It's October and I need to update!!

Yikes, where did the month of September go??? I'll up date with some Senior pictures of the boys...no not Steve! Here are Hans and Alex. We had so many pictures to pick from, thanks to our friend Scott Kirwen. So this is just a few.

Happy Anniversary Steve

Yes, we have survived 24 years. Love ya, hon!

TEXAS

I'm finally getting around to posting my Texas pictures, so here goes.....Anders and Victoria. We are all looking into the sun. I don't take the best pictures as you can tell. I stayed with the King's and that included the pets as well, I loved it! It was NOT boring, right Debra!

This is Wilbur the armadillo

Then there is Sheeva, the fawn who they rescued from the roadside after her mother was killed. She sleeps with Sara at night.
Here are the Mom's...Debra and I.

My goal this time was to get a picture of a long horn and I certainly had the chance at the Bandara Day parade where they marched them through town.

They even saddle them up and ride them!
and of course it is true....everything is bigger in Texas!!!
even a chicken car...this is for Cindy and I.
another longhorn.
It was a very enjoyable time and I miss the warmth already as it certainly has cooled down here in WI. We accomplished a lot towards the wedding plans. So we will be in Texas again in Dec. A Big Thanks to the Kings' for putting me up and putting up with me! Love ya!

Happenings

We've had a very fun weekend having a picnic at the park, walking, climbing the tower and then on Tue. for Alex's birthday we went to the Packer's practice and did the Lambeau Tour. What's not to like about a wedge of cheese on your head!

Janna and Alex on top of the tower in Pot park.
Ya, what more can you say!!



The eternal hope.....going all the way.

Welcome Alex!

Welcome Alex, our new son from Germany has arrived. Alex is an exchange student who will be with us for the year. He dosn't look too weary for having spent 8 hrs at the Chicago airport! Poor guy. He'll have a few weeks before school starts to catch up on any sleep and get a bit settle in.

Yo Ho!

This was a fun one to do. Arrrrg it's a sea faring quilt for my pirate fan. I Hope he will like it. Now for a little break until I have my next one figured out.

Summer rainbow

A rainbow in the back yard during one of our summer rain showers. It's there if you look closely. We are having another good down pour right now but it's not clear enough to get a good picture of the rainbow....there's just something about it pouring down rain and the sun shining bright!
