Not Halloween!

It has been way too long since I last posted. I suppose this has something to do with the rapid pace of life. The weeks seem to simply fly by.

Andrew and I are both doing well. We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at my Aunt Sallee's. Andrew and my dad went deer hunting and my dad tagged a trophy buck. Apparently this deer was well known in the surrounding area as "The Goat Buck." My dad is particularly fond of the name and was answering to "Goat Buck Daddy" for a brief period of time. This deer was (no joke) 175 lbs field dressed.
I get hungry just thinking about it. Andrew was not as lucky and failed to see even so much as a squirrel in the woods. He did, however, manage to stay warm which is no small feat in the northwoods.

Before we were able to escape to the south, Wisconsin was hit by a bit of a snow storm, dropping around 20" on us. Luckily this all happened on a weekend. Unluckily, it was the weekend we had a Ferge get-together planned. We rescheduled. Church was cancelled. Snow plows were told to stay off the streets for their safety- you get the idea.

Christmas was spent in AZ this year. Through almost 3 weeks, we were able to see all of Andrew's immediate family. It was really nice. We headed to our local church more than once to allow everyone some extra space. We were even present to meet the newest Hughes- Carter, born on December 27th. How great! We were so grateful to be welcomed in so many places, some of them more than once- thanks a million!
