Busy Times

The man that we are renting/buying the house from and that has hired David to work a second job has graciously paid for him to attend truck driving school.  So he is now taking classes at a community college.  He goes to that school from 7 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. and then straight to work from 2:00 until 12:30 a.m.  This will last for 10 weeks until he is done with the school.  AND in the midst of all this he is finishing his last class for his degree.

I am packing and running constantly from one practice, lesson, or appointment.  The weather has been really nice but very warm.  It is making me wonder what the winter will be like.  Farmer's Almanac says a very hard and snowy winter.  Great!  Just what I was hoping for....NOT! 

The oldest princess is on her way to a homecoming weekend in Virginia.  I went dress shopping with her and had a blast!  She is going to look beautiful!  I can't wait to see pictures of her in her formal gown.  We had a birthday for Joe....number 9!  Everyone else is busy with school activities.  I actually look forward to the hard winter.  Then no one can expect me to bring my children to anything.  I have an excuse to just sit at home!!!  :-)

We will be moving into the new house the 18th.  Everyone is very excited.  I can't wait to post pictures of the inside.  Now back to packing!!!

Packing It Up

The fun part of moving.....packing.  I feel like I should be on that TV show "Hoarders".  How did this stuff get in my house????  I am giving things away, throwing things away, doing whatever I have to in order for it to disappear!  We are down to 2 weeks and I can hardly wait! 

We have a new member of the family.  Genevieve is 8 weeks old and came into our family today.  We wanted to get a puppy for the kids since we are moving to a house that will be safer for a dog.  This house was too close to the road and Vidalia got a little too close to the garbage truck.  Genevieve is a Great Pryness/Lab mix and is the sweetest most gentle puppy I have ever seen.  She played outside with the children all day and I think is making herself at home.


The weather has turned frosty and very cool.  Fall is officially here with leaves turning gold and red and apples ripe on the tree.  We gave the chicken flock to the sisters and will start over once we get settled in the new house.  T-Bone will be heading to the butcher Tuesday.  We will have some tasty T-bones on the table in our new house.  Brisket needs to be fattened up a little more so he is moving with us.  The ducks will be looking for a new home or they will end up in the freezer. 

Autumn will see many changes for our family.  The next few weeks will be busy but exciting!!!
