"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us."

Abraham Lincoln, proclaiming a National Fast Day

I just really loved this quote that I came across when reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter..... Yes. I read it. But I actually wouldn't have even known about it if Jon hadn't found it at the library and brought it home. (He's at the library a lot) The vampire hunting is actually threaded through the actual events of his life. Except for the ending, I really enjoyed reading it.

"Cougar boys win Wayne Trace Classic"

They made it to the semis last weekend at Lincolnview (boy, was that an UGLY event to watch!) The week before, they won their first tourney of the year......

Cougar boys win Wayne Trace Classic

Hello Out There!

We're alive and well! And I've had pictures to post for some time, but Blogger has been difficult and I get frustrated :)
Here are a few of the pictures I keep trying to post.
My boys and Dallas cuddling on our "new" couch. This is the couch we picked out, but it was damaged during shipping. So they ordered and delivered a new couch last Monday. Guess what? It was broken too!! Grrr! So we are currently awaiting another couch. The chair has arrived and is great. I'll have to take and post a picture of that in the room because I'm having trouble deciding what to put on the walls.

Dallas on the beanbag with her blanket.

And Braden. Oh Braden! He is always making me laugh. And I'm pretty sure that if you watch him long enough, you'll see him growing taller and thinner.
