Stuffing the Turkey

Early Thanksgiving Day morning, Glory Lynn woke up, wandered upstairs to wake up the cooks (Armando and Granny B) just before 5:30 AM. Initially, Glory was not quite sure what to do with this turkey...

...but after shedding her robe and pulling up her sleeves she was ready to get to work and do whatever was necessary to get the job done.

Enjoy!

Almost In-The-Dry

Here are some more construction photos.
By the way, you will notice that the house is currently sitting in what looks like a big parking lot...no, we are not moving to a Lubbock parking lot! Eventually, the house will be moved to our land outside of Snyder.

On a more interesting note...
When Glory 1st saw the house here, she knew it was our house, but she also informed us (in a very concerned tone) that it was not next to the box-barn and Grandma and Pa Miller's ranch.
It is delightfully amazing of how aware of her surrounding she is!

Frame Work

Here are some pictures of our house in the framing phase.

Who, me?

In our family, it is well known by all (even little Levi), that little people are not allowed to grab for things on kitchen counter-tops where knives and other potentially dangerous tools might be found. In this case, Levi was not technically reaching for any objects, but his guilty conscience causes him to grab is ear...this is his way of saying, "I didn't do it!"

Just like Mama...Just Like Papa

Glory and Levi sure are growing up fast. It is really fun to watch then act and work like big people. Here Glory is working in the kitchen and helping Mama make Applebutter. Levi on the other hand has always enjoyed driving and any time that he has the chance, he will take it.

Well, I do not really have time to write much...I rarely do, but I thought that you would enjoy the pictures. Be sure to note, that you can click on the picture to see an enlarged version.

Enjoy!

Costume Box

Since before we had Glory, Alesha and I have stored a costume box. We brought it with us from Seymour recently, and there it sat. A large black costume box. Several times a day, Glory would ask if we could open it, but sadly I had to pat her on the head and say, "No. Not yet, but we will open it soon. Ok?" Agreeably, she would wander off and find something else to do. Well, the other day we opened it up for the first time since Alesha was a little girl. From a military general to an rich old lady, and from an arctic hunter to a native Indian, we played many different roles. Both Glory and Levi seemed to have a grand time. Towards the end, I think that Levi was ready for us to wear normal clothes and return back to being Mama and Papa.

After these messages...

Wow! It has been quite some time since we have last updated this blog. I will consult the blogmaster about this issue. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment!
