Is winter over yet????

Wow--- The wonders of technolgy that connects all of us in one spot. There is so much that has been happening here that we really don't know where to begin...
The pastor has headed on a missions trip so Tim taking on the duties of the whole church. This is even more stressful with the snow. On the fly Tim may have to come up with a new sermon structure because the fill in may not be able to make it into town... Speaking of snow yesterday (Friday) was a balming 25 degrees to the positive. We were beginning to get ahead of the snow, and then came today. We woke up to snow, and we will be going to bed with snow, at least seven inches in one day.
It is becoming routine to pile on the layers just to put the dog outside... She just doesn't like to stay in the yard. Tonight Tim and I chased her in our pjs down the block.
My job as I know it now will be changing next year. I will more than likely be moving up to the Junior High School as a Paraprofessional. It seems to be okay, as long as I can have the answers for math questions that will pop up along the way. Who knew that math just two years ago was being taught to 5th graders very different than it is today.
We are working on three different rooms in the house to make them feel more like home. I have spent the last year working on a mural in the kitchen, but it is not yet completed. We have moved almost everything around in both bedrooms. We have a new bed that is very comfortable thanks to a very special Santa...
If anyone is in need of a winter wonderland back home let us know, because we are really willing to share at this point!

Love you all!!!!!

James has money!!!



So when we were at home over Christmas break it took a little while for my nephew Nick to figure out who Uncle Tim and Aunt Becky were. Well, when my brother and sister in law showed up for dinner it didn't take long for them to warm up to him. But it should be known that for the right amount of money Nick will like anybody.

If you look close...it looks like they are all sleeping. You need to listen to the whole story before you fall asleep.


It's really because of these two I miss Ohio so much some days...I love you guys!!!

Busy and Cold...

This is what my truck still looks like today. Love Ya...
This is our snow path!!!

Hey, I don't have much to say right now. It's been busy since we've gotten back home. Becky is busy at work and so am I...I thought I would put a couple of more pictures up of this stupid snow...I checked the weather this morning at 9:00 and it was -4 with a wind chill of -22. So if any of you were thinking of making a surprise visit, I would wait until maybe July. Ok enough ramblings for now.

Amazing Trip!!!

So it’s Friday and I am finally in the office, and getting back to normal life. Becky and I are happy to be back home with stuff to do, we were both starting to go crazy and we were cleaning the house.
We had an amazing trip HOME, it was great to see all of our family, it’s to bad we didn’t stay until Monday, but we had a great time anyways. I want to say thank you to all of you who spoiled us from food, chicken, steak, pancakes, French toast, Olive Garden, Chick-fil-a, and did I mention chicken? Oh, it was amazing.
It was good to see family, and both Becky and I said we can not wait another year before we come home for a trip again, but then again I guess we will get to see some of you in July…if you come then I believe we will have a little warmer weather, ok a lot. Anyway, speaking of July, our Praise Gathering is going to be July 27-29 and it will be in Hutchinson, Kansas. You can look it up, the place we are staying has an indoor water park!!
It was great seeing everybody, but I have to admit it was heart warming to see my niece and nephews, even if they did love my brother a little bit more because he had money.
Well…I’ve got to actually do some work so…Thank You to all of you who spoiled us.
Love Ya…
Here are some pictures of Tom plowing out our driveway. Our flower pot on the curb is now gone.


Something tells me I won't be driving this for a while.

This is right across from our driveway.
Bossy is a little confused about where the grass went.

Hey, we have made it to Friday!! The snow has not melted yet but we are hopeful. Colby did have scholl today, and Becky is at work but I thought I would just put a few of the pictures from the last couple of days on the site. Hope you enjoy!!

Here is the pathway into our house, this was taken Tuesday Morning.
