Rachel's New Bed -- WooHoo

Happy Birthday to you, HappyBirthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Ma-Ma, Happy Birthday to you, and from Stee-ee-ven too.


Happy Birthday Mama, hope you had a great day!

We got Rachel's bed all set up today, and it really looks nice. Thank you so much. She was very excited about it -- she was so happy that as soon as we got it set up, she went over to a friend's house to spend the night! We told her that we were going to sleep in her new bed and she had a fit -- "don't you sleep in my bed!!!" It really does look good, though. Love you all -- talk to you soon.

O Kitty Tree

Coulda seen this coming. As soon as Stephen put up the tree, Little was climbing it. We have decided to go with an undecorated tree this year for reasons that you can imagine. Hope this will get you into the Christmas spirit -- it did us.

Happy Thanksgiving from LA

Happy Thanksgiving, Seth! Sorry you missed the morning's festivities (Scott & Stephen). We are thinking of you today and will upload more posts over the next few days. Love from everyone.

Here are a few pics from the hunt.

Stephen's Deer November 2007

November 10, 2007

I didn't know how big this one was until I shot it. Small 8 point, but it has big mass (rack). Probably 3 years old, I videotaped this deer last season at the farm. --- Stephen

How to Cut Up a Chicken

The finer points of poultry cuttlerage (is that even a word?). Enjoy

and of course, part 2 ...

Grass in the Yard

The grass is growing! The rain didn't wash it all away, as you can see. In about 5 years, we will have a lush back yard.

Cat in a Pot

This is little kitty -- he jumps into this pot to hide and "get" people.

New furniture!!!

Woo Hoo, Rachel got her bedroom set!!! We found it at the Fair, in one of the commercial displays. Here are some photos -- oak queen-size sleigh bed with bedside table and large dresser with mirror at a steal!!! She really likes it, and it should arrive in about two weeks. All we need now is a mattress set.

Georgia National Fair

On Saturday, we went to the Fair -- Stephen and me, Rachel and Eugene (Ross). Stephen and I went to EAT and to work at the Baby Comfort Station.

This is a booth sponsored by the GA Baptist Association and manned by churches -- it offers a private, clean place to change and feed babies while at the fair. Lots of parents LOVE it!!! When people come to the Baby Comfort Station, we greet them and give out gospel tracts. We also have little goodie bags for kids and bouncy balls, which gets people's attention.

Later in the evening, there were fireworks -- everyone stood around watching. It was LOUD, but really good.

Rachel - Flag Line 2007

Well, Dodge County football is going strong this year at 5 wins, 1 loss, but the Flag Line is super cool, too. Rachel is having fun performing at half time (except on windy days!). This is her Flag photo ... isn't she pretty? Go Rachel Go!
