And the Lighting Begins

Just a few lights shy of the top.

TIMMMBBERRRR!!!!!

We went and got our first real Christmas tree. The smile on Kristi's face made my Christmas. That is the first tree I've cut down since Adam Kirk and I cut the top out of a loblolly for the education building at RPC. That was nearly 30 years ago.

Nothing Like an Icee on the Front Porch

The Icee truck came by and we were outside. P and C were so excited to get an Icee in their front yard.

Happy St. Pat's

Searching For A Movie

Thank You, Aunt Jeannie

... and Mommy wants one, too. (A Mommy sized one.)

Kristi's Laundry Fixins

Kristi found a dry laundry detergent recipe and we're going to try it out. It takes a good bit of soap grating, but it is most definitely less messy in the making and pouring up.

We Got Snowman Snow

We had fun and we already had our milk at the house.

AHHH!! Cappuccino

Weeds, I Say

Claire is 29.2 pounds and 40.25 inches. Pearce is 45.3 pounds and 45.5 inches. They grow way too fast.

Winter Combat Training

P and C enjoying some outside time before everything freezes over. They sure know how to enjoy life.

Couple Days Under the Belt

The new year has begun. Just a couple days down. Everybody but Pearce has been back to work/school. Today we had a new member added to the family. Her name is Piper and she's a Russian Blue and very laid back. More later

It's a New Year

We've made it through another year. Can't wait to see what this one brings. It will definitely be an adventure.

'Twas the Night (day) Before Christmas

The Christmas door is ready for the evening. Tree picture tonight when the sun goes down.

Turkey Day

What a day! I got to tell Kristi Happy Birthday. We all enjoyed the smells of thanksgiving cooking. Green tomato gratin involves cooking bacon and sautéeing onions (not to mention melting cheddar) are some super awesome olfactory pleasures. Then there was the sweet potatoes, brown sugar, and pecans baking. Oh, wow.

Of course the obligatory road trip. Over the river twice (and the other river, and a lake) and through two or three woods to Aunt Becky's. Got to see all the Atlanta locals; Suzy, Becky, Randy, Pat, Sam, Mom, and Dad plus the Yankee (Kennedy). We enjoyed all the food and everyone set aside most of their dietary restrictions (ala sugar) to enjoy the fine food on hand. Randy's cranberry sauce was MOST awesome.
