Duck Hunting-Day 1

These are smiles of joy and fatigue. Jeremy and Adam drove from SC to AR yesterday and made their preparations for hunting. They were in bed by 10:00 pm and up at 1:00 am. Most of us would just shake our heads, but they have three more days of this routine.

Home for Christmas

It's been a terrific first day home with many warm blessings. Jeremy and I drove from Arkansas to South Carolina yesterday and made it home by midnight. We spent last night with his parents and this afternoon with his grandparents. This evening Mom had a traditional Low Country Boil; however, the true surprise was our grand fashion statement. Mom and I are wearing the same Christmas shirt. Being the scrapbookers that we are, we immediately got together in front of the tree for a quick shot.

Thanksgiving 2007

Jeremy and Jack read Knuffle Bunny.

Once again, Jeremy and I were extended a kind invitation to join the Bell's at Thanksgiving. Matt has said it's now a tradition for the Bell's and the Reese's to celebrate Thanksgiving together. Matt, Steve & Jack smoked the turkey, and Amy, Sharon and I prepared the sides.
Knuffle Bunny was in hot rotation after dinner, and it was Jeremy's first reading!
As Amy said, we had much to give thanks for.

Family Visit

Mom, Sissy and Adam made a trip to Arkansas October 25-29. As always, it was such a blessing to see family. Jeremy & I truly feel blessed to have had so many of our family visit us throughout this past year.
Many thanks go to my mom for making a special trip to AR to assist me with my recovery. Although her flights were less than desirable, I was truly thankful to have her with me.

Fall Fishing on the Arkansas River

Jeremy, Adam and Phil made a productive day of fishing on the river. Although no trophies were caught that day, fellowship was enjoyed!

We made a day trip to Stuttgart, AR. It was an extremely important outing for Adam, and visiting Mack's was certainly over the top!


Sable's Halloween BoBo!

Mums

These beautiful mums were sent to me by my grandparents during my recovery. Thanks, Granny & Papa!!

New Furniture

We certainly appreciated the hand-me-downs when we married and purchased our house, but it was time to move forward. Jeremy & I purchased new furniture for our living room, and what a terrific investment these new pieces have been. With my recent surgery and time home, I was grateful for new and comfortable furniture.

Triton Exchange

August brought a new addition to our boating family. Jeremy sold his older Triton to a friend at work, and purchased this beauty from a man here in Maumelle. You'd be surprised at the tight squeeze it makes in our garage. I keep saying that one day I will wake up to a lower unit jutting through my shower wall. Jeremy, my father and my brother-in-law are now all proud owners of red Tritons!!
