More baby pictures to share... :)
My very close friend (she was my roomie in college) and her husband (whom I also went to college with) welcomed their daughter, Eleanor Grace, to the world back in November 2007. She was a couple months early; however, the family is doing well. These are some recent family shots.
She is such a cutie!
Congratulations Gretchen and Jeremy!
We had a diaper shower for our friend, Jennifer, at Whole Hog today. Mom and baby have a wonderful glow about them! Congratulations!
Blu and Mitchell went fishing on Lake Chicot over the weekend--it was a beautiful weekend, highs in the low 70's. Not too many fish caught, but they did bring home some crawdads. We had etouffee' Monday night. Yum!
This past Tuesday, we had a freak snowfall. Very unexpected. And now, they are calling for more snow on Friday (yes, the day I take the test). I've decided I AM GOING TO TAKE THIS TEST...after all, I have four-wheel drive and my sanity is worth saving (at least to me).

Our nights this past week have been spent watching this series. It was like movie-crack for us. We loved it, every minute of it. There are reports that a similar HBO series, (The Pacific) featuring the Pacific theater during WWII, will premier in 2009. And yes, we will watch that one too.
2007 is long a memory and now we welcome 2008...I chose this picture because it shows a path, but you can't yet see what's around the corner...just like what lies ahead this year.
I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's celebration...we were once again spending time out in the great Arkansas outdoors, celebrating with family and friends. (Pictures to follow, hopefully!).
It was time to get out in the Arkansas backwoods. We have not been able to enjoy the peace and quiet for some time now. It was a good time, not to cold (even though we were all dressed for the arctic!).
Now it's time to finish up getting ready for Christmas! Only 13 more days...
Pilot on intercom: "Uh, folks, I'm going to have the flight crew instruct you guys on how prepare for an emergency landing. This is just an extreme precaution. It seems we hit a coyote during our take off from Denver...All of our systems are indicating everything is fine, but we just want to be cautious. So, please cooperate with the crew and we'll make it to Portland just fine."
This happened on my recent trip to Portland. I thought he was joking. Not so.
We made it to Portland, bells and whistles ringing. The remainder of the trip was quiet; the return flight experienced no problems at all.
This was taken by a co-worker who had the opportunity to travel to Kalispell, Montana for training. Lucky dog.
