Finally Back!

I am a severely non-skilled techie so my husband has saved me from the computer problems that were keeping me from blogging. 

So....the last three months...

Well, it snowed! A lot! Which isn't a big deal in some parts of the world, but is exciting here. 

Nathan and I worked on keeping Big Mac's fur tangle free (we are failing!) and gave him lots of snuggles. He is a very sweet bunny and isn't this picture CUTE!?

We, meaning John, are continuing the work on our home addition. Looking good! 

This sweet, tiny cat showed up. We didn't feed her at first, in hopes she was just visiting from a neighbor's barn, but when she appeared to be starving, we gave in. She has been named "Brook" and is as pretty as she is friendly. We're taking her to the vet next week and are seeking a loving indoor home for her. PLEASE contact me if you're interested. 

Sam impressed us with his artistry and understanding of symmetry when we discovered him with this get-up via crayola markers. Ha! 

Technical Difficulties

Yup...having them...hoping to be able to blog again soon!

Christmas 2013

 

Christmas Eve walk at the park

 

 

Little boy "walks" big dog

 

 

It's hard to describe how special it is to have the first b day and first Christmas with a new child.

 

 

Happy Mark

Beautiful brothers

 

 

 

 



Luke's 10th B Day

 

Our beautiful sweet boy turned 10!

We had friends over for a camp fire with hot dogs and also decorated gingerbread houses.

 

 

 

I had to laugh when I noticed that Nathan was putting candy inside his house instead of on it. Guess he was squirreling it up for later. Busted!

 



Home Addition: Rafters

We're excited at the progress!

 

 

 

 

 

The cutest helpers...see Luke peeking out?

 

 

 

 

 



This Fall

 

This Fall has been going by so quickly! Here's an update on what

we've been up to...

 

 

Some friends and I are putting on a craft sale the first weekend in Dec. They have created awesome pallet art & I am featuring my felties hand sewn toys & tree ornaments as well as these super cute polymer clay pendants made by a talented friend of mine. (You know who you are MH!)

 

 

We are also building a new home addition...very exciting.

 

 

John is using his mad skills to build us some great new space!

We're adding a new living room as well as a big upstairs area. Cannot wait!

 

We're also taking time out to snuggle...it's essential, you know.

And...the biggest & best news....

we finalized Sam's adoption!

He's our sweet boy forever!

Thank You God!



All Dressed Up & Someplace To Go ...and oh, Our Addition Construction

We took the boys to a Truck-or-Treat that a local church put on. At first Sam didn't understand but he was quick to learn that nice people were putting CANDY in his bag, and before we knew it, he was saying, "Treat! Treat!" in his sweet little voice.

 

 

I love how Sam is laughing at Luke in this one.

 

 

Bumblebee's true identity is finally revealed!

 

 

Here's a sneak peek at our addition construction. We're excited about the new space!
