Wild Turkeys

We have so much fun looking out the window every morning to see the wildlife. On the morning of November 22nd, there were about 30 turkeys in the front yard.

New Building Dedication

Marble Falls is constructing a new church beside the current one. We had a big dedication after church on Sunday, November 9th. Granny was in town for church, catered lunch, and all the events.

All the kids lined up to "break ground" with their shovels. Grant is just right of center.

Zane playing after the pictures.

Daddy won a shovel! Dan Burdett (the builder for the church and our new home) told him he was going to need this. That is so true since he is always busting one here on the land. :)

Grant's School Carnival

Grant had so much fun at his school carnival on Saturday, November 8th. Granny came in town, he played games, won lots of prizes and even got to do some spin art.

Asa's School Halloween

Asa wouldn't wear his banana costume to school so he went as a farmer. He was very shy and sad that morning.

After the chapel service and pictures the kids loaded up on the trailers for a hay ride down to the park.

Round the corner at the square. He was wearing a smile by then!

Trunk or Treat

The boys had great time at church Wednesday night. Us grown-ups gringed at the children at worship that night in their costumes, but got over it when we saw their excitement. After service, we all positioned the cars in a circle so the kids could run freely in the parking lot. I was amazed at how much some of the adults really got into this. Come to find out since so many members live out in rural areas, this is the only trick-or-treating some kids do.

This truck had hidden candy in the bed of their truck full of hay.

Hello From the Stranger

Yes, I know it's been a long time, but honestly I've been considering how I can start my business blog and keep the public from my personal business (mainly our kids). But I finally figured out how to block my profile from linking all my blogs. I know that some of you may not understand, but please know that I'm now comfortable in returning to the blogging world and sharing my family with all of you.

Hold on tight because I will soon be adding lots of pictures to catch everyone up on our lives over the last few months. But first I have to work outside a little.

p.s. We're home from church because the boys are getting over the flu. Asa was still running fever yesterday.
p.p.s. By the time I can actually type with my pinkie finger, I will have forgotten how to do so. :)

Eeyore Is On My Couch

As I sit playing Spider Solitaire, I'm listening to my love reading Winnie the Pooh to Grant. It's so cute to see them sitting there together. Grant listening so closely to his daddy and Boomer reading in his best Eeyore voice. It makes me smile.

Grant has been on breathing treatments for a couple of weeks now, but had to start Prednisone Friday night after trick-or-treating fun. Poor thing. He said he didn't have any fun today at school because he couldn't participate in P.E. or recess. I had to write a note saying no physical activity until further notice because it just stirs up his coughing. It was so hard this weekend. Listening to him cough and cough and cough each night before he settled down and the medicine kicked in. We were up at 2am Saturday night/Sunday morning giving him back-to-back nebs. I kept telling him not to talk ... to save his air and it took me back to the hospital with Bill. It made me sad to think about Bill on his oxygen and a couple of the same meds as Grant. I always worry when Grant gets like this, but it was even harder after watching Bill.

Lord, please heal his lungs.
