Easter 2021

Wow, it's been forever since I posted to this blog.  Actually, I lost the email login, but for some reason I was able to get into it today.  I have no idea if anyone is still out there.  So much has happened since I posted to this blog on a regular basis.  Life got busy.  Life got difficult.  But today was Easter.  Easter represents a New Beginning.  Will it be a new beginning for this blog?  I don't know.  But I do know good things are in our future.  

 

It's been quite a while since we've posted.  Thought I would give anyone reading this blog an update.  We moved back to the country.  Below is a picture of the barn yesterday taken from Cassidy's room.  Our plans are to develop the property here and hopefully raise some animals.  We already have two rabbits and just got 8 chicks.  Our big plan is to raise goats. You can also see a picture of the little pond and the barn in the background. 

What else has been going on?  Well, we are expecting another one.  Looks like another little girl is on the way and should be here around June 3rd. 

Cassidy at bat!

We have been working hard at keeping our eye on the ball!

Update on the House

It's been a while since I've posted.  As you will see we have been really, really busy.  Our little house is coming along. 

 It looks almost finished from the outside, but it still has a long way to go.  I'm currently wiring the inside and putting up insulation.  I'm about to make the decision to do the heating and air myself.  I've never done that kind of work, but it seems like I should be able to save a lot of money if I can figure it out.  I really appreciate the help my dad and father-in-law have given me!  I will try to post some inside pictures next time.

Starting to Build Again!

We are beginning another great adventure in our life. After living in town for roughly five and a half years, I think we are ready to try the country life again. So what is the plan? How about we live in a small cabin for a while and see where that life takes us!

My Birthday, and 50 Years Ago Today

I'm proud to celebrate my birthday on the 50th Anniversary of John Glenn's historic flight into space. Few people today can be called real American heroes, but John Glenn certainly fits that title. WWII and Korean Veteran, first American to orbit the Earth, U.S. Senator, married for 69 years, and oldest person ever to go to space (he was 77 when he visited the space station in 1998).



Today has been a really good day. Because it was President's Day, I had the day off and was able to spend some time outside and some time with my family. Those are two of my favorite things in life to to do.

I plan to teach my girls about people like John Glen, and other American Heroes. We still need people to look up to today. Of all his accomplishments, his lasting marriage is to me one of his greatest. I wasn't there 50 years ago, so I'll say it now, "God Speed John Glenn!"

New Blog Site

We have a friend and former neighbor who has started a blog. I put a link on here, but I thought it deserved a post of it's own. The blog is called "Craftin' With Suz," and you can find it

HERE

She plans to post neat craft ideas. Sounds pretty cool! :)

Ending 2011, Starting 2012

Well, the Christmas break is coming to an end. All in all, I think it was a good break. Not only did we have a great Christmas, but we spent some time with our friends from Texas Carry and Stephanie. I didn't get a picture of it, but we also took the girls out to Amy's parent's pond and Cassidy caught a big bass on Saturday. Then, we went to a wonderful New Year's Eve party on Saturday night. Amy snapped this picture of the girls earlier today! Good start to 2012!

First Snow

A few days ago we had our first snow. It wasn't much, and it didn't last long, but the kids got to play in it a little (and Amy, those are her bare feet in the snow, lol). I think we had a lot more snow last year---we built a snowman on Christmas last year. Maybe after the first of the year we will get a big snow. That would be nice, but to be honest, I think I'm ready for Spring to get here. Sometimes Amy and I dream of living close to the beach!

Christmas 2011

Here are some pictures from Christmas this year. This year just went by incredibly fast. I always say I'm going to post more on this blog but it seems like there is just no time.
