LOOK...the main floor is going in-

Well it's happening, the framing has begun and the crew is working hard to complete this phase. If you look close you can see where the stairs will be- Pictures don't do the 9' ceilings in the basement justice, they are wonderful! Uncle Bo and Dad are working where the stairs are located.
This shot is looking from Caleb's room towards the girls rooms with the doorway where Jake's room was.

Small pleasures

A basement floor.... Gathering wood and a Warm outdoor fire on a cold day....
Tree with the prettiest red berries....
Close-up view of those pretty berries....
A unique 'home' on the back of an oak leaf....
Some of the many small pleasures from the lot we enjoy I thought I'd share.

Thanksgiving brings fun company...

YAY Ellie, Jenna and Cory arrive!! Ellie came in a few hours ahead of Jen and Cory so we ran some errands while in the 'big' city. Once Jen and Cory land we travel directly to the restuarant to meet the family for dinner. Mamaw and Papaw also arrived for the festivities which is also a treat.





On Thanksgiving day...before everyone leaves the festivities and while they are still visiting and laughing at the table it was time to take the camera around and get some memories captured. It was a very enjoyable day with good food and laughter.


So glad Roger and Leslie were close enough to join the family for the weekend...always love their company.
Just before we say our good-byes at the airport and Cory, Jenna and Ellie head back to their busy lives. We LOVED their company and the fun they always bring with them! Sure was a quiet ride to the airport though- nothing like the chatty ride after picking them up! Go figure. Miss you all!!! The house is waaaay too quiet these days. The visit was great - we'll take what time we can get!
