Pumpkin Bread!

No words needed......

 

It Looks Like It's Been Snowing!

This morning I looked out our front window - and did a double take.

Snow?  Thank heavens, no.  Just thousands of beautiful white petals from

our flowering tree that the strong winds have blown off.

There were even piles of petals on the driveway!

 

Dead Branches

Isaac is always up for a job.  We had several dead branches that were low

enough for him to get with the pole saw.

Man, I'm going to miss this son of ours when he heads to the Army.

 

Spring Beauty

Our beautiful flowering tree that is always the first to bloom.

Spring seems to be coming late this year, but at least we have hope!

 

Life Happens.....Catching Up!

Life has been a whirlwind - no time to blog!  Here is a quick update of

life after we returned from Arizona!

Courtney made her annual visit in late February to help us get our

taxes ready for the CPA.  She's very good, and quick, at this and makes it

all seem very easy.  It's also a good excuse to spend more time with her!

Courtney, Isaac, and Joshua went to a Nebraska basketball game against 

Minnesota...........they lost.

Having fun with taxes!

 

 Courtney and I had a fun night out with a delicious dinner and then an art class.

We are definitely lacking in artistic talent, but it was fun!

We had an impromptu trip to Alabama which got delayed one day because

of a blizzard that hit the Midwest.  Lots of heavy snow, extreme winds, and branches

were down.  We lost electricity for about ten hours, but many did not get it

restored for several days.

 

Our quick trip to Huntsville was wonderful!  Blue skies, warm temps, and a

great time with Courtney and Dennis.

Rachel, Christopher, and kids are all doing well in Colorado! We are so happy

for them all, but miss them terribly.
