New Blog

As has happened with so many other people, Blogger says that my blog is full and that I can't upload any more pictures.  Here is my new blog, as yet in infancy stage.....  hopefully more pictures to come.

Visit to Vancouver

Not too many pictures lately, but we went to Vancouver last weekend to see Carissa and Ben.  Don't you just love their kitchen!!  We didn't get very many pictures, unfortunately.  Carissa and I went to Fabric Depot and I loaded up on fabric.  Tim and Ben went to the tropical fish store (the kids have a tropical fish tank) and then to a wood store.  It was a very fun and relaxing weekend.

Random October Pictures.

Here's little munchkin Conrad:


 Here's a dinosaur costume Grandma made for Hunter.



 Hunter got to have a sleepover and we carved pumpkins.  



 This is a little American Girl Doll bed that Tim made for his sister's granddaughter.

Wow! It's been a month since I posted on the blog. We took a trip to Minnesota!  Without further ado, here are some pictures that Tim did not put on his blog (a few duplicates).

These are the "beautiful" Badlands on the way to Minnesota.




All of Tim's family stayed at a lodge north of Minnepolis for three days.  It had 6 bedrooms and a large kitchen and sitting area.  This is Kerry's husband, Darin, and Drew, aged 8.





Much time was spent sitting around and chatting.

 


Kerry and Darin's daughter, Devin, who is about the same age as Conrad, liked playing peek-a-boo.




 Tim's cousin, Linda and her husband. 


The weather was cold but we enjoyed walks in the fall leaves.





 Lots of time was spent looking over and dividing up old pictures.





Tim and all his siblings.

 



Kathy, the organizer of all food for the weekend!

 


 Here are Tim's siblings.  Chuck, Bev, Adelle, Roger, Darlene.





And us .






This is the inside of the lodge.  Lots of room for people to sit.
