Update on Job Site

Hello everyone! I know it has been several days since I made a post. First off, my blog was down for a few days. Thanks to David, I am now back up and running. Second, we have been pretty busy here. I thought I would share a few pictures of how the progress is coming on Hubby’s job.

We tore up the flooring in the livingroom. It was in pretty bad shape.

The floor joists were sitting down on the ground. Of course, there is only one way to fix that.

This was our progress as of Monday evening. Tuesday the girls and I had to go to C-burg so I didn’t get to help (too bad, right!) Hubby did finish moving the dirt out of this section. Next we will tear up the other side of the floor and do the same thing again. It is hard work but exciting. The house is really starting to take shape. Today, I helped him hang sheetrock on another job. Thank the Good Lord, work seems to be picking up some for us. We are SO thankful!

The girls working on school work. Homeschool is so much fun. We can take it with us wherever we go.

I thought I would show you all what damage termites can do.

We will be replacing these pieces of wood with blocks. Tuesday when we went to C-burg we stopped by the Horn’s for a visit. They had a great surprise.

Baby Ducks!!! Their mama duck had just hatched 16 baby ducks. It was very exciting. We had a nice visit and Vicki helped me (actually she did all the work) list some school books on Ebay to sell. Thanks again, Vicki.

Today has been wet and chilly here in Floyd. When we came home from hanging the sheetrock, I built a fire to take the chill out of the house. Wet weather seems to make the house feel colder. Well, I think that about catching up all we have been doing. I hope you all have a good evening and God bless.

Thursday

Hello everyone. It has been a busy week here in Floyd. David is gone to a conference in Vegas so Monday evening we went down to help Jess with the kids for a few days. We also had some electrical work Hubby and I needed to do for her. We finished most of it up on Tuesday. Wednesday morning, Hubby put a dimmer switch on her lights in the living room. We then left to come home.

David is having a great time in Vegas. He gave a speech the other night at the conference. He said he spoke to about 22,ooo people. Amazing. We are all very proud of him.

Today was school as usual. We had planned on going over to the Horn’s this evening but Vicki is sick. Please pray for her. She thinks she has a stomach virus. It has been very rough on her. I called today at lunch and Quentin said she wasn’t any better yet. She is never sick. Hubby has been working on cutting out the material for our chairs. I so appreciate all your advice on what color to paint them. I still haven’t completely decided yet but I have a while before he will be at that stage. I am thinking of going with the dark brown and putting chair cushions in them. That way I can change them whenever I want and today I happened to think “Wow, I could make a tablecloth for the table to match the cushions” Maybe I’ll go that route.

I hope you all have a great evening and God bless.

A Christmas Tin

Hello everyone! I thought I would show you one of my newest Christmas tins. I love these things. I think they look so cheerful and happy. I got this one at the Salvation Army store a little while back. I only paid .50 cents for it. Yesterday, after school, I decided it was time to start filling up some of these tins. I made pinwheel candy to put inside it. This is one of our favorite Christmas candies.

Several people on our gift list will be getting homemade candy this year. Chuck (oldest son) has already called and gave me his wish list for what he wants in his “goody basket”. I made some peanut butter and chocolate fudge over the weekend for Dave and Jess. I will post that recipe soon.

We will be doing school today as usual. We plan on taking a 2 week Christmas break starting on Dec.19th. I hope you all have a great day and God bless.

Miss Katie!!!!

Hello everyone. May I introduce Miss Katie Lee! Isn’t she beautiful? She was born Wednesday evening at about 6:30 and weighed 7 lb. 7 oz. No complications-THANK YOU, LORD!

We got the first call about 2:30 A.M. Wednesday morning. Things progressed steadily. The girls and I watched the boys Wednesday and David stayed with Jess. God always works out the best timing. After Katie was born, we took the boys to the hospital to see Jess and Katie. Daniel is so excited to have a sister. He loves babies. Then David brought everyone home and stayed with them overnight while I stayed with Jess and Katie. The next morning we traded out again. Then David brought his girls home last night.

She seems to be a very content little girl. I want to thank all you ladies for your prayers. God is so good! Enjoy your day and God bless.

Hello Everyone!

I think it has been a long time since I made a post but things have been kinda busy here. Jess and the boys came up on Thursday. We spent Friday doing some shopping and then Dave came up Friday evening. He and Hubby went over to our pastor’s house for a men’s shoot on Saturday. Today Dave, Jess and the boys went with us to church. It was pastor appreciation day. We had a fellowship meal after church with lots and lots of good food.

Today has been a very nice day here in Floyd. Sunshine, a slight breeze and a temperature of about 65 degrees. Very nice. I hope to get some fall pictures this week to show you all. The trees are starting to get beautiful colors here. Tomorrow the girls and I will go down to play with the boys while Jess has one last ultra sound. She only has about 3 weeks to go.

This is a picture of some flowers that are blooming beside the road on our way to church. Aren’t they pretty? Well, I have a lot of posts to read to get caught up on what has been happening in everyone else’s life. Enjoy your day and God bless.
