Fall 2009 Update

so, it's been way too long since last post. a lot going on needless to say! Jud turns 5 this week! holy crap! Webb is now 16 months and the holidays are here. Chad's home improvement business is booming and the furniture business is picking back up as well. life is good and we are so blessed. we recently took jud on his first big hunting trip. he is very much into football these days and loves his mississippi state bulldogs (he gets it from me!). webb follows jud's every step! it's amazing really. i wonder did i do that to dave when i was little. ha! hope everyone enjoys their holiday season!

Changes! Changes!

OMG! Everything is changing soooo fast! Webb got ear tubes this past week and within one day he began crawling and saying "ma ma"!!!!! He is such a big boy now! Jud is playing T-ball, Chad has started a new side business and I got a promotion at work! Holy Moly!!!!! We can't keep up! I can't keep up!!!!! I miss my "Meow" a whole bunch....I guess I never realized how much I depended on her, how much I am like her, how much of an influence she had on ALL our lives! Our family and friends were so supportive of us after we lost Meow, though. Aunt Tony and Aunt Sarah are precious and we now depend on them to give us the love that Meow always did!

Summer is here now and I'm so thankful. Dave is at Ole Miss teaching and hopefully we will get to see him more this summer. Hope to have cousin Gordon and his wife Sarah Hart over for dinner soon! Gordon is hilarious and I enjoy getting to work with him at Lane. :)

I look forward to what the rest of the summer has in store....

hammin it up for the camera!

everyone else is out on spring break this week!!!! everyone but me! arrrggghhhhh! on the positive side of things though....perhaps it will be a great week at work to get lots done! oh yeah.....lovin' that approach! boys looked so cute before church this morning....had to take their pic!

it just can't be real that my birthday has already come and gone! that means that spring truly is upon us. spring cleaning and projects have become a reality now....which is good. i'm done with the old.....ready for the new! dad's surgery went well and he is healing nicely. things are pretty good in plantersville these days. the snow last week was neat....jud and chad played in it some. i was anxious for it to melt so that my travels to NC would be fine...and my trip was great! lots to do at work this week.....

spring fever!

we are soooo ready for spring! my electric bill is ready for it too! ha! had a terrific visit with dave this past weekend. webb hit the 6 month mark yesterday and mom hits 34 in two weeks! whew! time flies! meow's been back in the hospital but is home now. mom is facing a lot over the next couple of weeks. everyone keep her and the rest of the fam in your prayers. peace out!

several weeks since last post. vegas market went very well. it's always good to be home though. spring fever has me excited and ready for a bit of fishing and yard work! the boys are growing and doing well. chad has already made his first appearance to grenada spillway....dadgummit...one of our favorite spots! dave is coming home tonight due to the long weekend. we can't wait to see him. valentine's weekend has been a great one..."love is in the air"!

we are weathering the cold this week! i certainly don't like it but at least it provided chad an opportunity to tag a decent 9 pnt. i guess the "rut" was hot and heavy this week. all is well for now...i'm anxious for vegas market to come and go and honestly ready for spring so we can finish up some of the final house projects.

okay, okay...so it has been a while, but the files' household has been relatively busy over the past few months! that's to say the least! webb is now 4.5 months old. he is HUGE! big brother jud just loves him to death and wants to be with him all the time. we are settling in the house more each day and it truly is beginning to feel like home. it was fun decorating a new christmas tree this year and having new places for new decorations...and old ones, too! i'm still here at lane and chad is still in the timber business...he hasn't killed the big one yet this season, but there's still several weeks left.
