Catching up…
I finally uploaded pictures from our ipod, that needed to be done for some time. Here are a bunch of random pictures from the last week or so that shows a little bit about what we have been up to.
Grandpa gave us all a ride in the big tractor
Grandpa hard at work
Well, he doesn’t drive around tractors all day, but part of the time he works for John Deere. It was fun taking the girls to see where Grandpa works, and to be able to ride in a nice new (pretty high-tech) tractor.

Thanksgiving
We were able to be with Katrina’s family and some of Micah’s family for Thankgiving this year. Micah’s dad, step-mom and step-sister drove up to be with us for the Thanksgiving weekend, from Virginia. It was nice being able to be with them for the holiday this year and enjoy some relaxing days together. On Thanksgiving day, all of Katrina’s dad’s side of the family, the Renno’s, have a big meal together. Last year there was barely enough room for everyone in my cousins house, so this year they needed a bigger place. They ended up holding it at the church we attend in town, which has a lot more room that a normal sized house. It wasn’t homey feeling like it’s nice to have, but it was a great place to be able for everyone to sit around the table, at one time, and the kids had lots of room to run and play, inside and out. It was so nice to be in PA this year for Thanksgiving and be able to enjoy family time.
On a different note, we still have not gotten a camera… these pictures were taken by my Dad. Thanks Dad!

Back in PA
Just wanted to let everyone know we are back in PA, we actually have been for about a week now. Now that our camera is gone, I haven’t been taking pictures, so it doesn’t even come to my mind to update the blog.
We are looking for a camera right now, so if anyone has any suggestions about which ones are good, I would love to hear them. I would like something better than a point and shoot, but I don’t want to pay the big bucks either for a really nice big one. And those nice big ones are just that, big. What do you think?
