It's That Kind of Day


The Adam Jerdees are having a slow stroll
through the inside of the Minnesota Zoo today.
Staying warm, taking it easy...
Like this guy lying on a comfy branch.

We Have A Winner!

Blake stepped up to the podium again,
 this time in 4th place over last year's 8th place.
 
Blake stepped up to fourth place in 3A schools.

Mom and Dad with their winner!

Grand March of 1A, 2A, and 3A winners. A sea of fans made it impossible to single out Blake.

Family fans from West Des Moines, Ollie, Runnells, and Waterloo

Back to Wells Fargo Arena!

Blake qualified for Iowa's State Wrestling Finals again and
we're all going to the arena to watch him score another award.
He earned one in 2018, pictured here.
 
 
I have my fan shirt ready for the Finals on Saturday night!

Snow Day

We've been waiting until now for snowfall that amounts to something measureable.
The perfect day to put on a new pair of boots and crunch around in what seems to be about 2.5 inches. Although our sidewalks are shoveled for us,
I felt the urge to push the soft, white blanket myself.
 
 
I won't push the snow from the deck floors...it's too pretty this way.

Blake scored a #1 ranking in wrestling



Ames was the Saturday site for the latest wrestling tournament.
 Blake wrestled at his 170 lb. weight and won first place. 
 6.6 minutes.
 Yep, pinning all four opponents.
And, his Valley Tigers team won first place.

Underwoods Are At The Alamodome


The Alamo Bowl game just started.
The Underwoods slipped into their seats at the dome in time for the 7 p.m. start.
It would be great if the Cyclones could get a win.
Meanwhile, they send a couple pics.

Part 3: And so it was...

Landon and I finished our crèche scene of foam-core characters.
 
And so it was,
 while Mary and Joseph were in Bethlehem,
the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
 
"And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,
and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."
Luke 2:7
 
Tonight, we greet each other at our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at church:
"Christ it born!
Christ is born indeed!"
 
We wish you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year!
