Pictures!!!!! Part 1


We had sweet corn one night for supper a couple of weeks ago and found a double ear


Kenton helping shuck


The twins are really excited about their new play house. Thanks U. Joe and A. Joan! I will try to remember to post a picture of it all painted.


It really took two of them to change THIS light!


Ethan was given this scooter to ride around on until our shipment came by a neighbor.


We have three window wells in our basement where we usually find toads. Occasionally there has been chipmunks, too, and one day we found this baby bunny.


Mom W. and Alison came to help us straighten out papers one day. We have learned through our many moves that if we don't do this time consuming task we usually end up throwing out small but important parts.

We paid the twins 2 cents for each sheet they straightened out. They complained while doing it but once they were in Wal Mart spending that hard earned cash the pain of work was forgotten!



Here are my lovely hanging baskets BEFORE I started killing them...good thing they were half off!



Ethan and Kaitlyn spent one morning watching men pave our street.



Our "new" house. I purposefully chopped off part of the garage as I wasn't comfortable posting our house number on a public forum.


Taking a break for fresh berries


This picture is for those of you who voted on my washer and dryer poll. I ended up going with front loaders from Whirlpool and so far I'm pretty happy with them.

When we first moved into the house we had to make do with what we had until our shipments of "stuff" started arriving one by one. The kids loved eating their cereal out of cups for about three mornings and then they complained:)
*************************
More pictures coming soon - I'm too tired to keep going tonight! I have two of Ben and Melissa's kids along with my three and Ryan is in Indy so I'd better head to bed. We are getting closer and closer to being settled though and are slowly starting to feel like we are "home" again!

Our shipment of furniture from Singapore came on Friday morning. The guys unpacked all the boxes and left great big piles of "stuff" everywhere! Ryan's Mom and sister came yesterday and helped for awhile and my Dad and Mom are here today helping.

We are heading down to Forrest for the night and then on to Cissna tomorrow for church to spend some time with G and G Rink. Ryan heads home tomorrow night and the kids and I stay until Monday evening to help do sweet corn - yea!!
