rainy day

Praise God for the rainy day! If you have been following the local Georgia news, you'll know that our drought is so bad that they are saying we have less than a month of water left. So, we were thrilled today to wake to a gentle rain. Well, let's just say that I was thrilled. Scooter was so disappointed that he could not go to the park, as we had planned. We worked on inside projects instead.

Our big art project this week is to finish our Christmas cards. We are individually decorating each card, so I hope you enjoy! It may be the only year of this. Here are the boys working on their cards. Nana gave us the snowman table cloth and it looks so festive on the table! Scooter is painting at the end of the table. He insisted on wearing his "chemical gloves." Roo is coloring with crayons. I have to keep a close eye on him. He likes to eat the crayon, or even better, feed the crayon to Farley.

I realize it has been 12 days since my last post. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving visiting Derrick's family in Texas. The boys did so well with the long drive, including Farley. He loved meeting his "cousin dogs". Our Thanksgiving meal included 16 people and five dogs. Kevin & Elisabeth left their three dogs at home! I'll post some funny stories and pictures as the week progresses. Below are a few good pictures.

Roo is absent from this picture -- everyone knows not to wake a sleeping baby!!

Here are three of the dogs during the dinner. They weren't enjoying it as much as the humans, as they were forced to stay behind the gate for the meal. Farley was locked in his bed, because we didn't trust him not to bust through the gate. Molly is probably asleep on the couch, enjoying not having competition from humans. The dogs pictured above are: Tiger Lily (who thinks she is a cat - always has to have a lap to sit on), Pebbles and Sunshine.
