Fun In The Kitchen
Marcy and Mother have been making fudge and no bake cookies. Patty and Mother decorated Christmas cookies on Saturday. Mother/Grandma always made each family a tray of cut out cookies for every holiday. She loved to bake cookies and we loved to eat them!

Photo album for our 1st grandchild
I found a photo album that holds 600 pictures with room for refill pages. Do you think it will be big enough?
Update on Alison, today she has been resting at home. She is off work now just waiting for the baby to make an appearance. Today is the official due date, J.C. was born on his due date and Alison was one week late. Her next doctor's appointment is Thursday.

The Halloween Group 2008
We had a fun time Trick or Treating. Kevin was an old pro knowing the best and the scariest houses. Fowler's first time trick or treating, he wanted to stay and visit at each house. Not enough time to hit every house in town but we tried and the boys got a ton of treats.
Alison won 2nd place in the Community Halloween Contest, beat out by a Chicken Costume.
Alison served us pizza and more.

The first egg!!!!
Nugget was on egg watch today, she spent some time sitting in the nest with clean straw ready for the first egg. By 4:30 I gave up on getting a egg so I turned the girls out. I noticed Nugget under the deck making her own nest in the dirt and by 5:15 we had an egg!
Now I have a new chore gathering the eggs.

Bootie Kamp
I graduated from Bootie Kamp. The most important thing I learned babies don't sleep on their stomach anymore always sleep on their back. Babies need plenty of love and attention but I knew that already. So I'm ready to welcome the new baby to our family.

Nashville Girls Out of Gas
85% of the stations in Nashville are out of gas and so are the girls. Amy running on empty, Fawn 1/8 of a tank and Amber 1/4 of a tank. Long lines where they have gas. Looks like the girls are grounded for the weekend. Don't panic girls.... barges with 3 million gallons of fuel just came to town down the Cumberland River.

Varmints in the chicken coop
I thought I had to worry about varmints taking the eggs, but these two varmints put eggs in.
My eyes got big when I saw those two eggs, I've been checking everyday for my first eggs. It's not nice to fool Mamma Hen.
We had a good laugh.

Jim & Mr. Chapman's pump
As a boy Jim didn't need a alarm clock. Every morning his neighbor would pump water at this pump and wake him up.
