This is sweet little Lilly - Susan's granddaughter. The girls trade watching her periodically and got to watch her this week while Jason and Jenny were in Arizona.

This is Kyrie Jo, working on Calculus homework. She is smiling at the moment, though she has a test tomorrow, and a couple of problems that have stumped her.

Here is a sample problem. Any help from anyone?

Kayren is getting ready for a Physical Science test tomorrow. Look how happy all these girls look about their tests! Wow!

And, here is Lorien, working on Algebra I. And she is smiling too! How can this be?

This is Tom after his Cubbies lost. What a sad game! It would have been easier to accept the loss if the Cubs had played reasonably well. Oh well. The possible agony anticipated last week won!

This is Oscar looking very strange. He runs away from the camera. I am not sure what he thinks it is going to do to him, but he definitely doesn't like it!

And, this week brings a homecoming for Grandview. Kyrie is very excited about that. Chuck Muether will be ordained this week. He is our assistant pastor and working on a church plant in Pella. Dad and Mom are back home in Minn, but sick. Adrian and Susan don't blog anymore! Jathan might be home over Thanksgiving with some friends. Kesse doesn't write, call, or communicate anymore either. We hope that she is still doing well.

Aleya is in bed, so she missed the pictures. Maybe we'll get the chance to take more tomorrow.

Alan Strange was our guest preaching this morning and was outstanding! We had a wonderful worship service today.
