tic tac toe.....3 in a row

The baby rabbits are now 12 days old. Only one has it's eyes opened. I loving call that one "Big un" he is almost twice as big as the others. Kaylee doesn't want him to have a complex so she calls it Thumper. The middle one we all call dribbles, cause it looks like God leaked black paint spots down his back. As I was telling Mia that she looked like she was really imagining that. Then she said how did they get in Clara's tummy anyway.......moving on......

The last one Kaylee calls shadow and Trent calls Mustang. So it's an arguement EVERY time.
Any other ideas on names? I like Larry Mo and Curly.....

D-Now

Last week, our church sponsored Disciple Now, or for short D-Now. This was our 3rd year to host a middle school group. We had 11 eight grade bows, 2 high school boys and one college intern. Plus all our "usual suspects" It was a house full. But we all had a great time and the boys were wonderful.
As you can see they made great use of the living room floor.

And ate...and ate...and ate...and ate....

and played some music....................

and played some Pool....

and did I mention they ate?

He's NORMAL

Normal is a relative word....right. But normal is also a Medical word that you hope the doctor will say to you one day. Especially when you have a child with a liver condition. It's been 8 years since we found out about Trent's liver condition. We've had routine blood work since that time. At the first of the year we had more blood work and his specialist called to say that Trent's Liver function numbers are in the NORMAL range. For the first time ever.

So, of course his question was, does this mean I get to stop taking my pills? But alas, he won't, because the medicine is what's regulating his liver functions. Nonetheless, we are very excited and hope this means he's on the road to leveling out......he'll never be "Cured" but this is great news for us!

Got Baby Rabbits?

Cuz We Do!!!

Clara's rabbit had 6 babies on Friday. We've had quite a learning curve on how rabbits care for their young. come to find out there is quite a lot of information. For example a mother rabbit only feeds her baby 1 or 2 times a day. So while I was paranoid that Clara was NOT being a good mother, she was in fact doing exactly what she was suppose to do.

For one reason or another 3 of the babies have not survived. So, we are down to 3 baby rabbits. We're hoping that these 3 will LIVE.

today we started seeing the beginning of fur and their eyes should open in about 7 more days.

it's a pouring party

Well maybe not a party...but the kids thought it was a party because we let them skip the first two hours of school to watch the concrete getting poured. I think we picked the two coldest days of 2011 to have this done. But as you can see from the photos we watched from the indoor heated seats.
After pictures coming soon.

Mr. Walling

In Ty's pre-K class, the teachers called the kids by their last names all week. They were working on learning to write their last name. Since then Ty has quit writing his first name on anything. He has declared himself Walling and that's all. Perhaps he's preparing for a life in sports or maybe the military.

diggin deep

Today was day one of our outdoor construction project. David and the kids pulled up the deck on the backyard a few weeks ago. So now it's time to pour some concrete. Who knew concrete was almost as expensive as gold. Too bad they don't let you sell old broken concrete like gold. We'd be rich!

Happy Anniversary

David and I celebrated our 18th anniversary on Sunday. So we escaped for a few days of R&R. We went to tour a few of the old plantations in south Louisiana. It was very nice and relaxing and since the pressures of Christmas were over I felt very refreshed
