Gackle, ND!

Earlier this summer, we performed in Gackle, a small town in North Dakota. Hannah's parents and younger brother accompanied us in their family camper, and we all had a great time meeting the people, performing, playing board games in the camper, and staying up late!

The drive into Gackle features this great display of red, white, and blue tires spelling out the name of the town. If you look really closely, you can see us standing in the letters!

After performing at the Baptist church in Gackle on Sunday night, we were asked to play at the Gackle Care Center on Monday morning. We had a lot of fun playing for the residents there!

Babies on the Farm!

This summer, I (Hannah) have been busy taking care of baby animals. It's kind of sad how it came about, but in the end God worked everything together for good! My cat had kittens and then disappeared or died. Our red cow died giving birth to her calf. So now my family and I are on baby duty! I took some pictures of our babies so you could enjoy them too!

When the kitties have a full tummy of milk, they like to settle into the dogs' bed for a nap!

Our dog, Thor, got tired of sleeping on the cement in the garage, so he decided to catch a few winks with the kitties.

I love having bottle calves. We hadn't had one for a couple of years. She is soooo cute! If she hears you outside, she imediatly starts mooing for some milk!

I love the size difference in not only our babies, but also their bottles. You wouldn't believe how fast the babies scarf down their supper.

Having all these babies reminds me of God's gift of life! It makes me want to make certain I am living my days out for Him!

CD Recording Trip to Wisconsin

We arrived in Wisconsin late on Tuesday night, June 4th, eager to catch a good night’s sleep in this wonderful cabin, full of memories from last year.

Our lovely cabin

In the morning, we were all excited to begin recording in Jason Keillor’s amazing recording studio, known as ELM studio.

The studio

We are so very thankful for Mrs. Becky Berge for taking the time to practice, travel, and record with us. Thank You!

We got a little silly and had a bit of fun between recording sessions!

But, thanks to our moms, we got the job done.

The meals we shared together as one large group included: the Keillors, Mindy and her kids, Melanie, Mrs. Berge, us four girls, and our moms. It was so much fun!

Elianna had a grand old time playing on the tire swing outside the studio! She is so adorable!

All in all, our trip went well. We want to thank Mindy, Melanie, and Mrs. Berge for their help in preparing for the recording and at the studio. Also, thanks to Melanie for the wonderful photography for the new CD, and to Mindy for her late-night hours and wonderful creativity put into the CD design. The CD is going off to the duplicators and will soon be available. Above all else, we thank the Lord for his hand guiding us and loving us through it all.
