Family of 4

Merry Christmas!!! I hope everyone is well with you and yours. We are having a very nice Christmas this year. I wanted to share a family pic, but could not decide which of these I like better, so I decided to use both! I'll be posting more of the boys soon.

Christmas Break is here!

School is out and it is time for Christmas. Josh had a great class party today. His teacher gave each student a coloring book with markers AND mechanical crayons. He sat at the dining table for surely over an hour coloring his little heart out! I was absolutely amazed because, I'm telling you, the boy is rarely still for a moment.

I know Andrew is going to be SO glad to have a playmate every single day for the next two weeks. Especially since there will be so many new things to play with in just a few short days.

We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year! Don't forget to celebrate Jesus everyday!

Can you guess who this baby is?

I was looking to see what pictures I had to post tonight, when I came across this one I had scanned last Spring when the church was doing a slideshow. I thought since it is obviously a Santa suit, it would be perfect! Give up??? It's Craig at, I'm guessing, 1 year old. So cute! This picture reminds me of Andrew.

Makin' Butter

Okay, I am ashamed to say that in all the years I've lived on a dairy farm I can't recall ever making homemade butter. But now I have. I had no idea how simple the process really is.... Though it does take a lot of shaking! Now don't let these pictures fool you.....the boys did shake long enough for a picture, but I did most of the work! Oh and Craig helped quite a bit too... It ended up looking and tasting like whipped butter and is quite good on waffles.
