GINGERBREAD BOYS

Over the weekend, Micah and I read this book about Gingerbread boys and how the little old man, the old lady, the cow and the horse could not catch him. At the end, the fox eats the gingerbread boy because that's what they're made for, "to be eaten." At first, Micah didn't like that a boy was eaten by a fox. I told Micah that the gingerbread boy was a cookie. After he heard this he was all for eating gingerbread boys and could hardly wait to make them. So, that is what we did today! We made Gingerbread Boys and after lunch today, we ate one. Mmmm, they were good!

The Godt Grandchildren

My sister and her family were at my parents on Wednesday evening for a visit. It was fun to have all "the cousins" together as Micah calls them. Here they are from left to right: Alise (7), Emily (9) with Benjamin (18 months), Natalie (3), Micah (3), and Luke (nearly 6). We love you!

Peakaboo!

A couple weeks ago Ben (now 18 months old) stayed with my parents while Tim, Micah and I went up to our house to check on the place. He and Grandpa had fun playing games together and this was a picture he had captured with our littlest guy. He is so sweet but underneath all that sweetness is a very mischievous, teasing boy. We love you Ben-Ben!

Fall Leaves Cleanup

These are pictures of the kids and Tim cleaning up the "mountain" of leaves at our place. Tim's new leaf blower was very handy and made the job a lot more pleasant. Ben and Micah had to get in on the fun of jumping into the leaves. Here's a few pictures from the weekend fun!

My handsome Bailey Boys! By the way, HAPPY 33rd BIRTHDAY to my hubby! What a wonderful husband and father you are. We LOVE YOU!

Happenings At Our Place

Over the weekend Tim and I were at our place up north. We call it our "cabin" since the place has not sold yet. We continue to hope and pray that the right buyers will come along VERY soon. We sure appreciate your prayers.

Tim's job at Nestle continues to go well. There is lots to learn but each week he gets a better handle of the process. Our family continues to stay with Tim's parents in the Twin Cities. We are so thankful for their love and generosity towards us. It has been fun having both sets of grandparents close by. In fact, every Thursday we set out to Grandma and Grandpa Godt's place for the day. Such fun!

I am nearly 29 weeks pregnant now. Wow, it certainly has flown by quickly. I secretly hope and pray that we will have a "new house" to bring this baby home to by January 20th. It will be interesting how God works this all out in His timing and plan. So far I've been feeling very good.

Well, that's all the happenings here at our homestead. I'll try to post pictures soon.
