MTeC

Jeremy and his brothers competed in a race yesterday. I guess it was sort of like a triathalon, but instead of swimming they rowed. They ran 9 miles, biked 18 miles and rowed 3 or 4 miles. (If I have those numbers wrong someone please let me know). They came in second in their division! We were very proud of them! I tried to post a few more pictures, but it was taking too long. Maybe I'll add more late.

Here the guys are enjoying some hot food after the race.

Surprise

One of the ladies that also went to Thunder Bay took this picture. I almost want to cry all over again just looking at it! I don't think I'll ever forget the look on Mom's (and Dad) face. :)

Home

It's good to be home. Our trip home from Thunder Bay went well although we did have bad roads for a good part of it. Isaiah did well. He had some fussy times, but we survived. Everyone we were traveling with were very gracious and helpful. We left Thursday afternoon and when Isaiah woke up Friday morning I found a new tooth. I don't recommend traveling and cutting teeth at the same time, but he actually did quite well.

It was great to see Jeremy again. It was hard to leave Thunder Bay, but it was great to be home with him again in our little house. We have a nice relaxing weekend together. He had the house all cleaned when we got home!

I've been back for four full days already, but I'm still having trouble getting onto the swing of things. I just can't seem to get anything finished. I have no problem starting things, but finishing them is the task. Right now I'm downloading pictures from this computer to a disk. I'm afraid someday this computer will crash and our picture will be gone. I guess that's one thing I'm accomplished today. Oh yeah, and I made pumpkin cinnamon rolls this morning. Very good! If you want the recipe go Taste of Homes web site and type it in the search engine. They are great!

Isaiah had a sad thing happen last night. We realized last evening that his favorite nuk was missing a little chuck of rubber. You have to understand this nuk, it's the only one he likes. For some reason as he used it it got streched out so now it's about 10 times its original size and of course there's no way to replace it. So now he's nukless. He did cry last night when we put him to bed, but I think it was more from the tooth that's just about to come through. He's gone down for both naps today without much fuss. He does still have his favorite stuffed puppy so that helps.

Well, there's my update. There are a few of you out there, not mentioning any names, that haven't updated in a very long time!! :) your turn!

Lake Superior

Yes, it's very cold!

The Sleeping Giant

Can you see it?

Leaving

The hunters came home last night and decided we should leave today instead of tomorrow. I'm exicted to see Jeremy, but it was a little hard to realize that we are leaving today. At least this way I didn't have as much time to dread saying goodbye to my parents. Please pray for us on the way home. There is a chance we could run into some snow so please pray. Also pray for Isaiah. We're leaving around 1:00 in the afternoon so we have a lot of time on the road before bed time. He also didn't sleep real well last night. I think his teeth are bugging him. Thanks for your prayers! I'll try to update and post pictures when I get home.
