Our New Grandson

We ran up to see this little guy.


And these guys....
And these guys......
Also, Emily and Amanda but unfortunately we didn't get pictures of them. I also wish I had taken a picture of Brett. He stopped by on his way up north.

Heidi and Jeff are doing great. Little Adrian is a gem of a baby. Pretty much just sleeps and eats. Heidi is one of those mom's that come home from the hospital in her regular clothes!! 31 years later and I'm STILL not back in my regular clothes!

Hey....The Kid CAN Work!

This Kid is 13 years old and does absolutely nothing around here! Dad decided it's time for him to be doing some jobs. He gave him the job of weeding around the wood pile and weeding around the pool. Being as we had quite a bit of rain on Sunday, it shouldn't have been too difficult of a job. He needed a little "coaxing" to get out there but once he did he actually worked pretty hard. It took him about 1 1/2 hours. The job was marginal, he missed a few weeds, but he tried! He had the wheelbarrow and even picked up the weeds and brought them across the road in the woods. The Kid is capable, just extremely lazy. Partly our fault as he is never expected to do much. Hopefully that will start to change. It makes a body feel good to work!

Cookbook Update

My sister Sarah talked to the publishing company yesterday and they said the books should be shipped by the end of the month!

Proud Fisherman

Danny and the boys went fishing one evening at my sister Lisa's camp. Danny was proud of his catch.

New Bowl

I am so excited about this bowl. Lisa picked it up for me at the Amish General Store near her camp. It holds 30 quarts. I can't WAIT to make pasty for the first time with it. It will be so nice to mix with that wide opening. I've heard so much about this general store and would love to visit it. I did spend two beautiful days with Lisa at her camp but the weather was so nice I hated to leave the lake. My sisters, Kristin and Tricia, were there along with kids. We had such a great time but I was so disappointed as I forgot my camera. I remembered the extra camera battery but not the camera!
