The Tree!

Well, it’s something like a tree, anyway!! It’s our first “Charlie Brown” tree, and we love it. The task of celebrating our very favorite holiday in a place that doesn’t even acknowledge it seemed at first an impossible task. It began in mid-November, when I was shopping at a...

Kyndal’s First Tooth Pull

We finally did it! We yanked Kyndal’s first tooth from her head tonight. We have been wiggling it for over a month now and the new tooth was pushing it out. With Lovie in hand, a few tears and dental floss, I helped her work it loose enough for...

SKYPE…Really Cool

We are planning a live video broadcast with our friends in Tulsa this coming weekend. Fortunately skype just launched skype video for mac and it works great. We are looking forward to visiting with many of our friends all at one time. The hardest part of skype is that...

Tourist Group

What a blessing. We just had a wonderful group of tourist from San Angelo, Texas. Not only was it nice to see familiar faces and long time friends, but they brought all kinds of care packages with them. On the day they arrived, we left for an adventure tour...
