Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow!

Kaleb Timothy was born on September 26th at 9:37 a.m.
He was 7 lbs. 12 oz. and 21 inches long.

And of course he is adorable and very well-behaved!

Not a bad head of hair for a one-day- old! They're making noises about it being red.

There is red hair on both sides of the family. Or is it just the reflection from Jess's hair?!

Results of Poll

Thanks to all those who added to the fun by entering a prediction of Junaita's delivery date.
Grandpa Schmidt's date was the closest. He was 1 day early at September 25th. Michael and Sharlene McDonald's prediction of the time was within 5 minutes of being on: Kaleb was born at 9:37 a.m. and they predicted 9:42. Ten people predicted a girl, and only 4 a boy. Juanita certainly kept us all guessing! She delivered with only one prediction date left. By the way, it was on the day of the full moon.

Visiting with Darrell and Jess

Their street is gorgeous this time of year!

Enjoying Beauty

Yellow-headed blackbird in the evening light

My sunflowers outside are freezing, but I still have one inside! When I thinned out my sunflowers I planted one in a pot. Now I can enjoy it awhile longer than the other ones.

Trips


We've been north, south and east in the last few weeks. Haven't been home much.

For the first time we saw Lesser Slave Lake. As a kid I remember placing it on a map in school, and it always seemed so far north!

Sunflowers

My sunflower is 9 feet 4 inches. The yellow head is just beginning to peak through. Will it form before frost kills it?
