First attempt at a co-worker picture
We'll have to try again as I do not fancy seeing this picture on anyone's fridge in the near future. However, I'll go ahead and share it just in case the "official" one is a long time coming.

Back to Indiana
On Saturday night, Karmen brought me back to my field. She stayed through our Gospel Meeting on Sunday, so I got to enjoy a little more time with her before the lovely holiday weekend was officially over.
One last shot before good-bye
Happy Birthday, Karmy!
To celebrate Karmen's 28th birthday, we met Grandma and Grandpa Rodgers at a hotel in Champaign on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Before parting ways on Saturday, we made many special memories and took a few pictures. Here's a sampling.

I'm not sure what Fleece was saying here, but I am sure it was worth hearing!
We got to share the delicious pound cake made by Grandma. Yum!

GRANOLA
My grandma makes the most amazing granola you've ever put in your mouth. She makes me some every time I come, for which I am most truly grateful. This was Fleece's first time to enjoy this amazing cereal. She gives it two hooves (hoofs) up.
Save some for me!

The Entertainment - Part 9
Just to clarify:
This was only entertaining for SOME of the LiaBraatens. However, those of us who stayed indoors were happy to enter into the victories of the mighty fishermen as long as they cleaned up before they got too close!
The Entertainment - Part 8
I'm beginning to lose track here. We had much entertainment! Here is a less strenuous form of entertainment in which a few participated. Here are the ones I caught with my camera.
Turkey'll do that to ya!

A few family portraits

Parker attempts to be the photographer and the subject.
Attempt #1
Attempt #2
I'm so glad I belong to such a normal family!
The Entertainment - Part 5
A family of masseurs? masseuses? masseese? back rubbers
Reach, Catie, Reach!
Double duty as a scalp rubber
The lovely result
The ever-present LiaBraaten back rubbing chain. Stinks to be at the end! That's why they usually end up in a circle. Circles don't work too well on stairs though. So let's all have a moment of silence to express our sympathy for Lacie and assume that Catie paid her back later. (No pun intended)
The Entertainment - Part 4
Nerf Wars
The Elliott LiaBraaten children brought an assortment of nerf guns and demonstrated their power to the less armed LiaBraatens. If you're ever invited to their house, I would be very careful!
Serious business
Parker sets up his machine gun
Hostage?
He surrenders anyway!
