Road Trip to Pier Lake

Greetings All,
We've been neglectful in posting so we'll try to include all recent updates in the northwoods.
Included is a very recent photo of the newest member of our clan! His name is Foster and he's wonderful! Sadie is quite fond of him (which we discovered yesterday on a quick road trip over to Pier Lake...Sadie was very protective of her little one around Ole!) and Mocha and Jet are warming up to him too!
He's an Australian Shepherd mix and is 3 1/2 months old.
We took a little road trip to see Clare and Scott yesterday after the Packer win and had a great time. I wish I would have gotten a photo of the 3 kids playing in the yard...it was a gas! Thanks for the good time, Clare and Scott. We really need to to that more often!
The trees are starting to turn up here and fall is really in the air.
Hope everyone is doing well and hope to see you very soon!
Love,
Ann and Jerry

Dog

Another note, Ann and Jerry, Kathy thinks "Foster" would be a "cute" name, due to the fact that no name was mentioned in the E-mail.

The Specht's are on

After email changes and technology incapablities, we are now able to work with the blog. Due to the aforementioned technoloty incapabilities I, (Ryan) will be doing the majority of the writing, so should the posts come up in first person point of view, the "I" would be Ryan, unless otherwise stated. No other news to report.

gisMom is on finally!!!

Good thing I don't have a picture of me to post right now!!! It has taken me (quite)awhile to get this organized----with getting the name and password to match!!!!!!!!! but I perserved and finally got it!
Beautiful pie Judy. The pictures from Pier Lake are grand too!!

Judy's Perfect Pie

Judy made the most perfect strawberry rhubarb pie ever, it was so good looking we didn't want to cut it so Judy turned her back and Greg ate it all in one sitting!

Thanks to Kathy for the pie plate and pie bird; it said "Perfect pie everytime!"

I am now going to try to post some pictures from our cottage on Pier Lake.

Hi All

Andersons here. I managed to get us signed in again. We will try to post early and often. Go Vikings!

Baby update

Baby Monty is doing well andI thought you all might enjoy a bambino update every once in a while...so here is update 1.

We are 2 months developed (yesterday) and the urge to purge can go away anytime now. It is really not so cool. But otherwise we are doing fine. Just a little tired.

I moved into new office space and it is really cool to be able to go home at night and not have to worry about work. Just family-time which I have never had before, so everyone is happy.

I nap a lot and sleep more but that is what Monty wants. Check out the Babystrology...pretty cool!

We will keep you posted as things progress.

Hope all is well!

Thank You Greg and Judy!!

Thanks to you for hosting Christmas. It was a great day. Not sure if we had enough food, though?!?!?!
Happy New Year to all!!

Love, Eugene, Michele and Lombardi, too!

Sure was a nice Thanksgiving!!

Thank you Scott and Clare for hosting the meal for the day. All of the food sure was great!
It was so good seeing you Joel! Your pictures of South Korea were great!! What a wonderful experience for you!

Winter Wonderland

It just seemed like 2 days ago when it was in the 70's...

Deer ran into us!

While traveling up north on 10/27 a deer bolted out of the ditch and with Scott's expert driving he ran into the trailer, instead of the van! As you can see he, broke the whole side of the trailer, and he got up and ran away!!

The Gisvold Family Photo

Here is my best family photo off my camera. We missed you Joel, Anne and Paula!!

The Handsome Gisvold Brothers!!!

What a nice picture of the guys!! So well behaved, too!! HA!HA!

Sure was a "SWEET" party!!
