Belated B-day Wishes to Jason!

I think it was your b-day recently. I just remember the end of October but I'm sorry I can't remember the date! Hope you had a great one! And if I'm totally off and it wasn't your b-day, then OOPS!

Thanksgiving!

Hi All-
I have been stuck at home for the past couple of days with sick twins, and I am finally catching up on all the things I have been meaning to do for a while. (Jill-Emma's present is FINALLY in the mail.)

Other than the flu things have been pretty good here. Bella wrapped up her soccer season a couple weekends ago, so we were finally able to get out weekends back. We ended up going to the zoo in Sioux Falls last weekend which was pretty fun.

Okay, I will stop rambling. We don't know what everyone's Thanksgiving plans are, but we would like to invite one and all to our house. Anyone is welcome to stay with us as well. It will be cozy, but we have a bed, couches and I can even scare up some blow-up beds if necessary. Anyone who would like to go "Black Friday" shopping let me know.

I hope all is well with everyone. We miss everyone and can't wait to get together. Who is going to make it to pumpkin carving? We should be there on Friday night.

Talk to you all soon. Jeannie

Fall Leaves

Hi everyone! Just thought we could use something new on the blog. This was our first weekend of what ends up being a routine weekend chore of leaves-pickup. 17 bags, and we've a whole month of the trees shedding yet. Not an issue on the farm, in Vegas, or in new subdivisions, I suppose!

Hope everyone is having a great fall. The weather sure has been great here. In fact, it was hot enough for our relay race last weekend, that I had to go get ice from the med tent so I wouldn't faint after my second leg of the race!

Anyway....miss you all and hope you are well!

Marshall Flooding

Hey - I know this is a week old now, but I thought I would share a few pictures of the flooding in Marshall. Although Marshall did not get hit as bad as other towns there was still a lot of water around and basements flooded.

This is Skunk Hallow Road right next to the river. It was about 3 feet deep further down running over the road.

Here is a picture of our backyard. Good thing the bike path was here as our yard would have been a river like the rest of the meadow behind us.
