Well the 3 weeks of Seth being gone are coming to a close. He should be arriving at the Austen/Strabel airport Sunday night. He has been working nights so it will be a transition for him to get back to days, but he has off on Monday. I am still sick with this stupid flu that doesn't seem to want to go away. But Kelly's walk/run is coming up and I have to make chocolates for it, and if I don't get better soon, they won't get done. So if anyone feels like coming up to my house to help me make these yellow chocolate ribbons, that would be awesome!

This is my adorable brother Sam, we took a ton of pictures today with him in his uniform and soccer ball! I think this one looked the best!

My favorite plaid vest with some new shoes, but I am not sure if they don't look to grandmaish. What does everyone think? Oxfords are in right now but I'm not sure how they look.

My daddy is getting ready to leave for Iraq. Seth will be gone for 2 weeks still. Kelly is at the hospital right now. Mother is really sick. And the other kids, well ya they're all doing great, naughty but great! ;-) If you can't read it, it says "my battle scars, wielded by a little brother!

This is Seth and his friend and coworker Brad, walking through New York! Doesn't he look handsome! He's been working nights at the power plant, 12 hour shifts, during their outage. Nothing to exciting but it was a nice chance to work at another plant. But he's still going to be gone for a few more weeks.

Molly is down visiting her family. She went to her brother Sam's soccer game yesterday. Then came to her parents house and is spending a few days here visiting family. Her dad is leaving for Iraq this next week and her sister Kelly is still very sick from Chemo. Seth started working in Connecticut, he said they are very laid back and so work should be interesting. The plant there is a lot larger then where he is at right now. Hopefully he'll have fun and learn something while he's there! Well fall has certainly started to show it's head, time to give up t-shirts for sweaters!!!

Yes this is my very funny husband. Please pray for him as he is heading out to Connecticut to work an outage there. That means long hours, and little else to do but sleep. And also for me as I'll be staying here in Wisconsin the entire 3 weeks. He'll be leaving Saturday at 10 and getting back in 3 weeks on a Sunday night around 8. I know I'll be missing him sorely as he's gone, but it's a good opportunity for him.

Welcome to Blogging

So I finally decided to start a blog, since EVERYONE else out there seems to have one. This is also for those who don't have facebook so they can see the pictures and other stuffs. Don't know how this works so sorry for the confusion and the mess ups!
