It's been a couple weeks since our last update but things keep moving along in our yearly cycle of things. We have harvested some corn and are waiting for more to dry enough to bin. It's been extremely dry the last month. .56" moisture in September. Most of the wheat is drilled and up and awaiting the blessing of a soaking rain. the feedlot pen renovation is mostly complete for this time and we have the feedlot about 40% full. Dust has been a real problem the last couple of weeks. Ann has been busy subbing and volunteering and helping me.
We just returned home from a weekend in Hutch and got to watch Aubrey march in the Buhler Frolic Days parade,Luke play a rec league football game in Buhler, enjoy worshipping Sunday morning with the Bernings and absorbing a message about integrity and then Jackson played a flag football game in the afternoon and then we headed home..so it was a worthwhile trip.
To share a concern-with the free fall of the stock market the commodity markets have fallowed suit so we are looking at much lower prices for our outputs while our inputs (fertilizer, seed,chemicals,fuel,repairs,etc.) have reached new highs this falls-we would ask for your prayers for this situation be corrected. We know that without a doubt God has a plan for each of us and he has blessed us mightly with a great and caring family and a fantastic life.

It sound like you guys had a busy but fun weekend. My dad and Galena plan to come next weekend for Cade's 3rd birthday. We usually wear him our with all our various activities but the kids love seeing their Papa.
We'll pray for you as your expenses climb. We're pretty nervous about possibly selling our house in the current market also.

Glad you made it back safely; hopefully you enjoyed some of this rain we're getting here today. We loved having you come visit, I hope you were'nt as tired as Jackson. He was absolutely exhausted this morning, poor guy.
