<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i><b>It has been an interesting last couple weeks! When I heard "ice storm" I figured 'just another Southern over-reaction to winter weather'. But alas, this time I was very wrong! The ice started coming Tuesday night as predicted, and it was at that point I knew we were doomed! I got up at 4 am on Wednesday to do some quick baking, hoping to beat the power going out. Till Wednesday morn the ice was thick. Every time the lights would blink off, we'd hold our breath to see if this would be the time they didn't come back on. At 2 pm Wednesday they did go off, for exactly 6 loong days! The first night we had no heat and it was cold! Our pastor had an extra kerosene heater that they lent us, so that helped the rest of the time! Friday night we went to some friends who had power again to shower, my that was a good feeling!! Saturday night some other friends who got power restored, gave us their generator to use. That helped a lot cause we could then use some lights and had running water which meant showers and fresh water! I learned why I was not born in the pioneer days, I'm NOT cut out for that type of roughing it! I never realized how much I took for granted flipping on a light switch, having heat, being able to cook when I want, take a shower or even flush a toilet! I'm sure I will still complain at how much the electric bill is each month, but probably not for a long time!</b></i></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I Hope y'all had a good Christmas! We did although it was a different one. We stayed home this Christmas. We did really miss seeing family at Christmas, but we did have a nice day here. I was struck this year with what a blessing family is, I think it came from being far away from dear family, but what a blessing my own little family right here in my home is too. It's more than some people have. I was reminded of this when we made our Christmas Eve cookie deliveries to a couple neighbors. Neighbor #1 is right across the road, so the girls walked them over. They came home and said how sad it was, he was all alone, no Christmas decor, watching tv. His wife and step kids left him a couple years ago and being from England, he has no other family around, so sad and lonely! Neighbors # 2 are an older couple with no kids, they stop in the Summer quite often to check out my garden and get some produce. She was away working night shift, he was at home watching tv in a completely dark house. From what Ive gathered if they have family, they don't see them often, they moved here from Philadelphia. The cookies sure brightened up his face! I couldnt help but wonder how many other of my neighbors that I always wave to, but never met are also alone and sad!?</span></span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We also went Christmas caroling with our church. We havent gone for a few years so it was pretty new for the kids. It made quite an impression singing for widows, especially the one who weeped at how lonely she is the year. The kiddos made it a priority to pray for her over the Holidays. </span></span></i></span></div>

Yes, I really did forget. Imagine my embarrassment when I seen that the last pictures on were the trip pics! Well, confession number two: I only had a couple pictures on my camera (something else I forgot I have), but I figured that's better than none at all!! (:</span></b></i></span><br />

Now here come the excuses; we are in week six of school, I have been canning (something that's new for me to tackle alone), (my cucumbers resurrected themselves and I figured after they worked so hard to do that I may as well do more pickles and relish and even more pickles), salsa and more salsa to can, a little boy who has become a constant bored shadow since everyone else is doing school and the list goes on as I'm sure many of you know what that's like!

We had a rough start though, the first week of school we had: 2 bushel peaches, 2 house showings (that didn't result in a sale), Treyton sick the whole time, stage two of my root canal and major job changing decisions for David. But we made it through! </span></b></i></span><br />

Once things aren't so busy, he's anxious to start his school books too. He gave us a scare by throwing up for an entire week. I took him to the doc after a couple days, they said flu, a couple days later we decided this is enough and took him to the children's hospital. They also said flu and to give him a couple more days, which till then he was over it as suddenly as he had started. I wish now I had taken a picture of him, not real "meaty" to begin with, he looked awful with his sunken eyes and very skinny body. Once the throwing up stopped, all he wanted to do was eat and eat and eat some more!

<span style="color: #073763;"><i><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I sat down to <span style="font-size: small;">do this post, I tried to think of what to say has happened the last month. Well<span style="font-size: small;">, not much out of the ordinary. I think the last month has been full of learning lessons fo<span style="font-size: small;">r me. </span>Right after my last post, we found out that our land contract was void, cause the sellers <span style="font-size: small;">weren't</span> <span style="font-size: small;">communicating with each other and one was sel<span style="font-size: small;">ling without his partners knowledge. <span style="font-size: small;">Their <span style="font-size: small;">attorney</span> suggested we mov<span style="font-size: small;">e on. The buyers sa<span style="font-size: small;">id they needed to figure things out<span style="font-size: small;">?</span></span> We made it a matter of prayer. Even the <span style="font-size: small;">kids prayed every night about it. I guess I can say I learned a lesson <span style="font-size: small;">about patience and</span> <span style="font-size: small;">laying</span> MY will and desires down. I really wa<span style="font-size: small;">nted it to wo<span style="font-size: small;">rk out, I had my heart SET on it. After battling over it a couple days, I can say I finally reached the place where I could say ok, God has a <span style="font-size: small;">reason</span> <span style="font-size: small;">for this</span> for<span style="font-size: small;">, and I was ok with giving up my <span style="font-size: small;">hope<span style="font-size: small;">s</span> for the land to work, no matter how badly I wa<span style="font-size: small;">nt to live close<span style="font-size: small;">r to my friends, my church and to send the kids to our ch<span style="font-size: small;">urch school. <span style="font-size: small;">Today our realtor <span style="font-size: small;">emailed to<span style="font-size: small;"> say</span></span> that by word of mouth from t<span style="font-size: small;">he sellers, its a go, but to not say for sure till the attorn<span style="font-size: small;">e<span style="font-size: small;">y gets it on paper. My first response was, fi<span style="font-size: small;">nall<span style="font-size: small;">y. My kids <span style="font-size: small;">put</span> me to sh<span style="font-size: small;">ame by saying, "God answered our prayers"!! An<span style="font-size: small;">other lesson learne<span style="font-size: small;">d!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></i></span></div>

