WOW!

Ok Melissa you were right! I want the 1 degree temp back. Today we left the house and it was -13 degrees. I think it's warmed up a bit to -5 now. Bring out the shorts!!! Our windchill today is -36 and the kids are still going strong in school today. They will be antsy by Friday I'm sure. We love ya'll...

Oops

So I went to post all of our pics from the last few months and found that all of them have been deleted. I have no pictures of halloween, thanksgiving, or our Christmas programs. Sorry about that. Our kids have been playing with the camera and they must have hit the button. We are all excited to be almost done with school until next year. We are just living day by day in this cold tundra. It reached 1 degree last night when I was on my way home from church. Wow, I never thought I would be able to function in that cold temp but really you get used to it around here. The kids go out at recess except for when the windchill is below 0. Craziness!!! Well, I'll try to retake some of our Christmas pics that we took at church on Sunday. They were so nice and pretty. Hope you are all doing well. Much Love...

Posting

I am so sorry to those of you who read our blog on a daily basis. Please do not give up on us. We are extremely busy with Christmas programs and our computer died at home. We will be spending Thanksgiving here in SD alone with just the 5 of us (Joe Joe was included in that). Hopefully we will have a chance to blog some. We brought Mike's laptop home from the church and will try to get on the web to share some pics with you. We miss you all and wish we could be with you for the holidays.

Where's Fall?

I thought it was about time to blog for all of you that follow us. Our computer at home got a really bad virus and won't even turn on now so it has taken us a while to get back on here. We are now in the middle of winter it seems. I think I just blinked and Fall was over. Yesterday was Veteran's Day and we got snow. It got warm after that and started melting. I think that is it for a few days. Now we are enveloped in fog. We don't seem to be able to get out of it. We are all doing well. Alex has developed her annual nasty cough. Tym is excited to build his snowmen outside of your townhouse. Yesterday he built sissy. School is going well for him, grades are awesome, behavior we are working on. Mike is busy as always at the church, bowling, playing basketball etc... Kris is busy putting the finishing touches on the Christmas program at school. Only 4 weeks left AAHHH!!! Joe Joe is lonely, awaiting the arrival of his best friend Ottie. Someday they will be together again. We love and miss you all.

Halloween

Just a note to let you all know that I haven't forgotten to blog. I just don't have any new info to share. We are having some beautiful weather here and are gearing up for our Harvest Bash tomorrow night with the youth. The kids are going to trunk-or-treat tonight at one of the baptist churches here in Sioux Falls. That should be fun. We are going to be taking lots of pics for all of you. We love you so much...miss you

NO SNOW!

Well, everyone was really worried that it might snow today. No luck...so sorry. We had a lot of rain in the last few days. It didn't stop at all. I think they said we had 2 inches of rain. It got real cold yesterday at about 32 or so. Now we have to swim every where we go. Everyone here is doing well. Tym has finished up one semester already here at the school. If you are interested in raising money for our school here's some info on how to do it for free. Go to www.goodsearch.com. When you get there put Christian Center Elementary School in the charity box. Every time you use goodsearch.com it gives us money. It's just a search engine through yahoo. You can get to all of your regular sites on there it just gives us money when you do it. Thanks in advance...We love you all and miss you too.

Howdy

It's been a few days since I've updated you on the Hofer's. We have been trying to get back into the swing of things. Mike has been gone a lot in the last few weeks and that usually throws everything off. The big thing here in SD right now is that it's raining a lot and we have a chance of snow tonight. Wow, it's only October. That's what we get for moving to the real north. Winter coats, hats, gloves and scarfs have been found and have been used for the last few days. We are so thankful for a warm house to live in and a garage to put our jeep in. No scraping the windows this winter. PRAISE THE LORD!!! Hope you are all doing well.
