Do You Hear It?

Well, can you? The wind rustles through the leaves as the weather slowly changes on us, and that sound in the distance can only be one thing. It's a sound known well by the Nelson family, especially during this time of year. As part of the season as pumpkins, costumes, and Thanksgiving dinners. That sound? That sound you hear? It's getting closer! It's getting clearer! I hear cheers! I hear squeeking! I smell.....I smell popcorn! It must be basketball season! GOOD LUCK AS THE SEASON GETS UNDER WAY!

  • Good luck to the Lady Warriors of Calumet!
  • Good luck to the Lady Wildcats of Hanover!
  • Good luck to the Warriors of Calumet! (We're gonna need it!) :)

Hey Pumpkin!










As Halloween gets closer Kari and Jaecy picked up some pumpkins from the pumpkin patch. We all sat down around the kitchen table and went to work! The results can be seen in the picture below!

Kari and Mav carved out the Pokemon logo!
Daddy went for the grumpy pumpkin look! (Check out the mean eyebrows!!)

I'm Hit!!!

Well, today all the kids got their flu vaccinations and updated shots. Mav and Jayden were like pincushions, they got hit all over!

It's been a while, so how about some updates?!?

  • Kari is all done with Golf and is helping out a bit with Volleyball in the absence of Sue Gabbert at Calumet. Coach Gabbert is out of work and is receiving treatment for cancer. Go Sue, get better soon!
  • Jaecy has a new website! I'll add it on here and on the sidebar.
  • I tweaked my back last Friday but have recovered quickly and am back to feeling good!
  • We picked up a copy of the movie Iron Man! It's a fun movie to watch, we all enjoy watching it.
