59c burgers!!!

I am visiting Paige this weekend and she had a genius idea last night to drive to the local Dairy Queen and order up 34 burgers as they are on for 59c! YOWZA! Reminded me of Jughead Jones from the Archie comics. I always wanted to order a huge platter of burgers like that... I guess now i can cross that off my "bucket list". eat like jughead jones

The First Day of the Rest of Our Lives Together!

Here is what it looks like at breakfast time. Uncle Neil was stealing snuggles from 3 girls. One from each family. :) When it's time to pray for the meal, starting to sing is the easiest way we've found to get everyone's attention... no whistling, no yelling to add to the noise level, and everyone joins in. It's a great tradition. Paige's family sometimes leads in singing the "Johnny Appleseed Prayer". It's fun and fast and lists everything on the table. Steph's family has added "Dona Nobis Pachem" to the singing prayers which fittingly means "give us peace" in latin. But tradition seems to usually call for "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow".

Happy New Year 2009!!!
