This is a piece of a bigger picture. I welcome one and all to guess at what it is. In one week I’ll give the answer, and post a new one. Good luck and may the guessing begin.
Esta es una parte de la foto grande. Hay que adivinar lo que es. En una semana regreso con la respuesta y otra foto. ¡Suerte!
In the recent months I have begun to eat more beef, however this is turkey. I took the picture a couple weeks ago because I was grossed out by the blood, and it almost caused me not eat it. So I am sharing it here.
Today we drove to St Louis to take Erin back to the airport. We will miss her and hope she has a great semester. After we dropped her off we went to find the Panera Bread Company and The Viking Store that we found on our honeymoon. So we took Karen to see the cool store and while there found The Container Store, the ultimate OCD enabler. And amazingly enough the weather was pretty good.
Also, yesterday our friend Evan did a photo shoot for us (Jacob’s family).

Here is the answer to the last quiz I posted more than a month ago. I apologize for such a delay. We had some holidays take over my life. I updated and now I will be back on task, I hope.
I figured mom would get this answer easily. She has a remote just like this one. It is pretty close anyhow.
Look for the quizzes on Mondays and the answers on Sundays.
Mother nature decided to usher in the new year with bad snow, yet again. It took us almost two hours to get from Macomb to Danville. When we finally got there we celebrated Geneva and Gretchyn turning one! They have come such a long way.
After the girls ate cake** and opened presents, we were finally able to end Christmas by giving our last presents to Rob, Katilyn, and Lydia. Because of weather they arrived after everyone else had left.
Lydia was so excited to hold Gretchyn and look at the “little” person!
Do you think these noses are related?

Today after church we went to my mom’s for Christmas party number 1015**. But too much Christmas makes you weird.
Evidence:

**OK, that is an exaggeration, but who is counting?
Karen was hired to take wedding photos for a young couple. I went as her assistant. The day started out cold but no wind**. By the time the wedding was over the wind was blowing hard***. We got some pretty good shots. I hope they are pleased with the results. I saw six brides today, and I understand that there were more before we got there.
The snow was crazy again today. It is days like this that make me wonder why Al Gore invented global warming, and why doesn’t it seem to work? It was anything but warm today.
Three of today’s brides.

**So it was relatively nice.
***That was not so nice.
We started off the day by running an errand**, and then heading over to Jacob’s parents’ house. I think everybody was pleased with everything they got. I got cool soup spoons. For those who don’t know, I love spoons. I love to eat cereal with soup spoons, and I love to eat any other creamy thing with a tiny spoon.***
We then proceeded to Iowa for festivities at dad’s house. Where Ronda made it known that they are expecting G4! We had a lot of fun. I kissed Jacob while he was holding Geneva and she grabbed on to his shirt and pulled herself up to his face and puckered. Geneva and Gretchyn are mimicking a bit now, and they like to mimic laughing. Only I think they sound more like dolphins. Listen for your self. Gretchyn was not too interested this time.

From there we headed over to Galesburg for Christmas over there. Everyone was extremely pleased with the project Karen has been working on. Good job Karen, all the hours paid off, even if they don’t all know how many hours you put into it.****

***some people call this a baby spoon, I call it a dessert spoon.
****Karen got a hold of Grandpa Carl’s slide from over the years. This whole years she has scanned them in to make digital prints, put them in order and cleaned them up to made a DVD for her mom and brothers and sister. It was a lot of work, and turned out great.
Jacob’s Grandma Neat came to town and brought us all really cool** sweaters. While she was here Jacob, Jared, Erin, and Andrew were leg wrestling. Jared beat Jacob, so Andrew showed him how to do it by flipping Erin, and Jacob then beat Jared.

Today, with the DVD project all finished, I have been finishing the sewing projects. I think people will like the things they are getting.*** I stayed up way too late sewing a certain project, and it shows. My stitches which should have been hidden stitches were definitely not hidden.****

**Actually, warm
***At least I hope they pretend to like them if they don’t really like them, and convincingly, not the “oh, I just got a banana for Christmas” kind of acting, while rolling eyes.
****I am Pretty sure I could have done that in my sleep, and I may have…
