Visitors, and a Great Big Monster...

Black

One of Ben's presents -- isn't it adorable?

One day, a very tantalizing present arrived in the mail...

...it contained a very precious, handmade gift!

I love, love all the beading!!!

What is Andrew watching?

Here it is -- the Great Big Monster! The guys fixed it, and in return are allowed to use it for our pond and any neighbors' who would like to pay to have their ponds dug deeper!

Mom & Dad, watching their very capable eldest son. :) I love this photo!


The day the Great Big Monster arrived, some friends from OK came through and stayed the night! Here various people cluster around and on the GBM. ;)

That evening was also a long-standing dinner date with the T. family, so they came over as well. :) Gathering for Capture the Flag...

After-dinner discussions

Emily (6) and William (4) were such fun! We drew pictures together...


Posing :)

Telling jokes...

Singing hymns...

And more talk. :) :) A great evening!

Next afternoon, Deborah inspects the GBM. :)

  1. Oh now we have to name it...

    GBM for great big monster.
    Behemoth also sounds nice.
    Mammoth perhaps, but that sounds more like a 15 passenger van.
    GYB for gigantic yellow bulldozer. But is it a bulldozer? I'm woefully ignorant of the finer points of construction equipment.
    The Razor? The Mulcher? Nah....

    .......... :-/

    I've got it!!!!!! Tiny Tim

  2. LOVE the name ideas!!! :) ;) I wasn't exactly sure either what the correct title was, but I was informed it is a trackloader.
    The others are great names (it does look sortof prehistoric and Behemoth-ish!), but Tiny Tim is just PERFECT. The perfect blend of the tongue-in-cheek humorous and the season... ;) ;)
    Love -- and God bless us, every one!
