::Butchering::
A couple of weeks ago a steer went down at a feed lot near some friends' (the Busenitz's) farm, so we had the opportunity to butcher and split the meat with a couple of families from church. Since Mr. & Mrs. Busenitz were gone on a trip, they let us take over their kitchen, equipment, and their boys' help. ;-) Beef from the store isn't cheap for a large family, so this free meat was a wonderful blessing!
The older guys did the cutting and grinding while the gals packaged up all the meat.
Mr. Smith did a professional job of cutting out the steaks and roasts!
The younger boys enjoyed the outdoors on the Busenitz farm.
::Bathroom Construction::
We've been having some mold problems in our main bathroom, so the guys have been working on removing some of the tile in the shower and replacing the sheet rock.
Daddy's little helper. ;-)
::Birthday Celebration::
We celebrated Trevor's 19th birthday along with some of his friends (the Busenitz boys).
He decided he wanted cherry pie & ice cream instead of a cake ...nobody complained, and Kara & Bethany enjoyed exercising their creativity on the pie crust. ;-)

::Selling Firewood::
Trevor & Matthew have been splitting and selling some of the firewood they collected last winter. So, if you're in the market for some seasoned firewood.... :-)
We didn't get any pictures of them working on splitting and stacking the firewood, but here's a picture of their first order waiting to be picked up by a customer.
::Ice Skating::
Thursday afternoon we went to the ice arena to skate with some friends for a couple of hours. A big snow storm was just moving in when we left, and there was already a couple inches of snow on the ground when we got home.
::Snow::
John enjoyed watching the snow still falling the next morning.
This measurement was taken first thing in the morning, but we ended up with 7 to 8 inches by the end of the day!!! Bring out the sledding equipment!! ;-)
