Kennedy helped her dad bring in the big fish! They caught a 6 1/2 lb bass! Way to go guys.
Kennedy tells us how big the fish was!
My First Turkey...it actually turned out delicious. That is blueberry sause on top of it.
On November 20th, we braved participating in the Warrior Dash, a 5k obstacle run-running over cars, jumping barriers, treading through a creek, climbing a muddy hill, running tires, climbing haystacks, rolling over nets, jumping fire, and rolling through a mud pit. We had such a blast! Thanks Sarah K , Sarah and James, Rhonda, Chris, and Mel & Kirk for being warriors….can’t wait till next year~
I received a phone call in the middle of the month from my old boss and friend, Lynn Hulse. I worked with Lynn and her husband, Ed, at Poston Feed Mill while working on my Masters at Tarleton. Lynn had ran across my number in a card I had sent a while back. She called to inform me that Ed has passed away on November 5. When I shut my eyes to envision him I see him standing at the entrance of his office, with a big smile, handle bar mustache, wearing Wranglers and a tucked in shirt. Ed, Lynn, and the others at Poston became my family. They cared for me, listenened, on occasion had to ask “what did you do?”. Still to this day, Poston’s has to be my favorite job I’ve had. This city girl learned more about fertilizer, livestock food, how to weigh trucks, doing accounting by hand, and the amazing warmth and acceptance from the farmers and rancher s that frequented the store(even if it was to just come in for a cup of coffee and a smoke).
My heart also goes out to Erica Uplinger and her family who lost their father on November 20 to cancer. Erica has always been a big advocate of men getting their prostate checked due to the late diagnosis of her father’s cancer.
This also marks the first Holiday for Trey and I to be without our grandmothers. How I miss them both. One of my favorite dishes made this time of year from them are: Nanny’s squash casserole and Granny’s parker house rolls. Even though they are gone, they are still in our hearts. The last couple of times I’ve been to church we have sung “How Great Thou Art”, one of Nanny’s favorite songs. I can’t help but get teary eyed when I sing it, but then remember I can feel her presences telling me she’s still with me and what a lucky gal to be with our Lord.
Trey and I celebrated 6 years together on the 20th. Leah watched August for us so that we could go eat lunch at Foco de Chao. Yes, Trey tried all 16 cuts of meat. Trey- thanks for six marvelous years of marital bliss. You are more than I could ever dream of or asked for from God. I am constantly marveled by your amazing love and playful interaction with our children. As I say every year, the best is yet to come, because every year it seems to get better and better.

August has expanded her vocabulary to include “Hi, bye, ball, and nana”. She has also started to clap this month. She still loves to wave goodbye, bounces up and down to music or when she gets excited, and still very inquisitive on how anything works. She also has her first tooth coming in. At the end of November she took one step!
