A Whole New World...

****An unpublished draft that I'm pushing out almost 3 years late****

Well, now we're four. We welcomed Annelise Florence "Flossie" Jarnigan into our family on January 2nd. I had forgotten the first few months. It had only been four years, and maybe the first time isn't quite so bad since there's only one kid involved. However, add a newborn to dealing with a four year old and it's instant schedule wrecker. Whatever you had planned, just go ahead and make peace with the fact that it ain't happening.

It's not intentional sabotage, it's just that reason is out the window.

I'm not the worst blogger in history, I hope. There's likelihood a case could be made against me, but there's so little chance someone is reading this that it matters. Anyway, we're here. Thanks for checking in.

Alright, we're still here. Life is crazy. We had another kid, and she's adorable. Maybe one day I'll blog, but for now it's like semi-decade updates.

Three Long Years

Umm...yeah, so if you haven't figured it out yet, blogging is not really high on my to do list. However, since I'm here, Let's Blog!

So, first off, here is the World Wide Web debut of our yearly Christmas pic!

Ellena is quite a bit bigger than her last photo on here, considering it was a sonogram and all. It's been over three years since that post and our little girl is about to turn three years old. Wow, time has flown.

Sadly, in the in-between time, we had to say goodbye to Ayda. She went through two bouts of cancer and we had to let her go. She's still quite missed but we now have Jane Deborah (JD) to demand our attention. JD is just a little over a year old now and has been with us for a full year. I'll get a pic of her up later.

Anyway, that's enough for now. I don't want to wear this thing out...

Peanut Update

What?  It hasn't been a year yet and I'm posting again?  Wow...

So, we're 43 days out from Peanut's due date.  Had our first child-birthing class two nights ago and Katherine has breast-feeding class tonight.  Have a crib set up, dresser in place and will get the chest of drawers in the next week or so.  It's all coming together.

Here's one of the latest sonograms.  At the 2:08 mark you'll see Peanut get ill because Katherine was poking and prodding to get he/she moving:

Enjoy!

Okay, it has been well over a year since my last post. No garden this year, but there's been a whole lot of other changes. We have a new car. The Buick finally was getting to be a liability due to the fact of this:

 So I now have a 2013 Mazda CX-5 that can safely accommodate Peanut.

A New Year and the beginnings of a new garden

Well, we have planted our seeds in our peet pellets. We have green bean plants, okra plants, and green pepper plants that are coming out. We are just waiting for them to grow a little more so they can be planted in the garden in a few weeks. Of course, that does mean that the garden does need to be tilled soon. Guess we'll get to that eventually. Until then, maybe we'll have enough plants to spring up to make more than a "three bean salad".



Have a good week everyone!
