Catch-Up Time

Always a lot happening around here. Sometimes it's hard to find time to share the news with everyone. But here's a quick synopsis. Adam recently did some herring fishing, thanks to the help of Jeremy Baum, to stock-up on bait. He was very proud of his success. Maybe now he can catch that big halibut we've been waiting for.

My Mom and Rachael and I took a short trip to Petersburg last week and had a great time. We were visiting my Aunt and Uncle and some other family that we haven't seen in a while. The weather was beautiful and it was very relaxing. Rachael did great and just stole the show most of the time.

She also had her first taste of salmon...this salmon.

And she loved hanging out with her "great" Great-Uncle.

And Mom thought the ice floating down the channel was pretty cool.

Oh, and one more thing. For those of you who don't know yet...

Rachael's going to be a big sister in December!!!!!!!!

Busy Sunday

Sunday, the day of rest, can sometimes be the busiest day of the week, at least yesterday was. We didn't stop until bedtime. Adam has been leading worship, (and doing a great job), on Sunday mornings, and Pastor Mike asked if he would speak at the jail also. We used to go in regularly, but after Rachael was born, it became too difficult. He spoke about "power", something the Lord layed on his heart a couple days before. I wasn't there, but the others that were said he did great. We then went to the hospital to see the new baby in our family. Adrian's wife, Sarah, had a beautiful baby girl, Aden. It's always fun seeing a new baby, and she sure is lovely. After we got home, we had just a little while before our FOLD group meeting at 6:00. Adam led the music and also spoke again. Come to think of it, I think he was the one with the busy day! Anyway, he did just great, and we're proud of him.

Waiting to go to church in my best Sunday dress.
Here's a picture of the new baby!

I want to get my picture taken too!!
Hello, what's your name?

What's going on?

Adam just got back from his fishing trip down south with his Dad and 2 brothers and 16 other guys. He said it was pretty crowded in the cabin and he had an "OK" time. He said he missed us lots and he likes us there when he goes on trips. Anyway, he got right to work on the logs outside. Our property used to be mostly covered in trees. Now it looks like this.

With one tree left standing, he'll have to cut it down eventually, but he's used to it. He cuts down trees like this.Dale Baccula came over with his portable saw mill and he and Adam spent the last couple days milling and sawing all the logs.

And now, all those logs...

look like this.


Inside the house, we're having lots of fun just looking cute. Who else thinks she looks like Bam-Bam?
