This is what we are doing on this fine Friday morning. When I say "WE" I mean we are working as a team. I am the photographer. Otto is the encourager. He is yelling out things like, "Nice Mulie Buck!" and "Oh, Mae you are cutting the big Mulie Buck!" and "Do you like my beard?!" We don't know where that last one came from. Mae is all about this butchering thing. Cory is her hero. She rolled up her sleeves and jumped right in with dad. Otto ran too. Fast the other way. It took a few tries to get him in next to the antlers.

WOW! What a Ride!!

Our new van...complete with 12 passenger seating, plenty of leg room, 4 feet of cargo space, and enough space between the driver's seat and the back seat that when Lauren doesn't want to talk to us or be seen with us (need I mention she's a teenager), she chooses to ride in "the back of the bus".

The interior - the Martin kiddos and company!

We are so excited! Again, God's provision is amazing. Thanks to the generosity of friends, our family has a vehicle that we all can ride in TOGETHER! We are blessed!!

Thinking of Christmas?
Today got us in the mood. We got to see the 100 ft.Christmas tree that is on it's way to be the Christmas tree in the White House. It was cut in the Bitteroot forest and is making a few stops along the way, one of the stops was here today, in our little town. We got to sign our names and wish it well .. it was very touching. I held Mae up to sign her name. It choked me up seeing her little five year old handwritten name on the side of the truck. A great day.
Anyway..
I have the names for the little one's Christmas gift exchange, so I thought I would post them ...

drumroll please......
