"It was a dark and stormy night...."

Well, kind of! Our power went out, so we waited for it to come back on for awhile....never did so the generator got started! Now it's back on and raining.....but while it was off, I decided that pictures with an oil lamp and a little girl who had a turban on her head would be a grand idea! =) And this is what I got out of it!

I love how fat her nose looks in this one!


You should be scared...really, really scared!

Today my mom wrote an article for her blog about saying "I'm sorry" and whether or not it's meaningful or just something to make resolution without being sincere. Anyhow, here are some shots I got for it!
So, that's pretty much it for the day not including Caleb's and my work on tapping our trees! I'm hoping this time it works out! He's rather excited about it though, so it makes it all the better!! =) I'll try to post some pictures soon! Hope y'alls week has started off well and I pray it continues to be even more so!

Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!? {insert grin}

    Thanks Jess!!! Yes, Em REALLY looks like Caleb in that picture....too crazy!! *laughs*

    Matthew, thanks!! It was somewhat fun to not have the power....but it does get inconvenient when there's food to be made and such!

    We tried last year, without the right supplies, so this year we borrowed some from the Castle family. They makes syrup every year for Christmas...makes a very sweet present! =) Caleb seems really excited about it, and hopefully it turns out! =)

Added this one, just cause I like it best! =) What I've been working on, because these are much needed very soon! The Spare- oom is for my sister and brother-in-law. They are putting it above their baby's room which is also the guest room/stash room/sewing room! Couldn't decide which one I liked better....=P 1.... and 2! This is for my brother and soon-to-be Sister-in-law! I've made three of these and have gotten a good report...so this is what I give when people are getting married! =) Now to go conquer my Saturday, which it is now snowing after a HUGE rain/thunder storm last night. Anyone else have as random weather as we have?!?!? Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?

So, as promised, here is PART 2 of our crazy weather! Snow cone? THE SUN IS SHINNING!!!! The three who were brave enough to venture into the great unknown! William and his "guys". Pulling Em out of a drift! Our lane.... The neighbor was kind enough to move the snow to the sides of the rode....thus making HUGE walls on either side! In the country there a LOTS of new games to play. THIS one is called FIND THE DRIVEWAY! Em in a drift.... One happy and rather cold girl! He's not sad.... he's a happy boy! Emma, cooking in style..... Abby stayed inside..she thought it was a better view from the window. Is there anything better then a nice cup of Chai tea while looking out at a frozen wasteland? Some vanilla (I know, very random picture) to make.... White and milk chocolate cookies for the kind neighbor who shoveled our drive!! Abby reading by a nice warm fire.....still not ready to go outside! Abby wrote a blog-post yesterday...I thought it was really cute and I'm su...

Well, here I am after a FULL day of snow, sun, family, friends, fun, and sweet fellowship! Wow! What can I say....it was cold, fun, crazy and did I mention it was cold? Our day started with sauteing the onions and garlic. Adding the beef and other such stuff to make a great southern Chili! Of course we had to make one not so spicy for those who cannot tolerate the taste of a Chipotle pepper! So, below we have Jessica (who did go out and play in the snow) stirring the stuff in a BIG pot! When I woke up the sun wasn't out....I was pretty bummed but was okay about it since we were going to have fun. The sun came out right before the Evans family arrived!! *bliss* God must have sent a blessing my way! Today is Jedidiah Evans Birthday, so we all got to sing for him!! Here is the delicious cake that Grace made for him!! Abby and Cara having fun by their secret snowball stash! =) I told Josiah he looked like he came out of a magazine....whatchya think?!?! Some of the girls stop for a pi...
