Yesterday we went to Tweetsie Railroad with Dave, Jess, and the kids.  We had a great time.

It’s hard to get this boy to be still long enough for a picture.

The highlight of the day was meeting this guy.  For those of you who don’t know him, this is Thomas the Train.  We all rode Thomas.  Every time during the day that we would hear his whistle blow, Sam would say “You hear that train, MawMaw?”  This was his birthday gift from his mom and dad.  His birthday was June 7th.  He is now 2 yrs old.  Amazing.

I think this picture says LOVE.  When a man the size of David squeezes himself into a car the size of this one just so your little boy can drive, that has to say love.

I think they are conspiring a plan!

He’s Here

Samuel Lucas Bates arrived today at 10:53 A.M.   He weighed 7 lb even and is 20″ long.  He, of course, is a beautiful boy.  I do have pictures, however, I do not know how to load them on David’s computer.  I will post pictures as soon as I go home.   Thanks to all of you for your prayers.   It was a fast and relatively easy delivery.  Both him and his mother are doing very well.  Daniel, the girls and I are having a good time together, however he misses his mom and dad terribly.  Hopefully, they will be back home tomorrow.  I just wanted to let everyone know he is here and well.  Thanks again for your prayers.  Take care and God bless.

Growing Up

This boy has definitely grown.  I’m not sure based on the past year if he’ll ever grown up but he has certainly grown.  He is a very playful pup and has brought lots of love into our house.  (Lots of other things too-but we won’t go into that.)  Things have been busy around here for the last couple of days.  Saturday I went grocery shopping while Hubby worked on clearing out some stuff from his wood working building.  Sunday was church.  Then early Monday morning we decided to make a trip to Grundy to see George’s Mom and Dad.  We didn’t get back home until a little after 10:00 that night.  Long day.  Yesterday was piano and I attempted to move that mountain of laundry that had built up.  We had to dry everything inside.  It was very overcast, chilly and windy.  Today promises to be better.  The sun is shining already.  Hopefully we can use the clothesline today.  We have 5 baby geese on the pond.  Big excitement.  I hope to get a picture of them today so you all can see them.  Our rhubarb is ready.  I think I will make some strawberry-rhubarb jam.  It’s one of our favorites.  Well, I think my crew is hungry.  I better get some breakfast going.  Take care and God bless.
