Making a Basket

Every year Longaberger basket comes to Boyds bear country in Gettysburg and this year Jen and I went and made our baskets. I don't have a picture of the final basket but it is really cute.

Musical talent

We started out by playing wii and then it went down hill from there!! Larry use to play the accordion so we brought the beast out (and I do mean beast) and did our best. Then we also set up rock band from wii and again all I can say is...at least you just have to look at the pictures you didn't have to hear it!! Be Thankful!!!

Me....and it looks like I may be singing.....yikes!!


I think Kate is really liking this!!!

Wellsboro Grand Canyon

2 days after B arrived we took a rode trip to Wellsboro. We did many things and B made some great friends that I know she will have forever! This is the very famous Wellsboro's "little" Grand Canyon.

Jess and Linds.....funny thing about this photo....2 seconds after this picture was taken B say a snake and all the girls went running, climbing, and screaming away!!

B's 1st day in America

B's 1st day in America and we put her to work baking. Ok, so it was not that hard and really she enjoyed it as well!!! She did most of it on her own.....and the chocolate chip cookies turned out great. Good Job Berangere.

B enjoying the fruits of her labor!


Yummy!!!


She is a natural!!



B is not happy that I am putting these photo's on the blog because she said she looks bad.....I don't think so....but keep in mind she just arrived less then 12 hours before this photo was taken.

Long Time

So much has happened. You will see a lot of pictures of our exchange student Berangere from France.....we call her "B". Enjoy the pics!
