Cabin time and baby time

Lots has happened in life since the last blog. Holidays always makes things go fast. It's hard to believe it is nearly a month ago that it was Thanksgiving and here we are fast approaching Christmas.
A while back we took family pictures...or Bill and Brenda did. We snapped a few as well.




Jaxson was quite the picture pooper...smiling only when he wanted which was next to never!

A free dresser along the road that my husband so nicely but grudgingly helped me "quickly" load into the vehicle. He said it was only fit for one thing...the burn pile.

It now awaits new handles that are an odd size and hard to find. I think I will resort to filling in the holes and making new ones!

I told Jaxson I had something but he was too stubborn to come with me so Kenzie did. He wasn't too happy when I put Thomas on her!

The first weekend of rifle was spent at the cabin with everyone but Reynold and Kris.



What did people do at the cabin before techno times?






many Rook games

Games are so much more fun if he is helping!...or so they seem to think!
I mean look at that style! I think they were supposed to copy him.


And then the there was the sister that was due to have a baby. With a busy time of year ahead we all hoped she would go early or on time. Of course she went late. It was ok with me though since she actually hit a day that I had NO plans other than leave work early! After what seemed like hours in labor..(and I wasn't the one having it) Mariah Jo made her appearance on Dec. 8. It really was amazing being able to witness it. May 2016 can come a little faster now. Not much but a little bit!

He got to the hospital with my parents just minutes after she was born. It was nice to have someone to drive home with after an exciting day!

She's much cuter now and getting ever so big.

It has been really warm. So warm that I decided there is no point waiting till spring to clean up all the leaves that are now off the trees. And who has to mow in the middle of December anyway? It's ok though....I'm looking forward to 60 degree weather on Christmas day.


Until next time....or maybe after our trip to the Caribbean. Peace and JOY!

When I Grow Up

Image
My kids love to sing. Right now for some reason they keep picking the song "When I Grow Up." The chorus goes: "When I grow up I wanna be just like you, so don't disappoint me I can see what you do. If you follow Jesus I will follow him too, so don't disappoint me, I can see what you do." Don't forbid little children to come unto Him For such is the kingdom of God, Always set an example that points out the way And do what the Lord has to say. Don't forget little children become big folks some day For what you see becomes what you do. If you walk with Jesus, I'll walk with Him too. So don't forget, I'm close behind you. I really like the song but when it's time for the chorus it gets me every time. Maybe it is those 12 hands and 60 fingers that are pointing my way. Today I pointed back at them and they had a few words to say as soon as the song finish! "Miss....WE ARE FOLLOWING YOU! You can't foll...

February

..here it is. It's hot, dry, and breezy. The month is almost halfway gone already. sigh. It's hard to believe it's been one whole year already that I've been married to this wonderful man. He truly is so extremely good for me. Marriage is a wonderful thing. It's good to have the first year behind us though. We look forward to many more! February 7 is Independence Day. The churches had a picnic and cooked the national dish. Kyla...or little Cindy as I call her. oil down...it was deliciously made by Sammy. A few wore their Independence colors!  Sailing festival was also held the other weekend on the beach. I was wishing so badly I had remembered my camera but alas phone pictures had to work! Sports Day is coming up for most schools. I went to Wesley College Sports day on Wednesday. It was good to see how secondary schools do it! I went in support of Alana's son Joshim. He didn't disapp...

of police and goodbyes

It was the night before some people departed the states to the wonderful Isle of Spice. Who wouldn't stay out late? Well...I would..and I did. The regrets came in the morning with only 2 hours of sleep and off to work at an unearthly hour. I work when I can...even if it is only a few hours. I felt like I had to keep redoing things...my brain was malfunctioning. Coffee was needed but I didn't want to be the reason for potty breaks on the way to the airport...thus I refrained. I left work in my own little world oblivious to a police officer sitting nearby. I believe he was sleeping as well..much to my benefit. With suitcases packed on that Ford truck we began to "RUN IT"...traffic moves well most days. I try to keep with traffic. They can usually break radar for you. The SUV lost me when it got to about 25 over the speed limit. It was a good thing! There was enough of a gap between us that officer had his nose out in traffic as I tried to quickly change lanes. Sorry fo...
