Random happenings, in random order.

The mad tie-er has been at it again.

 Sherman making home made bread.

 A sunny warmish day in January.

 He LOVED the pup....and the pup actually loved him.  He would stand really close for a long time.

 Big sis and Little sis, doing a little art work together.

 Planning their next strategic move.

Wren likes Brentley.......FROM A DISTANCE PLEASE!  She has a serious slobber phobia!

Oh those kissable little baby bodies!!  look at that sweet soft yumminess :)

 My Wednesday White door shot.  They were headed out the door to school as usual.

The mad tie-er, tied her sister to herself, and both of them to the car!

.......AND......she tied nearly a whole roll of toilet paper all over their room!

Happy New Year!

A little behind around here!  I'm skipping Christmas for now.  Hopefully I'll get time to post all of those pictures eventually.

 Hair styling.

 This little doll baby is staying with us for 5 days while his Daddy and Mommy celebrate their anniversary.

 

I don't think he's missing them a bit :)

 He pretty much has his pick of laps to sit on.

 I'm trying to do a "white door Wednesday" shot each week.  Just to document their growth.

 Iley says she's playing with her friends.

Saturday morning bottle with the gramps.

 Helping Grandpa fix the garbage disposal.

 Bethlehem had a visit from Barbie......

And two stars were still in the sky.

 I was busy doing something......and all of a sudden realized that it was very quiet.  I looked all over and couldn't find Brentley!  He was in the pantry.......thoroughly enjoying one of the girls' candy canes he found in their boxes from Christmas.

 This was the cute crowd in our bed this morning.

A little ditty....about an itty bitty.....preachers table

My mother bought the old preachers table when their district built a new church.  It is now functioning as her dining room table....MUCH to my father, and all the son-in-laws disgust.  They saw no problem with the old table and chairs that to them were much more comfortable.......although to the women, MUCH less charming.  It is always commented on at length during any meal together at it.  It started innocently enough with a comment from Mike....." I just want to apologize ahead of time if I kick anyone under the table"  ......to some strange minds.....that's all it took......a song was born.  Sung to the tune of "The itsy bitsy spider"  We bring you,

   Ode to the Preachers Table

The itsy bitsy preachers table is so very small.

Grandpa adds the extension, and his backs against the wall.

Grandma's house is tiny so the table fits just right.

But upon the comfort of the men, It's caused a terrible blight.

The kids sit in the kitchen, there is no room for more.

The men complain about the chairs, their feet braced on the floor.

Poor Grandma serves both tables, while Grandpa fills her plate.

A cold meal while the others finish, seems to be her fate.

Opinions on the table are never held inside.

 The same complaints are made each year, and threaten to divide.

Elbow to Elbow and knee to knee, we are a cozy bunch.

But even crowded quarters, does not keep us from our lunch!

We love each other dearly, though in taste we disagree.  

Some don't see the charm, in sitting knee to knee.

The comfort of the men, we freely sacrifice.

Because every woman knows, that beauty has it's price.

Written in collaboration, by Gwen and Judy.......with much hysterical laughing. Christmas, 2014

For those of you who don't know us.....I apologize for the craziness :)  For those of you who do, or have eaten at this charming table.....I hope you enjoyed it.
