Thanksgiving '09

We spent Thanksgiving in Oklahoma at Tom's sister's house.
We had a fun time visiting with everyone.
It's always fun to see everyone and catch up on life!

Pensacola '09

We took a work trip with Tom to Pensacola.
We were hoping to get some beach time in, but it was actually colder there than back at home.
We had a great time anyway!
Thought we'd share some pics!

We love you bunches and bunches and lots!

Farmer Clay & Dog Whisperer Chandler

Clay got to drive the tractor while we were at the cabin this time! Doesn't he look so sweet?
Chandler discovered that he could make the neighbor's dog do tricks. She would sit, lay & speak. Here she's speaking for some Apple Jacks!

Fireside Chats

We put a fire pit on our deck at the cabin, and we used it every night we were there. It was great to sit around, look at the millions of stars, listen for the animals, & have great conversation. It was a time to share with the boys. We talked of life, and it's successes and disappointments. The expectations of life and of people. How sometimes life is good and sometimes bad. How sometimes people let us down or don't follow through. But in all those times in life we can count on the One we should put all of our trust and expectations. Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. People and life will fluctuate and may or may not always turn out as we wish, but the God of the Universe is always mindful of us and is always there for us! On Him we can depend!

Horses at the Cabin

We arrived to the cabin on Tuesday night to find a white horse grazing in our field. He took off running across the property because he was spooked but when he returned, he brought a friend. They continued to return & graze on the freshly mowed grass and the corn we put out for the deer. Clay said is "Jesus on it with the sword in His mouth ready to slay the wicked so the birds can come eat their flesh?" He's such a hoot. Funny he can remember all of those action scenes! At least he listens when we read it. We did find out that the horses do belong to people, although they don't seem to care that they wonder about the area. I suppose not, they're eating someone elses' grass & corn & pooping in someone elses' yard and drinking someone elses' water...oh well...when we get our fence up, they'll either be gone our ours. LOL!
