Cindy put her Hummingbird feeder out last week and know we have them coming in like crazy. As least three we know spend their entire day coming to the feeder and one likes to sit on the patio rail - we call him the King.
Good morning - here is a pretty face to get your day going! Taken back in March.
Neidon has always loved helping his sister.
I went through some old photos and found this one of Kardia for you to enjoy.
Yesterday's photo was Katie working with Kaireia on learning to read - a great trait to excel in life.
A couple of buds here reading a book. It looks like fun!
Here are three of my blessings - thank you God!
I love these on my grandkids, but I have to be honest, they are ugly on adults. Sorry for admitting this to all of my friends. Fishnet shirts are comfortable too, but I won't wear those either.
The weekend is almost over, so you've got to get that playing done before work begins! One last chalk picture.
Neidon the magnificent will now walk and balance a cup on his head at the same time. Of course, the hat never comes off! And he is wearing his favorite t-short from a VBS at Castle Hills Christian Church that he never attended either. Clothes make the man, as they say.
Well, a month ago we were pulling into our driveway and wondering what in the world we had done!
Well, we drove into Tennessee on June 9th - it's July 9th and it seems like we've been here much longer. These past few months have been a real whirl-wind. (Continue to pray we sell our house in S.A.) Greetings to our S.A. friends!!
I hear the carpenters on the house across the street - they were going around 6:30 this morning - lazy bums!
Nothing better than grandkids fighting over your lap. You also get to read stuff you normally wouldn't get to read.
Have a great time at church today. We're still checking things out. We're praying that God leads us to where he wants us.
Good morning! We saw some fireworks from our front porch last night, but it was raining a little so we didn't want to climb the hill near us for a better view - next year!
Hidden hollow had this 'realistic' bus in their park. The kids enjoyed it no matter how realistic is was or wasn't - the tires don't look up to code!
Kaireia likes to hide - and she likes it better when you are trying to find her - and the best part of all is when she is actually found.
In reality, what appears to be a marriage counseling session, is actually Kaireia standing several feet behind Neidon and laughing at Cindy who is not in the photo. For us married guys, it is a little spooky though!
Hey - look over here at the camera - woohoo!
Neidon likes to grip the sides of a slide and go down slow and gently if the slide is very long. It pays to be cautious.
We miss our babies - it is so quiet around here. Cindy and I have to talk to each other!
Find some feathers, play on a rock, just have some fun!
Other than the unpainted wood, rotted columns, cinder block porch supports, non-working water wheel, unkempt lawn and gravel miniature golf pit - the place had an ambiance all its own.
This place was a dump, to put it nicely. The kids had a good time, but it was built 50 years ago and not maintained. Yuck!
It was too quiet when I got home last night and too quiet this morning! No kids running around and laughing and playing.
Rachel and the kids went home today - over an 8 hour drive. We had a great time.
Kaireia and Neidon found a reading buddy. Katie and Matt came by and the kids had a good time with them. (And we did too)
Kaireia, Neidon and Kardia can't believe all of the family they have! They have new folks to read and play with them.
Kardia has met a lot of new family members and seems to enjoy them, after she gets over the shyness.
I'm exhausted and ready for a weekend. A new job and company all week - a fun time but ...... sorry, I dozed off for a second there.
Laura and Sandy came over Yesterday evening and we had a great visit.
Our daughter made an 8 hour trip from Columbus yesterday with three kids in the back of her mini-van to see us. Now that's courage!
I had my first day at my new company today - I survived! Let's see how the first week plays out.
You thought yesterday's post had some good looking guys - now check out the other side of the table!
It's Sunday - time to put on your best and git to church.
We're 'home' in Cookeville - wow, that still sounds strange.
A scary bus ride! Hang on for your life.
I feel like I'm facing a 1 ton gorilla trying to box up this office. I think I've already used 30 some book boxes and another 3 or 4 larger boxes and it will still take another 4 to 6 to complete, not counting furniture. Cindy just thought she retired last week - her new life is as a packer!
Besides kissing that sweet back and soft shoulders, I'd like to check out that little curl at the back of her head!
Kids are pretty open with their emotions - whether they are happy or they are sad.
