New babies

I'm holding Asher and Cindy has Rhiza in this photo. Now ask me how many times I called the grand-kids the wrong name! Talk about going through the alphabet!

A quiet day today - catch-up on paperwork, run down to Sparta to photo as house and just general stuff to do for weekend.

Have a great Friday!

Reading with cousins

Uncle Reed reading a book to some of the kids at Thanksgiving - they sure love to be read to!

Another bid due today at work and maybe a trip down to Sparta - I've actually got a free night at home tonight - woohoo!!

Wednesday already? What happened!

Good morning! Got home around 9 pm last night - I sure could have slept in a bit. Oh well, paperwork calls me to bigger and better things.

Anna and Lincoln are showing me a sheep from their toy nativity set in this photo. I think I got handed every animal and every person to 'enjoy'.

Have a wonderful day.

Watching snow fall ...

Good morning - still trying to get back in a routine when I'm not having my normal schedule! Paperwork this morning and off to Somerset, KY this afternoon - back late around 9 pm or so.

The girls were watching snow flurries one morning - they told me not enough for snow angels yet. It was in the 30's most of the time we were there - the high that is.

Gotta go - love you all!

We're back ...

Good morning - we had great times with the kids, but it was sure nice to sleep in our own beds again. Much colder up there with flurries one day and heavy coat weather every day - I'm just not ready for that yet.

No news - back to work - catching up on all of the emails I got when I was off - I actually have an 8:30am staff meeting to start off the week,  a bid due this morning and then off to Columbia, TN to meet with a client this afternoon - a 2 hour drive each way.

Have a great week - I'm still thankful! You can be that even when it is not Thanksgiving.

Relaxing Saturday

Good morning- Cindy already spoiling Asher! Have a great day.

Pumpkin pie

A great breakfast!

Happy Thanksgiving

To all of our family and friends- a very happy and relaxing Thanksgiving. As Kaireia told me this morning, she is most thankful for family and Jesus' death on the cross. Me too!

Gone to Ohio

The Kleeman kids finally got to meet Asher. Cousins are fun!

I head out Tuesday afternoon to Ohio - back Sunday - have a wonderful Thanksgiving - I love you all!

He's here - first photos

Asher was born last night at 9:07 pm - 8 lb 4 oz, 19.5 inches, dark hair and grey-blue eyes - so far.

He's pretty handsome don't you think!

I get to see him this week - woohoo!

Someone is already spoiling him!!

Some pretty girls

Good morning - enjoyed watching Tech beat Rice in girl's basketball last night. A close game though.

Church in a few minutes but nothing big going on today. I leave after work Tuesday to head north to enjoy the gang for a few days.

I see a couple of girls that needs a grandpa to love on them. Thank you God for children and grand-children!

Sunny Saturday in Cookeville

Good morning - just remembered I hadn't put a photo up yet so here goes!

A nice sunny day here - need to work on some photos, a few to-dos today and Tech basketball tonight.

Getting ready to spoil some babies! I can hardly wait.

Have a blessed day.

No drive Friday

Yesterday I went to Crossville - today's 'no drive' Friday - I'm staying in & catching up paperwork - woohoo! (Remember to click on any picture to see larger - easier & better for printing too if desired.) Did you like the panoramic of the basketball game from last night - a new phone camera feature - enjoy!

Enjoying Tech basketball

I love basketball!

Music Man

Good morning - we're actually in the 30's this morning - a warm spell!

I had a great time at the church's annual Thanksgiving banquet. Sorry Cindy had to miss it - lots of good food and great fun.

Another future musician here - maybe he'll take after his Aunt Rachel.

Have a blessed day - only 4 years to go ...

Quiet on the home front

Rhiza and Noema

It sure is quiet here. No wife, kids or grand-kids (echo, echo) - thank goodness for electric blankets.

Our church has their Thanksgiving banquet tonight - should be lots of fun - I've got Cindy's corn recipe to make - the recipe!

You all have a great - and warm - day!

Future drummer

You gotta start somewhere. No telling where this could lead.

A chilly day here - ready for Spring - ha!

No news - a busy day ahead and Tech basketball tonight - a great time of year for basketball fans.

Deja Vu all over again

A scene similar to this is about to happen - Asher will be here in the next few days and his family will love all over him.

Cindy got to Columbus safe yesterday and I got back from Mt. Juliet around 5 or so - a long day for all.

Rain out today - it's been coming down hard for several hours here - tree leaves are getting knocked to the ground - trees are taking on that winter look.

Hopefully an in-house paperwork day - you all be safe!

Ohio bound

Good morning! Cindy heads off to Ohio to see the grand-kids after church and I head out to Mt. Juliet to meet with a church prospect - why do church clients always like Sunday meetings?

As usual, I'm one of the last to spoil the babies - still fun though! Pray Cindy's trip and visit goes well - Asher is ready to come see his grand-parents! I go up Thanksgiving.

Have a great time at church and a great week - I love you all!

Super Sunny Saturday

Good morning - a beautiful day outside - sunshine, warm breeze and just downright nice.

We've had breakfast out, ran a few errands and now home again - jiggity, jig.

Cindy takes off tomorrow to Ohio and trusts me alone again - I guess not much choice! You all have a great Saturday.
