Paul D. The Baker.

Paul D. enjoys baking. Here he's made a batch of Andes Chocolate Mint Chip cookies. We call these the dangerous cookies, unlike regular chocolate chip cookies, these are not as rich and you end up eating more and getting that sick feeling before you know it.



These are chocolate covered peppermint sugar cookies. Paul wanted to add a little extra to his usual sugar cookies so he decided not to sprinkle sugar on them and put chocolate icing with some bits of a candy cane sprinkled on top.

The Lord's Blessings, Grace, and Mercy.

Johnny was born Dec. 2, at 3:16 pm in Williston, ND. His weight was 8 lbs 1/2 oz. He was 20.5 inches long. The kids stayed home, they were not allowed in the hospital due to swine flu. The hospital is only allowing one person to be with the moms.

Johnny was brought home yesterday Dec. 3rd (our anniversary 15 yrs). It was quite an event. All of the children were so excited to see their new brother. There was alot of pushing and shoving when mom sat in the recliner with him as the girls tried to see him face to face. Amber particularly did not want anyone else around and was pushing everyone out of the way as she wanted Johnny all to herself.


















Johnny's first experience with suround sound.
