Life Up North

i love listening to harry pray. it’s probably the sweetest thing ever. first he had  prayers for dad, in hopes he is able to come home before his birthday, but if not thats okay, but if you can send him home before i’d like that…then prayers for the guy in the motorcycle accident on howard street, take care of him, if he does die, you will get to meet my grandpa who will be there in a while, and then grandpa remember that we all love you, and everyone has loved you, and have fun up there, play lots of games with your cousins and brother, i love you

just a quick photo from our picnic trip to the park…

that’s all i have to say for now.

We had a blast turkey hunting this year, we all went out the first morning, everyone of us, I neglected to get a shot of all of us in our camo.  I really didn’t want to shoot with my camera that is, it was kind of nice not having to lug it around and worry about it.  i did have fun with my iPhone camera tho.  that’s so little and handy!  Bud was so nice, set everything up for us, got everything ready.  I don’t know what we’d do with out him.  He is the best Guide ever.  We heard some, didn’t see many, got kind of frustrated, but not that much, b/c it was so relaxing just sitting in the blind, taking a little nap here and here….what a fun weekend.  Bud finally scored one Sunday am.  Nice sized bird, 20lbs, 10 inch Beard.  hear are a few photos.

leslie has been blessed with the best 2nd grade teacher ever.  Mrs. Schmitz has been wonderful for him, kept him on the right track, he’s a pretty good student, but needs that drive and push behind him to do his best!  Thanks Mrs. Schmitz for that.  You have touched so many lives, we thank you for that.

Here are a few photos from the day: 

my future 2nd shooter.  gotta love him,

everyone thought he was “HOT STUFF” with the big camera!  LOL.
