Philips 8th birthday



Today is our son Philips 8th birthday. He was found in central Thailand
when he was a baby. Someone in the government gave him a Jan 1st
birthday. About 9 months before we adopted him, my mom had a dream. In
the dream she basically saw that our next child was born on Oct 17th.
The dream was in April of 2000. She did not know we wanted to adopt.
Anyway, to make a long story short, Philip was found in Nov. 1998. He
was only a few months old when he was found. He was probably born in
Sept or Oct of 1998. This is why we are giving him the Oct. 17th birthday. Today Philip got a punching bag and boxing gloves as a gift. He also got some teenage mu tent Ninja turtles
action figures. He and Thomas are in their bedroom playing with the new
toys, and are very loud! We will give Philip and Thomas a joint
birthday party in Dec. We decided to wait until then, because its a new
school year...and they are just now making new friends. We thought it
would be best to wait until they had clear friendships , and knew who
they wanted to invite. There is a video of our first year with Philip
on our Photo blog. Happy Birthday Philip!!!

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