I am reading a book<span style="font-size: small;">, and in there she was talking about the importance of being joyful and thankful, always, this is God's will for us.

My washer o<span style="font-size: small;">ver-flowed, again, <span style="font-size: small;">half my kitchen and pant<span style="font-size: small;">ry was under water. After dealing with the urge to throw the washer off the back deck, <span style="font-size: small;">I decided to look at this in a better way. I have been really badly needing to clean under the washer and dryer<span style="font-size: small;">, <span style="font-size: small;">this <span style="font-size: small;">wasn't</span> how I intended to do it, but now it got done<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></i></span></div>

<i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Life<span style="font-size: small;"> has been so busy and eventful the last whil<span style="font-size: small;">e, where do I start? The Holiday season star<span style="font-size: small;">ted out a little on the wrong foot wh<span style="font-size: small;">en the doctor<span style="font-size: small;"> ordered me to the couch to try and prevent a miscarriage that was threatening to happen. With Thanksgiving <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">less than</span> <span style="font-size: small;">two weeks away, that was hard to do, but <span style="font-size: small;">I did it anyway. I <span style="font-size: small;">was couch bound for a week<span style="font-size: small;">, but I did go ahead and miscarry. It was a first for me and was <span style="font-size: small;">disappointing, e<span style="font-size: small;">specially for the kids. <span style="font-size: small;">Their bed time prayers consisted of asking God to take care of our ba<span style="font-size: small;">by and to please send us another one. Since we are hoping to move this <span style="font-size: small;">s</span>ummer if all works ou<span style="font-size: small;">t, I said they might have to wait awhile<span style="font-size: small;">.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></i></div>

Not sure if it is because of all the events that go with it when I find going away unhandy with schooling, or maybe its the 75* weather (although snow and cold is anything but appealing), or perhaps its thinking of all the coo<span style="font-size: small;">kies and candy that will be a tempt<span style="font-size: small;">ation to me. Whatever the reason, I <span style="font-size: small;">am going through the Season mot<span style="font-size: small;">ions and started mixing batches of cookie dough today. This year we had the kiddos draw names for giving gifts to each other. They think this is the<span style="font-size: small;"> most fun thing and keep begging to go Christmas shopping. As our kids get older, we <span style="font-size: small;">are finding it fun to start our own Christmas traditions to hopefully make fond memories for <span style="font-size: small;">them.

Of all the things to <span style="font-size: small;">catch, they go<span style="font-size: small;">t a huge, fast, ugly<span style="font-size: small;">,<span style="font-size: small;"> and mean looking spider.

To make a long story s<span style="font-size: small;">hort<span style="font-size: small;">, they caught the spider again and had fun viewing it.

The older we get the more I realize that we only have one life to live. What we do today can never be redone tomorrow, but as I look back at our journey together the last 9 years, I have no regrets of that decision to join our hearts and lives in marriage; I only wish we had done it sooner. You make me so proud, seeing you pour your heart and life into myself and our children. You are one of the most selfless people I know, taking care of others before yourself. I thank God every day that I get to have the privilege to have you for my wife.

