Well our day started off with the fun job of planting 1000 pine trees that Rudy got from William a forestry dude that he knows... We decided to plant some pines down in the bottom land of our property where it was a bit overgrown and too wet to do much with.




 










































We were given a planter to pull behind the tractor but after looking at the planter we decided to start off planting by hand with some spades and ropes to try and line everything up just right. So here is a little glimpse of that in action.
























































































































































































































































































































































In conclusion, it was a wonderful day. We really enjoyed getting out and working together as a family. We feel like the Lord has really blessed us with a job that allows us to be together as a family every day, working with and teaching our children that way the Lord designed.

Everyone had fun, we worked together, laughed together and even got some sun together..

Well this is a quick update to let you all know we brought Jennifer home from the hospital last night.
I will have to update later in more detail about our eventful week but I have to get up to the house to take care of the lil man.

Jen is doing quite well and is on an oral antibiotic for the next week. She will have to take it easy and we will go back in a week to talk to the Dr about the surgery to remove her appendix which will probably be done in a few weeks..

I will post later and in more detail about what happened. Thank you all so much for your prayers and concern. It was so nice to be the recipients of such love and support from everyone!

Here are a few pictures from our time in the fancy hotel this week!!

You ask what is new in the chickens house??? Well not much really. My rooster is off to work at an auction and the chics are going stir crazy in this cold gloomy weather! Thankfully they have room to spread out now.
The little prince is sleeping soundly for now so I am trying to add some content to this site so Steph does not go crazy .

I am still waiting for UPS to deliver my much needed antenna so I can have internet in the house so to get my fix I have brought the router in from the office for the weekend. My mission... is to get an about me page on our ebay store, fix my rudys sporting xanga page to reflect our business and try to make this page look better!

So..its now time for more coffee so I can accomplish more stupid things like this page

I'll be back later with more not so exciting news from our neck of the woods


In the meantime for your viewing pleasure... here are a few cute pics that Auntie Irene took the other day!!
