Just so you Know.....

Our blogger account is currently over-run with nearly finished blog posts.

We've had a busy, busy fall, but I have been working on documenting these pictures and updates, until I was stopped in my tracks by a 'small' glitch--- our internet isn't functioning on our main computer. And all our pictures are on said computer. So I've come to a screeching halt on all these posts, unable to upload the rest of the pictures to complete the posts.
So you can expect a large number of new posts and updates just as soon as possible.

Until then, here is one picture I can access without our main computer.

In my opinion, it's the best family picture we've ever had taken.

(Thanks Anna!)

Trivia Tuesday!!

Trivia Tuesday has returned!!! :)

The trivia for this week is:

Part of our family was spending the day with friends freezing corn. After we finished our work, we loaded up in our bus to come home. While we were saying goodbye, someone noticed that we had a very low, almost flat rear tire. Our friends had a air hose and offered to air up the tire so we could drive to a nearby town to get it fixed. One of our boys got under the bus and to fill up the tire. Now, we have 4 tires on the rear of our bus-- two on each side. He found it difficult to navigate the hose to the right spot between the tires to reach the air valve, but after some fiddling, he was able to get a good connection and began airing up the tire. After a few minutes, when the tire was sufficiently filled, he disconnected the hose and proceeded to sit up--but wait. Calmly, he looked up at the crowd of spectators and quietly said "I'm stuck." His left arm had been positioned between the two tires to hold the hose in place. But as the deflated tire had filled up, it had wedged his arm tightly inbetween the tires!! After letting the air back out of the tire, he was able to free his arm (to the great relief of his mother)! :)

The question is, of course; which Ulmer boy was it???

Anson Boys!

When William was born, Mom and I were able to spend a few days with the Ansons. What a treat to have some time with their sweet little boys while Mommy got plenty of rest! The boys were great helpers; making supper, going shopping for groceries, drying dishes and taking out the trash. And of course, there was plenty of time for wrestling, reading books, tickling, laughing and taking trips to the park!!

God has abundantly blessed Scott & Lydia and they have done an excellent job of training their little men!

Those blue eyes!!!! Wow!
