There is another post coming for the second half of our journey....so stay tuned.
Layover in Atlanta, GA.....
Grandpa Altena with their little pugs dog and the kiddies....
Pugsly isn't so sure about kiddies....
I don't know if it is just me, but the Altena resemblance is pretty strong here! This is Netter Grandpa. We had a great time talking with Grandpa while Mom and Grandma ran a few shopping errands.
Bummer Net wasn't in the pic, but she was taking the picture....
Ellie loves giving kisses....
The boys were busy cutting firewood while we were away.
And playing with hydrogen then next day......boys will be boys!
I love this pic. Ellie wanted Netter to hold her.
We went to Wednesday evening church at the BNC in Harrison. They were raising money to help build clean water wells in Africa. They project was called Dirty Water and everyone was supposed to bring change they had collected in the "Dirty Water" bottles. It was an awesome project and they were able to raise enough money to supply 5 clean wells.
James was on his way to participate in the singing...
The little kids sang a song and the really little people (that would be James) clapped.
James wasn't quite sure what to do.... :)
Taking a bath in Bomma's 'swimming pool'....
I am pretty sure that this was some surgery goodness...Ellie approves.
He liked his ViewMaster....
She has her college savings fund on well on the way thanks to Uncle Aaron and Auntie Meg...
Whatever it was, it must have been good!
Aaron and his latest horse....
She had the whole surprised and amazed look down by the end of it all..... :)
She loves her Uncle Bert....she even says it like an Aussie.
We three....
We four....
Ellie and Boppa were happy to soak up some warmth by the fire....with a sippy of milk. We had a ton of fun. It is always great to go back to Mom and Dad's. I spent fifteen years before Bert and I were married, within a half a mile of there. And lived within five miles of there for all but 1 1/2 years of my growing up. It is a good place.

PRICELESS PICTURES - can't wait for the second half!!
What a good time you must have had. We enjoyed your visit with us before Christmas.
You also surprised me with another blog this morning. Last night before turing in, I saw your Harley blog and this morning it was covered up with another one. Great--I love to keep up with what is going on in you guys life.
Oh it was a great time. Glad you could make the trip and we thank you for taking the time. Miss you bunches and looking forward to the next visit whenever that may be.
Awesome, awesome, awesome!Loved every minute of your visit. Also after the final count was done BNC ended up with enough money for almost 11 wells. Isn't that great?! Miss you.
There is nothing like being home for the holidays!!
