*19/365.2011 {Shape Challenge: Donut}

Posted on January 19, 2011 by admin

I’ve spent much of this week keeping my eyes peeled for donut shaped objects or spots in architecture. But, when Candi posted hers it inspired me to think of other colorful donut shaped things that could be stacked and this is what I came up with.

17/365.2011 {Daisy at the Vet}

Posted on January 17, 2011 by admin

Saturday the kids were running around in the yard with Daisy, all three just having an absolute blast. The fun ended when Daisy when she decided she was Wonder Dog and could leap off the deck. Needless to say she came in side limping. It didn’t get any better the rest of weekend, so I had to take her to the vet today. It appears to be an injured knee based on Dr. Bond’s examination. We opted not to do x-rays and to let mother nature take care of it. Please pray that she heals, so that she can get back to chasing the kids around in the yard, minus the deck!

See a few other pictures of her at the vet here. (All of these were taken with me having one hand on her and the other hand just holding the camera out, hoping for something decent. Had to make sepia tone because the wall color does not lend itself to picture taking.)

16/365.2011 {Awning Raindrops}

Posted on January 16, 2011 by admin


This is the rain streaming off the awning at our front door. As you may notice, I may be a day late posting pictures more often than not. Since I’m back to regular hours, I’m not at home in the afternoons and evenings to that makes it difficult to post on time.

May he be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth.
~ Psalm 72:6

We are the Champions!

Posted on January 15, 2011 by admin

This season has been nothing less than remarkable and amazing. I agree with Coach Chizik in saying that to try and describe it would “cheapen it.” As Auburn Alum and die-hard fans, Rob and I go into every football season hoping and praying that Auburn plays well and goes to good bowl game. After the 2004 season losing a chance to play for the National Championship, it seemed as if we would probably never live to see Auburn do that well again. This team proved us wrong and we are so glad they did!

Here’s when ESPN Game Day came for the Clemson Game

Here’s Daisy all dressed and ready for the game. You know, Rob does NOT approve of dogs wearing clothing, but Daisy wore clothes with her previous family, so we obliged and found an old T-shirt of Monkey’s.
Daisy ready for the game!

After our win against Oregon, I was waiting for the kids to get ready to head to the corner. I snapped this picture of the TV with Cam being interviewed.

So after the big win over Oregon we headed down to the corner for the celebration. This celebration brought in 1,000’s of fans. Hotels were booked. Tailgaters filled the campus. Even with the ice storm. You know nothing stops the Auburn Family. BUT…would you believe right after I snapped this pic, my battery in my camera died. Did I have an extra? Um…no. 🙁 Even still we stayed down at the corner awhile longer and celebrated.

Tuesday during lunch we went down the corner to see the rolling and to get some more pictures.

12/365.2011 {Dozing Daisy::Feeling More & More at Home}

Posted on January 12, 2011 by admin

**Yes, another picture of Daisy. I just can’t help myself. She is so photogenic and doesn’t mind the camera, unlike Rosie who would practically run away when she saw me get my camera out.**

Daisy is adjusting nicely still. We’ve quickly learned some of her tendencies, which has helped us to know how she may react in certain situations. I was concerned about her response to the craziness that would probably occur while we watched the National Championship game, but she sat right at my feet. She stayed pretty calm most of the time and we never had to resort to putting her in the cage like I thought we may have to.

The first night she was here, we were curious what she would do when it was time to go to sleep. Rosie used to sleep in our room over in the corner in her bed. Tracy’s husband had mentioned that Daisy is used to sleeping in the cage at night. So we decided to bring her into the bedroom and see how she did. Well, she was a bit out of sorts. At first it seemed like she really wanted up in the bed with us, so we loved on her (not in the bed) and then told her it was time to go night-night. She barked a little and just didn’t seem comfortable, so Rob went and got the cage and set it up in our room and put her big pillow in there. She did pretty well, but still whined some. So a little later Rob ended up closing the door for her and she was fine. The next night she slept with the door open and last night, she slept out of her cage most of the night on my side of the bed on the floor.

She is so funny, when any of us hug each other, she seems to get jealous and she jumps up on us like she wants to be included.

Today I finally got Rosie’s old beds out of storage and washed them. Here you see she has made herself at home. This is without any encouragement from us, just merely putting the bed down next to the fire place in the living room where we spend most of our time.

She really knows how make herself at home!
