Here are some of my Christmas decorations. Our Christmas tree, new as of last year, has is prelit and has a setting on it that makes it spin. Fun, right?

Andy's shirt came in the mail today. He likes it! Here he is showing it off for Uncle Mark, Aunt Michele, Chloe and Mason (and anyone else!).

We were working in our yard the other day. Joey took the picture of Petey, the yellow cat. I think they were having fun! John is on the mower in the other picture. I guess the last time he mowed, he gave the cows a treat.....the freshly mowed grass, dumping the bags over the electric fence. They are pretty smart cows because they were lined up for more!

We had a lunch at our house with John's brother and his wife and Eleanor. Great food!!!

A gig at Eli's

Arcade Across the Room (a band Andy is in) performed at Eli's Coffee Shop last Sunday. They set up on the porch and had a good size crowd come by and listen to them.


John and Grandma enjoyed the show!

John's Trip to Idaho

John recently traveled to Idaho to visit a Lutheran School there. The school was cited in a book John read for his Masters class so he and Pastor Jeff decided to go check it out and see what they could learn from them.

While they were there, they had planned to see the World's Largest Potato Chip. However, the display was closed! So instead, they saw the World's Largest Styrofoam Potato.

He came home with lots of ideas and refreshed.

Morton High School Homecoming 2008

The Homecoming Parade was Thursday of Homecoming Week. The Jr. High Band marched in with the High School Band. Here is Joey with the Bass Line. He said it was very loud!

Andy was nomitated for Homecoming Court so he got to ride in this parade. He did not get chosen for Court, but I think he had fun with it all.
