Good-bye to Our Tree House



About 9 years ago when we still had "Little Boys" we got a Tree House for them to play in and enjoy. It was such an exciting day when the company we purchased it from came to set it up! The boys did a lot of "detective work" and this served as their headquarters! Tim, Tad, and Tom and their friend, Gabe, called themselves "The Four Cops". But the "Four Cops" have grown and now have other interests--plus they are too big to get in the tree house. Last week we said good-bye to this "treasured fixture". We are having some excavating done in our back yard and it was in the way of the needed work. I will always remember the "Little Boys" and the way they inhabitated this wooden structure.

TAD--Our February Birthday!



Tad turned 17 several weeks ago! His slow mother is quite behind on blogging--but possibly "better late than never"! These photos show Tad with his ice cream birthday cake which he and his brothers like. Tad is happy to be back to be back at Trinity Academy this semester. He is in a sophomore Bible Study which he helps to lead. He enjoys working out with weights and is anticipating getting ready for football season. He is starting to line up mowing jobs for this summer. He has a quiet manner (usually) and a very kind, sensitive heart. Our family has been blessed by him. We love you so much, Tad! Have a great year!
