September until now

September was a good month. 
Kathy's abundance of grapes had me canning far more than we will ever need. Who cares?

He still hadn't been working so he could reach them like a pro.


Some might say hard up? It was successful.

We made a good two hour trip to Mifflintown? A friend I used to hang out WAYYYYYY back in the day and I hadn't seen for over 6 years invited us for supper.

We took their rangers off roading...and on roading to a local icecream shop.


My husband celebrated a birthday. It seems to be the only time I can get a picture out of him!

My life continues by packing eggs Monday- Friday and working at the hatchery.
Thursday mornings you will find me washing down these hatching trays.
It's getting too cold for me. My fingers turn to ice!

starting early warrants beautiful sunrises almost every time!

We spent a Sunday evening geocaching with the family mainly in the project. Quite a few hikes took us back in the bush pretty far.

If you go looking for the "horse and rider"....you will really have to look for it!



The middle of the month my husband got his work permit. It was and is to have someone else doing the majority of income. September 30 found us in Philadelphia for his green card interview. As much as people act like it can be quite the ordeal we spent about ten minutes in the interview. I credit that to answered prayers and an attorney who was very organized! The green card arrived a week later!
Now we can make our winter travel plans!
Since he had the day off he went and got his permit as well. Most times I am thankful to take the passenger's seat. *spouses weren't made to teach driving skills*

 I was a freshman when she made me an aunt for the first time! Where has time gone?

Family visited us since we had done a lot of traveling that week.

The guys took Jaxson and went fishing. When they got home Kenzie was up from her nap and Brenda went to do our shopping. We returned to quite the babysitters. Kenzie didn't let them sleep much by finding all the toys that make noise!

This kid is obsessed with Thomas. 


They had to experience Fox Meadows with us!

He thinks he can get her to stop moving!


 Canned deer meat!

We babysit Daryl Weaver's kids so they could celebrate their parents anniversary.
I'll admit my husband is a better entertainer than I am.


The next weekend it was the youngest four of my brother's kids. They spent an afternoon and evening out with friends. This little nephew was quite the trooper living off of a bottle...and lots of sleep of course!
The heat in our house wasn't working. Poor Jude had to stay bundled up!

 I told you he does so well.

This past Monday mom and I spent the day at my sister painting her new house.


This weekend they are moving. My niece makes her little arrival before long so the move needs to happen!

So with all the excitement of work permit, driver's permit, and green card I would have to say the most exciting of all was .....



We couldn't be more excited and we covet your prayers that all would go well for us!

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
