Goodbye, Sweet Bobo

Today was a very sad day for our family. We had to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Bobo. Bobo was a part of our family for the past 12 years. Bobo was a very loyal and obedient dog - we will miss him very much.

Happy Birthday, Paw Paw!

Today we celebrated Daddy's 68th birthday. We had a fun time opening presents, having lunch, and finally cake and ice cream.

Paw Paw makes a really big wish!!!

Journey to the Promised Land

Today was an exciting day in the life of our church. We recently purchased 60 acres adjoining our property and today we celebrating by lining up and crossing over into our "Promised Land". It was a beautiful day, and we all really enjoyed a great time of food, fellowship, and fun!

Fishing Widow

Recently, Jamie has taken up fishing with his friend James on Lake Murray. Needless to say, I have become a fishing widow many weekends. James posted this video of Jamie driving the boat on YouTube. He is having a great time!
