Laaaaaaaazzzyyyyy

ps-Romay keeps Kemper's ears clean, doesn't seem to effect his ability to hear all that much.

Burning the Midnight Oil

Midnight oil on a sunday is about 8 pm, we really try and check in early on school nights. Romay's adventures in the botany field continue as her pumpkin (looks like a weed shoot) is growing similarly to a weed. It literally has grown inches in a few days. Our impatience plant blooms year round, kind of refreshing with civil twilight ending around 4:50!! Jay and I took a walk to the dump tonight, I happened to feel like skiing over, so Jay got them out for me. Only two days with students this week, what a heavenly thought.

More Last Week Stuff

Sometimes the internet is your foe, as I have waited a week before I sat down to post these other pictures from last week. If there is an effort to post 6 pictures simultaneously, we might as well go to bed, eat breakfast, check the mail, then come see if there was any progress. Anyhow, with Thanksgiving break looming on the horizon, we're thrilled to celebrate with a new family of friends. The Kopps will be hosting us for Thanksgiving this year. Mr. Kopp and I both teach middle school, some days I feel as if it might be more appropriate to wear combat boots and wear camouflage to class. It's neat to work with him, his experience and insight have helped a new teacher greatly. Well, maybe we'll gear up for another ride this weekend; Jason keeps telling me that the chainsaw needs to get it's share of work this weekend.

Sunday Ride

We took an hour to explore the area. Romay persuaded me to get on the sled later on, that was an instant trip down memory lane! Jay showed us a beaver lodge and what do you know, a beaver snare through the ice nearby. What a piece of paradise we live in!

Fresh Air

Just taking a moment to post again. It seems that I have posted these pictures before, except we have a little more snow. Romay and I were busy knocking off fungus off the trees with dead branches, while Kemper and Dad explored the area. In actuality, we were out taking our Christmas photo, so I decided to dump the extras on this post.

Kemper in rare form...

Harris Soul Food

Jason's idea of a monday night dinner is more like Thanksgiving dinner--we had steak, salad, cranberry jelly, boiled potatoes and don't forget the apple pie with icecream for dessert. The way all this good food happened upon us was from my flying that happens on mondays after school. When I first started flying, Jason would make a sort of congratulatory dinner, "first time landing on your own," or "first time..." So now, it has become a satisfactory habit. Plus, we LOVE LOVE LOVE cooking good meals, our family often gathers around the stove and talks about what our Gram cooks, or recipes from Nancy. Ah, anyone up for a piece of apple pie?
