Misc. Pictures

We celebrated our Thanksgiving early this year, on Nov. 9th.

The Graybill's and our family got together with Steve and Marsha Freed for an evening together before they move. We'll miss seeing them at church.

Aunt Tonda enjoyed playing with her grandchildren at the sewing day last week.

This is the second year the Hackenberger ladies have gotten together to work on sewing school kit bags. It's a fun day, and we get something useful done at the same time.

My cousin Angie and her little girl, Grace.

The finished bags.

Great, Big Things

I thought Daniel might enjoy seeing some these 'great' machines : )

Getting a trench dug to replace a pipe that got clogged by willow tree roots.

This isn't a machine, but I thought you might like to see the great big tree that blew over in the pasture.

Do you see the combine coming?

It was pretty dry when Dad first started harvesting, so sometimes it was really dusty!

Hunting and Trapping

Dad and Ben have been enjoying hunting and trapping this year.

So far, they've gotten 8 raccoons and 5 opossums.

Dad got a turkey at the Graybill's place this week. 

More Pictures of Anna

Anna is such a happy girl!

It's hard to believe how old Anna is already!

Ben got his remote-controlled dump truck out to show Anna...

...and even drove the opossum around on it for her : )

Grandpa's girl!

All bundled up to go home

More Pictures From the Marasco Home

Coloring with Daniel. Sometimes he calls it his 'math book'.
You'll notice he had been playing dress up with Hannah and Sarah : )

I think this picture is so cute!

Dan's birthday was on Tuesday.

Having fun with Mr. Butler, the music teacher .

The Marasco's have family devotions each evening.  There is singing
 (sometimes that gets lively!) a memory verse, a short Bible lesson, and then
prayers for family and friends. Hannah enjoys getting to read little sections
of the Bible story. 

The Marasco's have a beautiful view of the sunrise.

School time!

Reading to Sarah

Baby Joshua is such a good baby : )   He doesn't cry very much at all!

Baby Joshua

Aunt Julia and Joshua

Getting ready for his first bath at home!

Doesn't he look so cute peeping out of his blanket!

Here at the .... Marasco's!

Playing " Find the Baby and Mama" with Sarah

Working on school

The children enjoyed making 'sugar pies' with an extra pie crust.
They each had their own pie tin and enjoyed putting in the
pie crusts. Daniel's pie had his handprint in it when he was done : )

We also made pumpkin and apple pies.

The sun cast this shadow from the cross on the window next
to  the verse on the clock. Isn't it perfect?

Reading with MomMom before quiet time.

Playing the "Cookie Game". Daniel loved the rotten egg card, and was
happy to sit and play with just that card in front of him : )

Watching Daddy tilling the garden

The children have enjoyed playing in these cardboard boxes this week.
