Nov. 24, 2009~ Elsa ~ |
Our little Elsa puppy. We've only had her for only 11 days and she already looks quite a bit bigger!
What are you all doing for Thanksgiving? We are going to our Grandma and Grandpa's house, along with our other Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, 4 year old cousin, and other Uncle for lunch. And I think we're bringing Elsa with. Have a wonderful day!

As some of you may know or have hinted from my mentions of it - our church has started a Bible Quizzing team! We memorize chapters (this year from 1 & 2 Cor. and Titus) and then every first Saturday of the month we compete against other teams. Well, last time we didn't do so well - let's just our team got 3rd place (last place) every time and I only answered two questions correctly. This time we got four 3rd places, one 2nd places, and two 1st places!! And this time I got fourteen questions answered correctly!!! Anna got five! So just to say, we are having allot more fun now!! Below is a picture of us quizzing last month, sorry, no pictures of this time.
Thank you for reading! ~Amber |

Oct. 30, 2009~ Our Own Leonberger Puppy! ~ |
We are getting a puppy in two weeks!!! After our beloved Boston Terrier died two month ago (read post), mom's been searching all over for a dog - preferably a large dog to gaurd. Our top two were the Leonbergers and the Bernese Mountian Dogs. Well, we finally found a little Leonberger in our price range yesterday!!! She's still only 5 weeks old so we can make the 3 hour drive to get her in a couple weeks.
Here she is, currently she is called "Dark Green & Orange" since that is the color of nail polish they put on her nails to tell her apart from the rest. Obviously we will be finding her a better name.
This is our puppy's papa, Braveheart, or Braver. Don't you just love the name.
This is our puppy's mama, Sweetie Pie. She is from Canada.
The Leonberger is a giant breed dog with it's foundation in the Newfoundland, Great Pyrenees and Saint Bernard breeds. The breed's name comes from the city of Leonberg, Germany. According to legend, the Leonberger was bred to look like the lion in the town's crest. It is a LGD (Livestock Guardian Dog) good at pulling carts & sleds, search & rescue, enjoys water play & hikes, and surprisingly, agility. It guards with it's size, not with it's teeth and is very loyal to it's flock and family. The average female (much smaller than the male) is about 27" - 29" to the shoulder and about 130 lbs.
Excitement abounds at our house!!! We will now be busy getting ready for a big dog - a big change from our little dog!
Thank you for reading! And thanks to mom for letting me copy most of her dog post to make it easier for me!! 
God Bless, Amber

Oct. 18, 2009~ Knitting Project Complete! ~ |
I had been working long and hard on a my knitted shawl and finally finished it a few days ago!! You can find the free pattern here. It is pretty easy - all you need to know is the garter stitch and how to increase one stitch at the beginning and end. It just takes some patience to get it done!!!
Sorry, I guess that's about it! God Bless,Amber

Oct. 13, 2009~ Harvest ~ |
|
Potatos are my favorite vegetable to haverst. It so fun to find them hidden beneath all that dirt. And of course you have to be dressed appropriately for this - I was wearing a non to fashionable apron to keep my white top and pink skirt clean, with bare feet and my hat. Along with the tomatos the potatos did really well - producing huge ones...
A regular store bought potato is about two pounds, our biggest ones were two and a half pounds.
Then we moved on to trying to find the onions - lost in all the weeds. But they didn't do as well, we had moved our garden to a different spot because this is our 7th year of gardening and we're giving our normal spot a sabbath. So we found only one regular size onion and the rest of them we're about the same size when we planted them!! But over all it went pretty good and that day we had to wash the dirt off from our toes to our knees and our fingers to our elbows before we were presentable for lunch!
Now it's snowing....
(I'm doing two pictures in one - showing the snow and progress on our sauna building). So far whenever the snow falls it melts away again, but it probably won't be long before it sticks. And by the way, about the sauna - Dad's got the siding done on the back wall and working on the others. We've got a nice little loft, but now it's rather to cold to enjoy it! I'll post a picture that you can see more later!
Hope this is finding you all well! My sister and I are a bit sick but I'm being positive and praying we will get better quickly!
God Bless,
Amber

Sep. 13, 2009~ Wisconsin Trip ~ |
Hello Friends,
A couple weeks ago (August 30th - September 1st) we went on vacation to Wisconsin. We stayed at our favorite waterpark again - it's soooo big and sooo much fun!!!
The Bumper Boats
Anna, Dad, and I coming down the "Hurricane". It's a funnel shaped slide with a steep drop. Fun!
Anna and I just having fun together (and I think the photo turned out quite well for doing it ourselves! :-)
Thank you for reading, sorry I haven't been posting very much!!! We started school last Tuesday and that's been going well, we're just pretty busy!
God Bless,
Amber
