TIMBER!!!!

When we moved into our home (and up until 12:30 this afternoon) , there were three giant evergreen trees in our backyard, two along our side fence, and one right up against the back fence.


We have a beautiful view behind our house, woodland where deer & turkeys are regularly seen. We had been thinking of making our yard bigger by removing the tree up against the back fence, and when Carrie and Tony mentioned they were going Christmas Tree hunting, we mentioned about taking the one in our back yard. Well... this weekend the big-ol-tree came down! The top 5 feet were given the special honor of Carrie, Tony and Eleanor's 2009 Christmas Tree!


 Now that the tree is gone, our backyard is HUGE!! We are able to look right into the woods and watch the deer walk right up to our fence. It is amazing.

Thanksgiving

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to write about how Blessed we are to have such a fantastic family and such loving friends! Thank you to each one of you who make our lives complete, for our life would not be the same with out each one of you!

What I am most thankful for this year is my family. To my husband, John, you stand by me through everything, and love me every step of the way. To my children, Ben and Tommy you are my light. I look at you and am amazed daily at how great you are.
