What's new at the Plattners

So what's new at the Plattner? With a growing family there is plenty to report on. Sorry it's been a month, hopefully it will be sooner next time.

This video was taken about 10 minutes ago. Chad on our beat up, hand me down, snow mobile. The man who gave it to Chad was here yesterday with his family to play in the snow. He got stranded down our lane and Chad had to change some spark plugs (I think). Derek made the comment "I'm glad I didn't charge you for this thing!" Keeps life interesting, I guess.

Now we are having a sleet storm complete with thunder and lightning.

Jolene broke out with chicken pox on Monday. Our first experience hasn't been too bad so far. Her spots are mostly on her back and bottom. Her face isn't too bad. Her sore throat was the only complaint we've had. We gave her Ibuprofen a few times which helped (probably too much) she felt too good to be still. She was glad when she could go for a day without it because then I figured she was probably well enough to play in the snow awhile.

Jesse calls them the hen pox because she is a girl and is hoping he won't get the rooster pox!

Sweet Jubilee

We are a little late getting the railing up. Better get to that! We do have a gate to block the stairs!!!

Proud little guy! Yes he did it all on his own. He can pull up now and get anywhere he wants on his hands and knees. He also found his voice which is soo cute to hear him babble. I'll try to get a video for you.

Jolene was grinding wheat for me to make bread.

Jubilee made herself a cozy little spot for coloring.

If Jonas is fussy - just give him a sippy bottle. He loves it!

We spent last weekend with some friends of ours. Their twins are about three weeks younger than Jonas. I've always wanted twins and the parents even said they feel sorry for everyone that doesn't get the pleasure of having twins in their family. Joshua is on the right and Caleb is on the left.

Chopping brocolli for soup! YUMMY!

We had some Jehovah's witnesses stop in for a visit this week. I wasn't able to get them to tell me what they really believe about Salvation. I need to learn how to ask better questions. They seemed to agree with what I had to say but I still felt like I was missing something. I've been praying for them that they might know God in truth.
