Hey Family and Friends,
I'm trying multiple pictures and captions on one post today. I'm really streeeeeeetching here! This first picture is of Divya and our two carved pumpkins at Halloween time.

This next picture is Divya and our Christmas tree. Our tree has all white lights indicating the starry night sky over Bethlehem. It also has lots of angels representing the heavenly host proclaiming, "Glory to God in the Highest! On Earth, Peace, and good will toward men." I'm sure it includes women, too!

Finally, we have a picture of Divya sporting brand new pierced ears. It is part of her 9th birthday celebration. She also has a small red sticker on the center of her forehead. In India this is called a bindi. Red means she is unmarried. To date I haven't arranged anything for her future, so if you know of anyone wanting to negotiate a prearranged marriage, let me know!

Well, the last try worked, so here goes one more. This is a picture of the boat we purchased last August. A few of you have asked to see a picture. It is a deck boat so it is pretty versatile for fishing, lounging, picnicing, tubing/skiing, etc. We like to go to Lake Geneva, WI and Lake Delavan, WI. We only had it out a few times this past fall, so I hope this coming summer we'll have lots of opportunities to take it out.



This is a test to see if I can get a picture posted on our blogspot. What should be seen is a picture of Jeni and Divya in front of a flower garden at the Longaberger Basket factory in Ohio last Mothers' Day. This also happened to be Matt and Joy's graduation and wedding weekend.

Hi All,
Just trying out this blog thing. If I figure this out, I'll get some pictures up, too. This is a test post.
