Found a unopened pack of girly onesies at the thrift store.  One of them had embroidered on it "Born in 2011".  Keith quickly volunteered to fix that :) . . . Here's his handiwork (very skilled big bro this little lady will have)!!!

 Kara & Grace Joy's room done!!

 Ian even got new carpet!  Where's all my stuff (and overseeing the vacuuming).

 Next room prepped by Jeff for more demo!

 And w/ Michael . . . they got the window & wall, etc demolished!  Waiting for the support beam and then rebuild begins!

After skyping with our WONDERFUL friends in the Congo, we went to the mailbox and got some COOL outfits Mrs Anna had made and had sent to us!  Then, we went to church this morning, and the Wegners were the mission spotlight!  They had Kara and Simon come up front to show off their new duds that matched the ones Ian, Isabelle, Caleb were wearing in the picture on the big screen!

While big boys were away playing football, Kara and Simon were being goofball photographers!

Thanksgiving fun!  The big guys joined in for the first annual Turkey Bowl (brrr!) with some other fun guys from church.  They came by with lots of tales of great plays, and Jeff moved a bit slower for a couple of days as he recovered from being the "best player in his age group" :)!

Kara and Simon are enjoying a few fun thrift store finds - light up Spiderman shoes & a Memphis Zoo shirt!

 Keith's Facs for Life class has worked for a couple of months on a quilt project.  Here is his completed quilt for his new baby sister.  He even had time to make a matching pillow!!

One of Jacob's big projects for the last couple of weeks has been in Social Studies where they are learning about Ancient Egypt.  They had partners in class and made a plaster bandage mask of their own face.  They had to bring it home and create a Egyptian burial mask.  Here's his final project to be turned in tomorrow!!

Demo & rebuild in Kara's room!!  More photos to come . . . we're now almost ready to paint & carpet!  Next room - boys' room transformed into a family/guest room/office and old office carpeted for Keith, Jacob, & Simon to move into with their three leveled bunk!!!

Halloween sillyness!!!

Snow in October!
