Just a few minutes

Just a few minutes to do a quick post. So, the 9th our church had it's huge annual kick-off. They do a big hot dog and hamburger dinner and then have tons of blow up games for the kids. The parents then have a chance to get info on awanas, Bible bowl, youth groups, choir and other good stuff going on at church. here is Grant enjoying his hot dog! What a cutie!

On the 8th, a lady from dan's work blessed us with this huge package. What was inside you ask... beef!!! Yes, 40lbs. of yummy fresh beef. We were going to see about butchering it ourselves, but decided to have it done. $18 later we have a freezer full of T-Bones and Rib Eyes! You can't excite a Southwest Kansas girl any easier than giving her free beef (essentially free). But, the lady from Dan's work did... yesterday, she gave us another 45lbs. WooHoo!!! For a family on a tight budget this beef is a blessing from God!!! I took it today to get butchered, we'll have to see what we get from that chunk of beef!

We also had the opportunity to pick grapes and got 2 huge bags full of grapes . That was on Labor Day! God has been blessing us left and right with ways to pinch pennies!


Also, here is a fun pix of 4 of my nieces and nephews. They have started going to Catholic School after being homeschooled. They LOVE IT!!! I mean love it! They think it is the greatest thing ever! The oldest one had the hardest time going, but he knew most of the kids in his class and is really enjoying it! (Sorry, Grant had literally just woke up from his nap and didn't want the kids to hold him, he just watned his aunt Tara)
We will post more on all that has been going on, but I will have to do that either tomorrow or Friday! Blessing to you all for now!! Tara Jean
