Prayers

Hey everyone! This is just my request for your prayers for my brother. Kendall found out today that he is being deployed to Afghanistan on December 15th to meet up with his new unit. Thanks for your prayers for his safety!

Thanksgiving 2007

Once again we hosted Thanksgiving at our place this year. We were short the siblings (which made it just a little too quiet!) but both sets of parents joined us. It was a relaxing week, the Scheer folks came in on Saturday and then the Selis arrived on Tuesday

We took advantage of the gorgeous weather we had this week and took Stan and Karen to a park on the Sound. It was a beautiful day, but very chilly, especially if you got out of the sun! We saw seals, and took pictures, and collected driftwood, and watched boats. It was definitely a Pacific Northwest experience (but sunny!)
Of course Stan once again had to strike a "Sexiest Man of the Year" pose somewhere. At least this time he didn't almost fall in the water! As always there were random strangers wondering what the heck we were doing. Brandon and Dad Seli got a bike ride in and Brandon actually survived (just barely!) check out the spandex!!! Or don't, it really is disturbing! .

We Have a Hot Tub!

While he was here Dad Scheer did the electrical so we can hook up our hot tub that was donated to camp. (We thought we should let an electrician handle the electricity + water scenario!) It went off with only one minor hitch and we are enjoying it!

How Much Longer?

Hello! How is it going for all of you that are interested enough in our boring lives to check this thing? We are doing pretty well. Today was a tough day at school for me (Carole), people in class are dropping like flies, sick, personal difficulties, etc. We counted today and there are only six weeks left in the quarter! Yeah! It seems like a long time, but I know that I am going to be so busy it is going to go by way faster than I can write Christmas cards. So, if you don't get one, sorry! We are in St. Louis for Christmas this year, and since I am in school and have a long break we get to go for 11 days. I plan on sleeping a LOT!
Smokey is good, but he has developed a taste for baked goods. Twice in the last week we have come home to him having eaten all the bread products off the counter. Hmmm, he might be eating himself back into the crate again!
I think that about sums up the excitement. Continued prayers for camp and the staff and board are always appreciated as they continue to work to do God's will here. Brandon is doing great and still biking and running when I don't talk him into eating instead. :) Love you all!
