November Update

Hi everyone,

It has been a week since we updated you.  It has been a busy but relatively ordinary week.

Last Sunday afternoon,  we enjoyed the nice weather and did some yard catchup work.
The older kids had youth group Sunday evening. They watched "The Ultimate Gift". Once again we recommend that everyone see this great movie.

We worked on our jobsite project this week. Work included installing and cladding doors and windows and installing cement board siding.

The weather did not cooperate quite so well this week. We had 2 days with temps in the 30's and winds gusting to 45 mph at times. This makes the jobsite less than fun. It has remained mostly cold with lows in the 20's and highs in the 30's or 40's.

Charlotte had a very unusual day of being sick on Thursday but has rebounded nicely.

On Thursday, Brian and Peggy picked up a refrigerator for Peggy's apartment. Her older refrigerator was one of those that needed to be thawed from time to time. I have never seen anything like it, but her freezer would literally completely fill with ice in a short time.
We were able to purchase a very good used one for a good deal.

Saturday was spent doing oil changes and Brian spent 5 hours mowing our 2 largest lawns. Brrrr it was only 36 degrees.
Charlotte and the boys picked up Boy Scout popcorn and did housework catchup.

On Saturday evening, we spent the evening with the Nightmare leadership team for our annual celebration party. It was held at the director's home.

This Sunday morning we once again put together a full worship band. We worked hard on some new and more difficult songs. Once again we had Samuel play bass. He is really learning quickly. He has been a great 
addition to the team.
Next weekend may be a little more difficult as a fair amount of our team will be participating in the Wisconsin holiday known as the gun deer hunting season.

Today, this Sunday we are having a mini birthday party for Rosa. We were in MS when she turned 1. We spent the day with Peggy, Amanda, Nate and Charlotte's parents. My parents were unable to make it as they were in Illinois today. She is actually 1.5 years old now.

Thanks for spending the time to check in.
