Deer

This morning as I was getting ready to leave for work, I got a pain pill for Keith. I went to the sink to get him a glass of water and looked out the kitchen window. There was a deer laying in front of the pond. I had never seen one there before. I had Keith come to the window to see it. As some geese flew in to land on the pond, he stood up. He just looked around for awhile and then slowly walked across the bridge over the ponds. He then walked over to the woods and I had to leave for work. It was just so neat to watch. We have seen lots of prints in the snow that they have been up around Keith's shop, but have never looked out at the right time to see them. I love living out in the country again.

I guess by now you all know that Kevin and Sarah are having a girl. I already have two pages in her scrapbook and a cross stitch all done waiting for name, date, time and weight. I can hardly wait till August!! Check out their blog they have posted the cutest ultrasound of her little foot!

Happy Easter

I wish all of you a Happy Easter. Keith had hernia surgery Wednesday. I took off three days of work to stay home with him. He wanted to go to his mother's today, but after his shower he realized that he was not up to it. His brother, Dave, and nephew, Chris, brought out a plate of food for us before they ate. We really appreciated it. Kurt and Christy and the kids stopped out this afternoon on their way home from her Grandmother's. It was good to see them. Chloe had made some cupcakes that looked like Easter baskets and she brought some to us. I will post a picture of them and of Grandpa enjoying them. We had snow Friday and Saturday and I took a picture of one of our blue spruces out my bedroom window. It sure doesn't look like the day before Easter.

Last Weekend

I am so behind in everything, but want to post about last weekend. Kurt had a table at the gun show at the Fort Wayne Colisium. He and Christy went Saturday and we got to keep the kids. We had fun. Kraig, Casey & I played Scrabble. They all like to play in the basement and they played school, lincoln logs, and who know what else. The girls like to play with my jewelry too. I will post a picture of Chloe & Cayla.It was great to have little ones around again. Kraig was in the Math Bowl at his school. He had a competition at Hamilton, Indiana and his team won 2nd place in their division. He had a medal that he won and I took his picture. Will post it. The kids tried out Grandpa's hot tub and I think they liked it. Kurt and Christy brought chicken and all the fixins for supper, so I didn't even have to cook much. Just enjoyed the kids and so did Grandpa. Sunday we went to the gun show and I will post some pictures of that too. It was a busy week and next week promises to be even busier. I have started back scrapbooking and I am only on Halloween 2006! I have a long way to go, but would like to be caught up before Baby Whitman arrives!

Here We Go Again-Level 2 Snow Emergency

Well another storm went through last night and we are in a level 2 snow emergency. You are not to be on the roads unless necessary. So the library closed again. Can't say it made me sad! I must admit I was a little upset when Keith bought the snow blower as he had already bought a blade for the tractor. But this morning, I was glad he had bought it. The snow looks pretty, but if you have to get out it is not fun. I will post some more pictures of him blowing snow this morning. We had some pretty big drifts in front of the garage doors. The snow seemed light and it just hung down from the eaves of garage. It looked pretty.

A Little Time with Kevin & Sarah

Keith & I went to Cincinnati Saturday morning and went to visit Kevin & Sarah. We stayed all night and went back home Sunday morning. We hadn't seen them since Christmas and it was time. They had spelled out a welcome in blocks on their coffeetable. I will post a picture. Katie and Casey were there when we got there. He really has grown as I haven't seen him since I was down this summer. He is a sweet little man and wasn't even afraid of me when I held him. Katie is looking good as she has been losing weight and she is doing a better job at that than me. We went to Bass Pro Saturday night (well Keith did) and Kevin, Sarah and I went to a scrapbook store and Babies R Us. Then we went out to the Old Spaghetti Factory for supper. It was really good food. Gilmore really wanted to be by Keith all the time (maybe because he feeds him). It was fun to see them and spend some time together. I will post some pictures. They just both seem to glow and are really happy about the coming baby as we all are.
