December 29, 2010 (Making Mothers’ Day)

Katie makes mothers day presents for the important mothers in her life on our kitchen floor in May 2010.

December 27, 2010 (Rex & Molly)

April 2010 My sister’s dog, Zoe, had a large litter of puppies in February, and since we lost Buster, we had been looking for a new pet. We ended up with two of them! They’re a great couple of beasts – they are gentle with Katherine and are very easy to get along with. Today, they’re [...]

December 26, 2010 (A Stray Cat)

This stray cat wandered into our yard often and tried to adopt us. Daddy is not a cat person! We got some puppies a few weeks later and that was the last we saw of this cat.

December 26, 2010 (Snowy Winter in Mississippi)

Never in recent memory has it snowed in Mississippi as much as it has this winter. A typical year doesn’t see any snow, and probably once a decade it will snow enough to stick overnight. But this year there were several snowstorms that each dropped a couple of inches on us here. Naturally, Katie loves [...]

December 24, 2010 (Bye, Buster)

Our sweet dog Buster didn’t survive the year, but we had a great time with him while he was around. He treated Katie with care and we do miss him! We’ll show you our two new puppies in a few days.

December 23, 2010 (Katiebug)

So the name ‘Katydid‘ never stuck — we ended up calling her ‘Katiebug’.

September 28, 2008 (The Nursery)

Once upon a time, A little girl named Katherine was but a twinkle in her parents’ eyes. “Oh goody,” said her mommy, “I get to make a nursery!” She looked and looked and pondered what she would use to decorate. “How about Peter Rabbit in a garden?” She wondered. So off she went to find Peter [...]

September 24, 2008 (Two Weeks Old)

Hi everybody. I just turned two weeks old today, so I thought I’d let you guys know what I’ve been up to. Today, Daddy read a book to me. It was Dr. Seuss. I don’t understand any of the words yet, but I really like the pictures a lot. They’re very colorful. My Mommy and my [...]

August 30, 2008 (Before & After)

Now, without any further ado, I give you the before and after pictures of our lovely home! This is the front of our lovely home. As you can see, we changed the shutters and added small shutters to the small window on the left, added a new storm door, painted the 144 above our door, [...]

August 21, 2008 (Updates!!)

Yes, we have updates! Too many to put on one post, so we’ll start with house updates because we have pictures with those. So over two weeks ago (Aug 3-9), my parents came to Jackson to help us do some renovations that Chad and I have been wanting to do, but don’t have the tools, time, [...]

July 2, 2008 (Yard Improvements)

About three months ago, a terrible storm came through Jackson, which brought several tornados and estimated 100-mph straight-line winds. Our house was right in the middle of the affected area of town. Fortunately, we only had a couple thousand bucks’ worth of damage to our house. To give you an idea of the scale of [...]

June 13, 2007 (Stir-Crazy)

The minutes passing between now and the wedding are beginning to feel more and more like months! Fortunately, a friend of mine (Schaum) has the next week or so free and he has agreed to spend it on my couch, so I don’t have to be totally alone for the duration. Thank God! Aside from just [...]

June 11, 2007 (Moved In)

This weekend, I finally got the vast majority of my belongings and furniture moved from my apartment to the house. My parents and my buddy Jason came to help, and I think I completely exhausted them! Of course, it didn’t help that the temperature was pushing 100 degrees (~37 C). I rented a UHaul, one of [...]

June 7, 2007 (Pictures From the House)

I’ve got a few pictures of the house and what it looks like now that I’ve painted. As you can see, I’m feeling right at home already! If you’re not Sarah, click the “more” link to see more pictures from the house.

June 1, 2007 (A New Home)

Wednedsay evening, I left work early and picked Sarah up, and we went down to the lawyer’s office to close on our house!  After signing papers for about an hour, the (former) owners handed us the keys and we became homeowners! Our new home is in northeast Jackson, about 10 minutes’ drive from Belhaven College [...]

April 12, 2007 (Getting Ready for Married Life…)

Wow, is there ever a lot that goes into getting ready for marriage! Here are just a few examples: A House We’ve been house shopping a couple of times in the past two weeks and are only now beginning to realize the extent of everything that’s involved here. We do have a couple of very [...]
