazing that no one ate any though. :)

Here are the kids making snowmen. This all happened before Christmas but just getting around to getting things posted. We ended up making a whole family of snowmen all over the yard. Sadly with the warm weather they all melted and went away. We had a green Christmas and now we only have a dusting of snow.
