| Look how God designed the frost to freeze in intricate patterns |
 |
| Climbing Bittersweet |
 |
| These icicles looked just beautiful catching the light from the setting sun. |
 | |
| A couple winter sunrises |
 |
| More frost! |
 |
| The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. ~Psalm 19:1 |
 |
| 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. |
 |
| 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! |
 |
| 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. |
 |
| 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 |
 |
| 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! |
 |
| Aunt Julia and Joshua |
 |
| Getting ready for his first bath at home! |
 |
 |
| Doesn't he look so cute peeping out of his blanket! |
