~ Well, with all of the excitement of getting the deer - there always follows the work of cutting and wrapping all of the meat. And, it is a JOB. Sweet little old Lou came over last night and is coming over again today to help us. He and Kev cut up the different steaks and roasts and stew meat, and I wrap and label all of it. Then, we give him some of the meat and feed him all day. It's a pretty good system.
~ Pretty much all of this week we have been fighting a nasty cold bug. It's gone through the whole camp, and it has NOT been fun. We all feel like today we are starting to get back on top of our games. Finally.
~ During one of those sick days, the boys and I snuggled up on the couch and watched Toy Story 3. And I cried like a baby at the end. Oh man. Super sappy. Or, maybe it was just because I was feeling sick. Either way - there were tears!
~ And finally, the biggest deal of the week.......A hometown boy up in my neck of the woods was killed in combat this week. It has completely rocked everyone in the community up there. One of the beauties of living in a small, hometown is that everyone knows everyone. We rejoice with each other and we grieve with each other. And there has been some heavy grieving up there this week. If you think, please pray for the community and that family. It has hit home, and it has hit deeply. The family is very committed in their faith, and they are glorifying God through all of this - but it is heavy.

Will keep the folks in the county in our prayers...so very difficult; I can't even imagine.
In other news, it was nice to run into Uncle Kevy yesterday. Shawn and I both agreed that he keeps getting taller every time we see him...is he having a growth spurt? Perhaps it's just our memory which is lacking... :o)
