The Boys

My mom took the boys on a walk to the graveyard a few weeks ago. She got some cute shots of them!

(Notice his "I'm not doing anything" expression) 

Did I mention there are lamas? (lol their names are Elvis and Duke!)

HELP

Help! Does anyone know how to get a movie you make in iMovie to the blog???

P.S. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Spring Rain

It's been raining off and on for the passed few days. As I was listening to the pounding of the rain I remembered a poem I once read.

Rain, rain

Beating against the pane!

How endlessly it pours

Out of doors

From the blackened sky-

I wonder why!

Flowers, flowers,

Upspringing after showers,

Blossoming fresh and fair,

Everywhere!

Ah, God has explained

Why it rained!

-Anonymous

This poem is true! I am seeing blossoms everywhere!

A Great Book

If you are looking for a historical book to read I suggest you grab this one! The Open Door by Mrs. J.L. Ragsdale is an amazing book! The back cover explains it better than I can.

"This is not a polished, literary work, but rather the very heartbeat of soldiers of Christ out in the battlefield of life-right here in the heart of America. It is a true story of a couple who left their well-to-do California home to establish The Open Door Children's Home and received life's richest reward, that of loving and protecting those who are closest to the heart of God-the children. You'll find yourself struggling to hold back the tears."

I've read it twice already and it has quickly become one of my favorites! I highly recomend it!

Of Hunting and Frost

We went on a rabbit hunt recently! I must confess I took more pictures of the frost than the actual hunt but it was still fun!

My dad and brother walking across a frost covered field. 

The beagles hot on a trail.

A strange, frost covered bushy thing. Pretty though!

A brier branch.

My favorite picture!

Which do you like?

My Cousins

Halloo friends! My family and I have been taking care of my two little cousins, Haydon, age 4, and Adrian, 9 months! They are so sweet, although, we have our tough days too! Here is a picture of Haydon! Isn't he cute? I'll post a picture of the baby soon!