So, here are a few pictures I managed to scratch together. As awful as it sounds, I just have not found reason to grab the camera. The end of May I had a one track mind, get school finished. I thought life would slow down after that, it did in some ways, but sped up in others! We are also still in the decision mode of deciding what to do for school next year!?<br />Since I don't have many pictures, I will fill up space with a story of something I experienced the other Sunday. It was a scary thing that I think scared 10 years off the beating life of my heart,, well not quite that bad. Treyton had a fever, so I had stayed home from church with him. I heard a knock on the door, I looked out a window and saw no car, so I figured a neighbor must have walked over. Now, I had the inner house door open, and the outer door is full length glass, so as I got to the door, I noticed it was our drug-dealing neighbor on the porch. I figured he was probably here to ask to borrow our lawn mower again. As I went to open the door, I realized he had a large rifle in his hand and slung up over his shoulder. I must say here that it scared me that bad that my heart literally hurt! I knew he had already seen me, so I had no choice but to open the door. I told myself that maybe he was here to warn us that one of his 14 pitt-bulls had gotten loose or something. Well, what he really wanted was to tell me that he had been in the woods behind our house and had come across and shot a rattle snake that was as fat as his arm is round. Now, he is a skinny guy, but that would have been one very large snake! He said he already carried it away to his house, but he wanted to tell me cause he had seen kid toys at that spot in the woods, so he wanted to warn me. I gratefully thanked him for letting me know and he went on his merry way. I must say now that I hope when he seen what I am sure was an obvious look of terror on my face that he learned that a black guy, especially with his well know reputation, just doesn't go and stand on a white ladies front porch with a gun in his hands!!!<br />After he left and I could think a little more clearly, I was wishing I would have had enough nerve to say,"Well, I guess it was a good thing you just so happened to have a gun with you when you seen the snake, and you were behind our house, why? when you live a good walking distance up the road. And really you could have left your gun at home after you took the snake there and before you came to my door!" I guess I should have asked if I could come up and see the snake, because I have a feeling there really was not one. Just the week before this happened, another neighbor came by and she mentioned that everyone is pretty sure he is growing drugs in the woods. We now wonder if he seen kid toys near his plants and wanted to scare the kids away from his precious, expensive crop? Whatever the case may be, the woods are now off limits whether there are snakes or drugs!<br />In my mind that likes to get a little crazy sometimes, I am hoping he had not caught wind that some of the neighbors have been trying to get me to join their cause of getting this guy in trouble so he has to leave our little area here, so he wanted to put fear in us. I had not agreed to help them simply because he had never done anything to us and I did not want to get him mad at us and then he would seek revenge. But that is hopefully just a crazy thought/fear.<br /></span></span></span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hooray! No more school!!!!!<br />(yes, that is my weed patch, I mean garden in the background. With all the rain, the weeds got way ahead of me, I gave up! To the right of the corn is where what is left of my green beans, the deer did eat both rows in 2 nights time!)<br />I have a little tale about our cat. A couple weeks ago he completely disappeared. I came to the conclusion that a hawk must have gotten him. We had very tearful bedtime prayers for quite awhile. A week after he left, we were going around to some of the neighbors giving away some of our too many potatoes, and here was our cat on a neighbors porch, almost within sight of our house! So we got him back. The neighbor man said the cat has been "bawling" on his porch the last week. He claimed he would throw it something to eat once in awhile. It must have been a small roach or something cause the cat was half starved and dehydrated, but at least he had not shot it or something!<br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VYzmBmOcW7I/T9dcQxwdy8I/AAAAAAAAEfA/oTta6qF5GGI/s1600/blog%2B9.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VYzmBmOcW7I/T9dcQxwdy8I/AAAAAAAAEfA/oTta6qF5GGI/s400/blog%2B9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5753168492293376962" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rissa had her 6 month follow-up on her thumb this past week.

We decided to make a very fast trip, and surprise our Mother's. Our siblings knew we were coming, and had everything planned. We showed up at supper time Saturday night at David's Mom's house. The kiddos managed to sneak in the house and surprise Grandma in her kitchen. We stayed there till Sunday afternoon, then we made our way over to my Mom's. Now she has a long lane, and we knew she would see us coming, so we hitched a ride with my brother and his family. Mom and everybody were outside when we go there. Jenny was the first out of the van, and it was worth every hour of driving just seeing Mom's extremely surprised face! We stayed there till Monday morning, then we left for home.<br />I have been blessed with a wonderful Mom and Mother-in-law that I love very much and I am so thankful for them!!<br /><br />Even though I feel like this more than I ever expected to as a Mother, I am still thankful for the privilege and honor of getting to be a Mommy!<br /></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8mqGPL3LAx4/T7YsYycWRtI/AAAAAAAAEcU/eIf-hZ0Ib_k/s1600/funny%2Bmom.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 291px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8mqGPL3LAx4/T7YsYycWRtI/AAAAAAAAEcU/eIf-hZ0Ib_k/s400/funny%2Bmom.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5743827179126802130" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Grandpa and Grandma Summy</span></span></span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pKla7E2hYXQ/T7YrmybLshI/AAAAAAAAEb8/xSb0XumV-VY/s1600/blog%2B14.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pKla7E2hYXQ/T7YrmybLshI/AAAAAAAAEb8/xSb0XumV-VY/s400/blog%2B14.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5743826320128455186" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">They had a blast playing together!
