I know, I know. It's been a long time since I've blogged. It's not that I didn't want to. I was all ready to post weeks ago. It seemed all the answers to the Winner of the Week challenge had been submitted. All were way off. In fact, only one person even guessed one of the quotations correctly. That person turned out to be Jon signed in as his wife. So I spent a few weeks making this banner:
Just as I went to post it, I noticed a new comment in my comment section. It was from Marae and she had guessed them all correctly. Yes, it's true; all of those quotes belong to Elise. The fourth one was on Marae's blog and the fifth one was on Elise's. I have spent the last few weeks creating a new poster for Marae--the true Winner of the Week!
Unfortunately, she hasn't posted an unobstructed picture of her face since she's been married, so I had to make do with what I had.
Strange, I know. But not as strange as the first time I heard some of the nieces and nephews singing "I saw Uncle Ben kissing Aunt Marae..." to the tune of I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus. I guess it's still taking a while to get used to having another Uncle Ben in the family.
Well, as you know, I've been up in Washington for a couple months. David's secret dream is to have the whole family move up here. It is a really nice place and full of natural beauty. Here's a picture of Deception Pass Bridge from Whidbey Island.
And here's a picture of Cooper and Sophia sledding after it snowed a few weeks ago.
Although they love playing together, they are overjoyed to have the Barben cousins so close. In fact, Cooper started a blog to chronicle his new adventures with them (however, the title of his blog sounds more like a reality TV show that pits two people from different walks of life against each other for the chance to win big money).
Speaking of games that pit people against one another for the chance to win big money, I have some bad news. The Winner of the Week challenge will be postponed until further notice.

Thanks for the handsome picture of Jon! Once again, your talents never cease to amaze me!
The picture of Jon is creepy. I first thought it was me! I was like-Great what did I win?
hardy har har nice picture. when are you going to have another contest for me to win?
ben says he wants to start a blog with you called "one fat boy trying to get skinny one skinny boy trying to get fat pounds pounds pounds." he would be the one losing weight. you could complain about how you can't keep your weight up at mom's house and he would complain about how i won't let him eat just cucumbers for dinner (which he always wants to do).
ps: i can't comment on cooper's blog...will you help him with comment settings?
Funny, My secret dream is to have the whole family move to eastern California (beautiful Plumas county)or Western Nevada and have our own home school. At least California allows $2000 for each student for supplies, lessons, computer, books, etc. Everyone could have a part in teaching, babysitting, chauffeuring or contributing to the success of the education in their own way.
