On February 3, Jeff and his partner Greg McGrew will have their first auction. This sale will include all types of late model machinery. So that - I must say is what our life has consisted of these past few weeks. I will updated with some pictures of the auction lot full of machinery.

We are also anticipating the call from Cameron (our brother-in-law) that baby Dane has made his entrance into the world. We will make sure we send out an update when that day arrives.

Praise the Lord.

We just got word from the Zehring's that Andon's scan had some wonderful news. The MRI that Andon had today showed that there were still some spots left on the brain. However, they believe that these spots are either scar tissue or "dead" tumor tissues, because they have not changed or grown in size. Andon will have to continue to have routine MRI's but they feel that these spots will continue to show up for the next few scans. With all that said we would like to thank each one of you for your prayers for our little nephew and thank our Lord above for his healing mercies.

Thank You President Bush

"We have faced danger and trial, and there's more ahead. But with the courage of our people and confidence in our ideals, this great nation will never tire, never falter, and never fail."



"I have followed my conscience and done what I thought was right. You may not agree with some tough decisions I have made. But I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions."



"It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve as your President. There have been good days and tough days. But every day I have been inspired by the greatness of our country and uplifted by the goodness of our people. I have been blessed to represent this Nation we love. And I will always be honored to carry a title that means more to me than any other: citizen of the United States of America."

"And so, my fellow Americans, for the final time: Good night. May God bless this house and our next President. And may God bless you and our wonderful country. Thank you." - George W. Bush

Oh the weather outside is frightful . . . .

. . . but the fire is so delightful. Well the weather here in Indiana is definitely a winter wonderland. We have had around 8-10 inches of snow in the past two days, so we have been taking advantage of the weather and staying warm and cozy inside the house.

Weekend at home

This past weekend Jeff and I enjoyed a weekend at home enjoying the snowy weather. On Saturday I attended a baby shower for Andrea while Jeff attended the diaper party in honor of her husband Curtis. The diaper party was something I have never heard of but from the sounds of it, it was great time. The stipulations for the diaper party are each man is required to take one pack of diapers to party for the father-to-be. Therefore when the baby arrives the new parents should have enough diapers to go around for a while.
