November Mourns

The quiet wooded way
a path to the edge. Somber mists seep into the arms of standing oaks and jeweled tears slip off the pine.
November mourns the life in pass.

Blessed Thanksgiving

What a yummy dinner we had. We were missing a few people but our hearts and prayers were with them today.

Oh was I a happy Auntie. I had these darlings as my special guests!

We had pictures taken today. I think Annika might have Christopher's heart today!!

Us two old sweethearts!!

Marilyn and Doug

Our fun time outside was 4 wheeler rides. Annika was brave enough to take a ride with Christopher. It's fun to see the girls warm up a little to their cousin Christopher. He's good with the little ones.

Sofie trusted only her Dad for this special ride!!

Annika and I went to see the hens. To my surprise I finally found an egg in the nesting boxes!! Annika was just as excited as I was. It's been weeks since the hens have layed an egg!

Uff da Lefse

Marilyn and I made lefse today. She had the little potato balls all set for our afternoon roll out. I was the roller and she dusted and turned the Lefse. By the 50th ball I had myself thinking I was pretty good at it. We are going to do this again real soon! Thanks Marilyn for the fun lesson and the stack of Lefse!

A Second Look

c Christopher's Great, Great Grandfather Emil (back center) gives us all a second take... Who do we see?
