I know that this isn't a great picture but you should be able to
I got to spend time with all my brothers and sisters-in-law. We stayed up till 2am playing Taboo. (The girls won!!!) The next day we all worked together cleaning and cooking and setting up for the party. It was a lot of fun.
My Uncle Jose flew in and I had a great time visiting with him and my Dad. There was a live band with dancing and great music. My brother Matthew and his wife Eva played and sang and Fernando was on the Drums along with Uncle Jose on the Congas. 
I am so excited for my brother Nathan and his wife. They are setting out on a road trip for their honeymoon and will be stopping here in Minnesota in a few weeks. We can't wait to spend more time with them.
I bandaged it all up and he took a 3 hour nap. It looked very painful!! A big gash under his nail and his whole nail bed is black and blue. 
Then he stayed up till 1 am last night crying! He was up at 8 this morning and seems to be back to himself other than a slight limp and a big ball of gauze on his foot. Mommy is not quite back to normal yet.... oh the trauma of a sleepless night.
Even the dogs got to come....
We neared home just as the first fat raindrops of a thunder storm began to fall.
Then, just as they started to pull the top open....
They were so surprised and so excited. Mark flew in for the weekend to spend time with his family and us. We are so glad to have the whole family here.
Later, this evening when Bethany saw Marks luggage in the guest room, she said to Becky, "Mommy, did daddy have his suitcases in the box too."? I think she really though he came all the way to Minnesota in that Box
But for the occasion, it did warm up to about 50 degrees and a beautiful mist rolled in.
It was as if we went to sleep in Minnesota 
They rode lots of rides and got a few fun treats....
The were brave and daring and got to experience the thrill of being just a little bit 
...lots of kiddie rides too.
The Mommies and Daddy are quite exhausted though and hoping for an early bed time.
It was a fun new adventure for everyone.
The fun was cut short by the cold breeze across the frozen lake. The kids trickled in to the house with cold feet and frozen noses, But it was a fun adventure none the less.
Thanks, Tanner for a great afternoon.
David shared some scriptures and we had a great time of worship.
It was so great to worship with friends and family.
We had a great time of dancing, singing and shouting the praises of our God.
Yesterday, My Baby Brother got Married to a Beautiful gift from Heaven.
We are having so much fun with a baby in the house. And not just any baby... one that we have longed to meet ever since he was born. He is so sweet and happy and smart and Auntie Becky is sharing so nicely.... We are really enjoying getting to know him.
They all caught snow flakes in their tongues and got their hair coated in flakes.
They thought the forest had turned into Narnia and they never wanted to come in.
What a beautiful memory.
After a meal and a long nap, the kids couldn't wait to get out in the snow. We suited everyone up and watched with delight as they experience a winter wonderland for the first time.
Joshua declared that it was the most fun he has ever had. He was catching on quickly with the snow board and is already an expert at the Snow Ball Fight.
Even Baby Justus got in on the action..... 6 months old and already sledding down the hills. Of course he was safely tucked inside his mommies jacket like a Kangaroo in a pouch. And Bethany just couldn't wipe that smile off her face. We are having a great time and promise to update with more pictures soon.
It is a task that requires great strategies and perfect execution for both teams. As I sit inside blogging this adventure, the score is Dad: 2 points and kids: 12 points.
Poor dad, pressed down but not beaten, he goes up the hill for another try.
We sang Happy Birthday and blew out candles.....several times.
We picked out this fun stuffed snake for Jonah. He loves it and has been playing with it all day.
Our Friends, Chuck and Kathi came over for dinner and to celebrate with us. Uncle Chuck was spinning Jonah around and he just kept asking for more until they were both about to fall over.
We prayed and thanked God for the special gift he has given us in our son Jonah. He is such a happy, sweet boy. At dinner we all shared about our favorite thing that Jonah does or says. Jonah has a habit of interjecting into situations by saying "Wonderful, Wonderful God". This is one of our favorites. I remember, when Jonah was first diagnosed with Autism, my main prayer was that he would know God's love, that he would be able to give and receive love and that he would have joy. I believe that God is answering those prayers. We continue to ask God to heal him completely and we ask that you agree with us in prayer that his full destiny will be fulfilled in Christ Jesus.
